Our program compares French and Italian translations of Homer's Odyssey, from the XVIth to the XXth century. We focus on the third point, showing how distributional semantics systems can be used both to improve alignment between different French translations as well as between the Greek text and a French translation. Although we focus on French examples, the techniques we display are completely language independent.

Mots clés: Translation studies; machine translation; computational linguistics; distributional semantics
