We propose a new algorithm for decoding on machine translation process. This approach is based on an evolutionary algorithm. We hope that this new method will constitute an alternative to Moses's decoder which is based on a beam search algorithm while the one we propose is based on the optimisation of a total solution. The results achieved are very encouraging in terms of measures and the proposed translations themselves are well built.
