A method and apparatus for creating a cross-idea database (Fig. 1) for use in translating documents from a first language (1) into a second language (2). The database associates words and word strings in the first language (1) with words and word strings in the second language (2). The method for creating the database includes translating a word or a word string in a first document in the first language (1) into the second language (2) using a known translator. Then, the translated word or word string is compared with a range of word or word strings in a second document, the second document being in the second language (2). The database provides information on the frequency (3) with which words in the first language are associated with words in the second language. The method includes adjusting the number of words in the range to obtain an optimal range size for efficiently and accurately creating the cross-idea database (Fig. 1).
