• -mbr-scale: scaling factor to convert log linear score probability in MBR decoding (default 1.0)
• -mbr-size: number of translation candidates considered in MBR decoding (default 200)
• -minimum-bayes-risk (-mbr): use miminum Bayes risk to determine best translation
• -monotone-at-punctuation (-mp): do not reorder over punctuation
• -n-best-factor: factor to compute the maximum number of contenders (=factor*nbest-size). value 0 means infinity, i.e. no threshold. default is 0
• -n-best-list: file and size of n-best-list to be generated; specify - as the file in order to write to STDOUT
• -output-factors: list if factors in the output

• -phrase-drop-allowed (-da): if present, allow dropping of source words
• -print-alignment-info: Output word-to-word alignment into the log file. Word-to-word alignments are taken from the phrase table if any. Default is false

• -translation-option-threshold (-tot): threshold for translation options relative to best for input phrase
• -ttable-file: location and properties of the translation tables
• -use-alignment-info: Use word-to-word alignment: actually it is only used to output the word-to-word alignment. Word-to-word alignments are taken from the phrase table if any. Default is false.
• -use-persistent-cache: cache translation options across sentences (default true)
• -verbose (-v): verbosity level of the logging
