In this paper, we present an original approach to translate simple biomedical terms between several languages. This fully automatic approach is based on a machine learning technique inferring rewriting rules and on language models. The experiments that are presented are done onn several language pairs (French-English, Spanish-Portuguese, Czech-English, Russian-English...). They demonstrate the efficiency of our approach by yielding translation performances that vary according to the languages but are always very good and better than those of state-of-art techniques. Indeed, the translation precision rates go from 57.5% for translation from Russian to English up to 85% for Spanish-Portuguese and French-English language pairs.
