Summary:This paper describes a study on the contribution of some basic linguistic features to the task of machine translation evaluation of Arabic as a target language. AL-TERp is used as a metric dedicated and tuned especially for Arabic. Performed experiments on a medium sized corpora show that linguistic knowledge improves the correlation of metric results with human assessments. Also a detailed qualitative analysis of the results highlights a number of resolved issues related to the use of linguistic features.
