It represents the group of words together have the meaning which is different from an individual word meaning, for this metaphorical behavior idioms arise difficulties in the general machine translation system. In this paper, we have proposed a framework for translating Bengali to English. Context sensitive grammar rules are created for parsing. The top-down algorithm is used for parsing the sentences. We have proposed an algorithm for translating idioms in sentences. The proposed system is implemented and tested with about 15000 sentences. The performance analysis of the system gives 85.33% accuracy, which is quite satisfactory.
