The metrics compare an automatically produced summary or translation against a reference or a set of references (human-produced ...
Many translators use the toolkit directly, to do quality checks and to transform files for translation. Further there are and have been several indirect users of the Translate Toolkit API: Pootle - an online translation tool; open-tran - providing translation memory lookup (was shut down on January 31, 2014.)

If you do find one, you don't need to include the foreign-language citation.
BLEU (bilingual evaluation understudy) is an algorithm for evaluating the quality of text which has been machine-translated from one natural language to another. Quality is considered to be the correspondence between a machine's output and that of a human: "the closer a machine translation is to a professional human translation, the better it is" – this is the central idea behind BLEU.
