arXiv:2606.03967v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe AlignAtt4LLM, an IWSLT 2026 simultaneous speech translation system for English to German, Italian, and Chinese. The system is a synchronous cascade: Qwen3-ASR with forced alignment produces an incrementally updated source transcript, and Gemma-4 E4B-it translates that prefix under an MT-side AlignAtt policy. To our knowledge, this is the first application of AlignAtt to a decoder-only LLM, where the encoder-decoder cross-attention used by earlier AlignAtt systems is absent. We recover a usable policy by proposing (1) an explicit source span in the prompt, (2) offline selection of translation-specific alignment heads, (3) selective qk-fast replay of the draft-to-source attention block, and (4) runtime query/key capture that preserves model outputs bit-identically.
