A machine translation system having a natural language source module for accepting externally introduced text in the source language. The system is broadly based upon the concept of Chaos and conducts a divergent search in the source language, a morpheme root database, and further includes a morphological word stripping means that is to be implemented on a data processing device. The system source module provides the steps whereby each of the words in a subject clause, phrase, or sentence of the externally introduced source language text are individually compared first to data in a lexical database and if the individual words are not found among the data in the lexical database then the words are subjected to the morphological word stripping means which are directed to the affixes of the words and first to the stripping of suffixes, if any, from each word followed by the step of comparing an individual stripped word, in the absence of that particular word's stripped suffix, with the data in the morpheme root database, which comparison normally proceeds downward through descending length character strings until a morpheme root match is found. The stripping and comparison with the database are repeated as often as required to find a root match.

Improved translation system utilizing a morphological stripping process

A method of using a created international language as an intermediate pathway in translation between two national languages, wherein the first language is translated into the created international language, the latter serving as a bridge, which is then translated into the second language. In the present method there are interpretive steps rather than a strict word for word translation, without interpretation, which has proven falacious in the past.
