A translation system and method of translating information, such as a homepage, written in a first language into a second language, when the information is written in accordance with a markup language grammar and provided by an information providing apparatus, such as a server computer connected to the Internet.

Mark up language grammar based translation system

A document detection system capable of detecting a desired document from a large number of documents easily and accurately in which the user can make a judgement concerning the appropriateness of the detection result quickly. In the system, those documents which contain a semantic structure of a detection command containing natural language expressions entered by a user are detected. Also, the keywords of each document can be extracted from the summary of each document and those documents whose keywords match with detection keywords specified by a user can be detected. Also, the summary of each detected document can be automatically generated according to text structures of each detected document and displayed along with the detected document itself. Also, the detection processing can be carried out with respect to the summaries of the documents instead of the documents themselves.

Document detection system with improved document detection efficiency

A human interface system constructed by connecting systems containing a plurality of computers via a network includes site building means for building a plurality of sites that either retain or manage a plurality pieces of data and a plurality of programs, and access managing means for managing users' access to each site. The access managing means has a communication channel between the users established by accessing the sites via the data and programs.

Human interface system for communicating networked users

A machine translation system including an input unit, a first text memory, a translation dictionary, a translation processor, a second text memory, and a control editor. The first and second text memories respectively store an original text and a translated text. The translation dictionary includes a word/idiom dictionary. The translation processor executes translation processing of the original text using the content of the translation dictionary to obtain the translated text. The control editor controls the respective units, and performs edit processing of at least the translated text. The control editor includes a changing section for changing a translated word in the translated text corresponding to a designated word in the original text to another translated word, and a replacing section for, when the translated word in the translated text corresponding to the designated word in the original text is changed to another translated word by the changing section, providing priority to a translated word in which a translated word portion corresponding to the designated word in the original text is replaced with the other translated word as a translated word corresponding to an entry word including the designated word in the original text in the word/idiom dictionary.

Machine language translation system which produces consistent translated

A method and apparatus for machine translation of a language capable of dealing efficiently with situations which conventionally required repetitions of similar translations, including the steps of: searching, for each new original document to be translated, the stored original documents which are utilizable in translation of the new original document to be translated; and translating the new original document to be translated by utilizing the stored translated documents corresponding to the stored original document found by the search.
