A translation machine system for translating an input sentence includes a circuit for determining the language to be input depending on the processing status of the translation machine, and a setting circuit to set the input mode corresponding to the input language determined by the circuit.

Translation machine system

A translation system performing translation from a first language into a second language under an interaction mode between said translation system and an operator, includes keys for inputting the original sentence to be translated, means for translating the input sentence of said first language into an output sentence of said second language, wherein the operator inputs information relating to at least one word of the input sentence such as the part of speech or the element of the sentence. The translation is then performed on the basis of said input information.

Translation system

A translation machine system capable of displaying the original input sentence and the sentence translated from the original sentence includes a device which optionally splits a sentence into multiple sentences, and a device which connects multiple sentences into a single sentence.

Translation machine system with splitting and combining of sentences

A translation apparatus is capable of translating a sentence from an original language into a sentence of a target language. In the translation apparatus, the sentence from the original language is analyzed by a computer so that the sentence of the target language may be produced. Prior to the translation, if the sentence from the original language contain a word or words which have not been registered in dictionaries for translation, such words can be collectively indicated on a screen or outputted by a printer. During the translation, if the sentence of the target language contain an inappropriate word or words, each of these words can be replaced by another desired word.

System and method for language translation including replacement of a

A translation system for translating a sentence of an original language into a sentence of a target language utilizes a computer which pre-treats insertion marks. These insertion marks can be quotation marks, colons, semicolons or parentheses found in the original language sentence. The computer also post-treats the insertion marks to provide an appropriate translation of the insertion marks into the target language sentence. These translations of the insertion marks are carried out without carrying the insertion marks throughout the whole translation process.

Apparatus for translating sentences containing punctuation marks

A translation apparatus is provided for translating a sentence from an original language into a sentence of a target language. The translation apparatus has a computer which analyzes the original language sentence, and generates the target language sentence based on the analyzed original language sentence. During the translation, indicators are displayed on a screen for indicating that the analysis of the original language sentence is taking place, and other indicators are displayed for indicating that the generation of the target language sentence is taking place. These indicators will help the operator to know that the translation apparatus is properly operating for obtaining a translation result, particularly when the translation process is taking a long time.

Sentence translator with processing stage indicator

A translating apparatus for translating an input sentence and outputting its translated sentence so as to display the input sentence and the translated sentence, includes a division device for dividing the input sentence at a designated location into a plurality of character-strings, a linking device for linking a plurality of character-strings into the input sentence, and a selection device for selecting one of the division device or the linking device.

Translating apparatus

A translation system for translating a first language into a second language having at least one user's dictionary into which individual words in the first language desired and equivalent words in the second language can be registered according to user's necessity. This translation system provides means for designating a postpositional word functioning as an auxiliary to a main word such as a verb upon registering the main word in the user's dictionary.

Translation system allowing user designation of postpositional words

A machine translation system for translating inputted sentences using a translation dictionary, defined grammatical rules and tree conversion rules. The translation system is capable of producing partial translation when the entire sentence cannot be translated as a whole. Each translated portion is representative of an analyzed partial tree of the complete inputted sentence.

Machine translation system

A machine translation system to display an input sentence and a translated sentence thereof, comprising a region specifying circuit for specifying a desired portion in the input sentence, and a partial translating circuit for translating only the portion specified by the region specifying circuit is disclosed.

Machine translation system translating all or a selected portion of an

One translating system is disclosed in which a first translation mode for translating sentences in a unit of one sentence or a second translation mode for translating sentences in a package may be selectively chosen. Further, in this translation system, sentences to be translated can be entered either by direct data entry such as a keyboard or by indirect data entry such as an external device.

An operator interactive translation system for translating sentences in a first language to sentences in a second language includes a separate memory for storing translated words in the second language as learned words corresponding to input words in the first language, upon being indicated as correct equivalents by the user. For each subsequent translation using sentence construction and morpheme analysis, the learned word stored in the buffer memory is selected as the first translation each time the specific input word in the first language appears in a sentence to be translated.

Bilingual translation system capable of memorizing learned words

A translating apparatus comprising a synonym display device for displaying synonyms related to a certain translated term in a translated sentence, and a replacing arrangement for replacing the certain translated term with an appropriate synonym selected among the synonyms displayed by the display device, whereby a more suitable translated term or terms can be selected through consultation of a dictionary contained in the apparatus.
