A dialogue control system that uses an ontology that systematically expresses domain knowledge representing concepts and relationships between concepts to determine questions for a user and implements the questions, and implements a dialogue in accordance with received user answers. One or more dimension-classified ontologies and a basic ontology are stored, a concept from a user response is specified as a condition, and one or a plural number of the dimension-classified ontologies that meet the specified condition are fetched. The content of the fetched dimension-classified ontology/ies is overwritten on the basic ontology, in order according to dimension priorities from the dimension-classified ontology with the lowest dimension priority, and a multidimensional ontology is generated. The dialogue control system uses this multidimensional ontology to control the dialogue.

A Web browser obtains a document in which a pointer indicative of an address in a translating unit has been defined among documents from an HTTP server unit. When translation is instructed by the user, the Web browser transmits a translation request message together with a URL of the document to the translating unit. The translating unit obtains the document corresponding to the supplied URL and transmits a translation result to the Web browser. A document whose translation is not permitted is prevented from being translated.
