Abstract
A machine translation method is provided, in which a plurality of different first forward-translated sentences is generated resulting from translation of a received translation-source sentence into the second language. It is determined into which of an interrogative form, an affirmative form, a negative form, and an imperative form each of the plurality of different first forward-translated sentences is classified. A plurality of different second forward-translated sentences is determined from the plurality of different first forward-translated sentences, based on the classified form. A plurality of backward-translated sentences is generated resulting from backward translation of the plurality of different second forward-translated sentences into the first language. Upon receiving an operation of the user for selecting one of the plurality of backward-translated sentences, a forward-translated sentence corresponding to the selected backward-translated sentence is output to the information output device.
