Abstract
A machine translation apparatus includes a morpheme analyzer having a dictionary for analyzing a source sentence into morphemes and for obtaining part of speech and other information using the dictionary, a syntax analyzer having grammatical rules for analyzing the structure of the morphemes identified by the morpheme analyzer using the dictionary and grammatical rules, a convertor for converting the structure obtained by the syntax analyzer to a structure of the target language, and a translated sentence generator for generating a translated sentence according to the structure of the target language obtained by the convertor. The translation apparatus further includes a marker entry for entering a no-conversion start marker and a no-conversion end marker in the input sentence, so that during the generation of the target language, the words between the no-conversion start and end markers are developed without being translated. Furthermore, a distinct translation phrase marker is used to separate the entered source sentence, so that the translation can be separately carried out between the separated sections.
