Abstract

The present invention provides a method for associating a part of a source language text with a translation pattern to translate that part into a target language. Translation patterns are provided, each of which comprises a source language pattern, a target language pattern corresponding to the source language pattern, a variable corresponding to the source language pattern, and a variable corresponding to the target language pattern. If a part of the source language text matches a source language pattern, that source language pattern is represented with a first variable and the corresponding target language pattern is represented by a second variable. If the part of the source language text which is represented with the first variable matches another source language pattern with a nested structure in which at least the first variable is included, that source language pattern is represented with a third variable and the target language pattern which corresponds to that source language pattern and has a nested structure in which the second variable is included is represented by a fourth variable. A translation can be provided by applying all the corresponding parts of the target language text to such a translation pattern.
