Abstract
A translator includes a word dictionary, an affix dictionary, an input section for inputting an original language to be a first language, a converting section for referring to the word dictionary, thereby converting the input original language into a translated word to be a second language, a recognizing section for referring to the word dictionary and the affix dictionary, thereby recognizing a derivative having an affix and a word base from the input original language which cannot be converted into the translated word by the converting section, a derivative translation generating section for linking a translated word corresponding to the affix of the recognized derivative to a translated word corresponding to the word base, thereby generating a translated word of one derivative, and an affix determining section for determining one affix based on an affix processing condition given from a language characteristic information when a derivative including a plurality of affixes is recognized by the recognizing section, wherein the derivative translation generating section generates a translated word of a derivative having the affix determined by the affix determining section and a word base corresponding thereto.
