ANNOTATION DATA TRANSLATION APPARATUS, ANNOTATION DATA TRANSLATION METHOD, AND ANNOTATION DATA TRANSLATION PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately translate annotation data for a map using Japanese into annotation data for a map using another language.SOLUTION: An extraction unit 104A extracts annotation data of a region designated by a provision request from a user, from Japanese annotation DB 106. A first translation unit 104D translates respective kanji character parts of the extracted annotation data into accurate reading information using a regional kanji reading dictionary 108. A second translation unit 104E translates kanji parts which the first translation part 104D cannot translate and parts other than the kanji into a language designated by the request from the user, using a generalized translation dictionary 110.
