Translating system and translating apparatus in which translatable documents are associated with permission to translate

摘要

A Web browser obtains a document in which a pointer indicative of an address in a translating unit has been defined among documents from an HTTP server unit. When translation is instructed by the user, the Web browser transmits a translation request message together with a URL of the document to the translating unit. The translating unit obtains the document corresponding to the supplied URL and transmits a translation result to the Web browser. A document whose translation is not permitted is prevented from being translated.
