Machine translation system, machine translation method, and storage medium storing program for executing machine translation method

摘要

A first aspect of the present invention provides a machine translation system comprising: input means for inputting an original text in a first language to be translated; translation processing means for performing translation processing, including parsing, on the inputted original text and generating a translation in a second language; dictionary storage means for storing various dictionaries for use in said translation processing; and output means for outputting said translation; wherein said translation processing means creates new phrase structure rules by synthesizing related phrase structure rules during said parsing and generates said translation based on said new phrase structure rules. A second aspect of the present invention provides a machine translation method comprising the steps of: inputting an original text in a first language to be translated; performing translation processing, including parsing, on the inputted original text with reference to a given dictionary to generate a translation in a second language; and outputting said translation; wherein said translation processing step creates new phrase structure rules by synthesizing related phrase structure rules during said parsing and generates said translation based on said new phrase structure rules. A third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable program storage medium which stores a program for performing the machine translation method of the second aspect.
