computer-assisted translation.

摘要

A computer assisted language translating machine which comprises a morpheme analyzer for separating a source language sentence into morphemes with the use of dictionaries; a syntax analyzer for analyzing the syntax of a string of the morphemes with the use of a dictionary and grammatical rules; a converter for converting a syntactic structure of the input sentence into a syntactic structure of the target language; and a sentence generator for generating a translated sentence according to the syntactic structure of the target language converted by the converter. A code input unit is provided for inputting a dictionary specifying code to one of words which requires the use of a particular one of the dictionaries, utilized by the morpheme analyzer for dictionary referencing, when being translated into a target language counterpart. A discriminator determines whether or not the dictionary specifying code has been affixed by the code input means to such one of the words. A dictionary referencing unit is operable, when the discriminator determines that the dictionary specifying code has been affixed to such one of the words, to make reference to such particular one of the dictionaries and also operable, when the discriminator determines that the dictionary specifying code has not been affixed to such one of the words, to make reference to all of the dictionaries according to a predetermined system dictionary referencing sequence.
