Abstract
Abstract In a system wherein a first text described in a first natural language is translated into a second text described in a second natural language; a test displaying and correcting system comprising a first memory area for storing parts of the first text divided in predetermined units, with identifications assigned to the respective parts, and a second memory area for storing predetermined units of the second text corresponding to the aforementioned units of the first text, with the same identifications assigned thereto, so that the first and second texts are simultaneously displayed on an identical screen of a display unit, and that the text is revised in each unit assigned the identification.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
215 words
A displaying method for a machine translation system, comprising: (a) the step of dividing a sentence in a source language into a plurality of phrasal elements, and storing the respective phrasal elements into a source text area of a memory with predetermined identifications assigned thereto, (b) the step of separating a sentence in an object language into units having the same linguistic meanings as said phrasal elements, and storing the respective unit phrasal elements into an object text area of the memory with the same identifications assigned thereto, (c) the step of storing a display start address of the sentence of the source language, a display start -address of the sentence of the object language, and the identifications of the phrasal elements to be highlightedly displayed, into a parameter area of the memory, (d) the step of partitioning a screen of a display unit into two display areas, and displaying on the first display area the sentence stored in said source text area and displaying on the second display area the sentence stored in said object text area, and (e) the step of highlightedly displaying the corresponding phrasal elements of the sentence of the source language and the sentence of the object language which have the identifications stored in said parameter area of said memory.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
215 words
A displaying method for a machine translation system, comprising: (a) the step of dividing a sentence in a source language into a plurality of phrasal elements, and storing the respective phrasal elements into a source text area of a memory with predetermined identifications assigned thereto, (b) the step of separating a sentence in an object language into units having the same linguistic meanings as said phrasal elements, and storing the respective unit phrasal elements into an object text area of the memory with the same identifications assigned thereto, (c) the step of storing a display start address of the sentence of the source language, a display start -address of the sentence of the object language, and the identifications of the phrasal elements to be highlightedly displayed, into a parameter area of the memory, (d) the step of partitioning a screen of a display unit into two display areas, and displaying on the first display area the sentence stored in said source text area and displaying on the second display area the sentence stored in said object text area, and (e) the step of highlightedly displaying the corresponding phrasal elements of the sentence of the source language and the sentence of the object language which have the identifications stored in said parameter area of said memory.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
120 words
A displaying method according to claim 1, which further comprises: (a) the step of storing a cursor address in the screen of the display unit into said parameter area of said memory, (b) the step of- deciding whether or not the cursor address lies between the display start address of the sentence of the source language and a display end address which is calculated from said display start address, (c) the step of shifting said display start address by a predetermined value when said cursor address does not lie between said start address and said end address, and (d) the step of shifting the display start address of the sentence of the object language in correspondence with the aforementioned shift.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
A displaying method according to claim 2, which further comprises: (a) the step of highlightedly displaying the phrasal element directly preceding the cursor address when said cursor address lies between the display start address and end address of the sentence of the source language, (b) the step of deciding.whether or not the address of the phrasal element of the object language sentence having the same identification as that of the aforementioned phrasal element lies between the display start address and display end address of the sentence of the object language, and (c) the step of shifting said display start address of the object language sentence by a predetermined value when the aforementioned address of said phrasal element does not lie between said display start address and said display end address.
