Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
A computer assisted language translating machine comprising: a morpheme analyzer for separating a source language sentence, entered in the translating machine, into morphemes with the use of dictionaries; a syntax analyzer for analyzing the syntax of a string of the morphemes, which have been separated by the morpheme analyzer, with the use of a dictionary and grammatical rules; a converter for converting a syntactic structure of the input sentence, analyzed by the syntax analyzer, into a syntactic structure of the target language; a sentence generator for generating a translated sentence according to the syntactic structure of the target language converted by the converter; a code input means 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, said dictionary specifying code being used to specify such particular one of the dictionaries; a discriminating means for determining whether or not the dictionary specifying code has been affixed by the code input means to such one of the words; and a dictionary referencing means operable, when the discriminating means 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 discriminating means determines that the dictionary specifying code has not been affixed to such one of the words, to make reference to all of the dictionary referencing sequence.

A computer assisted language translating machine comprising: a morpheme analyzer for separating a source language sentence, entered in the translating machine, into morphemes with the use of dictionaries; a syntax analyzer for analyzing the syntax of a string of the morphemes, which have been separated by the morpheme analyzer, with the use of a dictionary and grammatical rules; a converter for converting a syntactic structure of the input sentence, analyzed by the syntax analyzer, into a syntactic structure of the target language; a sentence generator for generating a translated sentence according to the syntactic structure of the target language converted by the converter; a code input means 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, said dictionary specifying code being used to specify such particular one of the dictionaries; a discriminating means for determining whether or not the dictionary specifying code has been affixed by the code input means to such one of the words; and a dictionary referencing means operable, when the discriminating means 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 discriminating means determines that the dictionary specifying code has not been affixed to such one of the words, to make reference to all of the dictionary referencing sequence.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
A computer assisted language translating machine having dictionary means for storing a plurality of dictionaries associating words of a source language and words of a target language, means for inputting a sentence comprising words in the source language and means for producing a corresponding sentence in the target language with reference to the dictionary means, and means responsive to the input of a dictionary specifying code associated with a said source language word to refer from the translation of that source language word to the one of said dictionaries specified by said code.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
93 words
A computer assisted language translating machine having dictionary means for storing a plurality of dictionaries associating words of a source language and words of a target language, means for inputting a sentence comprising words in the source language and means for producing a corresponding sentence in the target language with reference to the dictionary means, and means responsive to the input of a dictionary specifying code associated with a said source language word to refer from the translation of that source language word to the one of said dictionaries specified by said code.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A translating machine according to claim 2, including dictionary priority means operable for a source language word having no such associated dictionary specifying code to refer that word to one or more of the dictionaries in a predetermined order of priority.
