Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To facilitate the operation of a translator by displaying a variable part with special symbols, such as parentheses, when an example sentence is accessed or when an accessed sentence is partially modified or translated, and by displaying a part, to which data should be inputted with keys, by using symbols differing from another variable part. CONSTITUTION:To a display part equipped with an indicator for the language and various indicators and display part 10 having input keys for symbols, display/drive part 11 which controls character display and the lighting of the indicators is connected. To this drive part 11, key matrix 12 is connected via one-chip microcomputer 13, and language ROMs 14-16 are connected via the address bus and data bus. Further, computer 13 is connected to ROMs 14-16. When an example sentence is accessed or when an accessed sentence is partial modified or translated, the variable part is displayed with specific symbols, such as double parentheses, and a part for key input is also displayed with symbols, such as single parentheses, differing from those of the variable part, thereby facilitating the operation.
