Abstract
Abstract A translating apparatus includes: a prefix table for storing a prefix and a plurality of translated words of the prefix such that the translated words of the prefix are, respectively, composed of different kinds of characters of a target language. There is in the apparatus a prefix decision device for deciding whether or not one of morphemes obtained by a morphological analysis portion is a basic word combined with the prefix. The apparatus also has a character discriminating device for discriminating, in the case where it has been decided by the prefix decision device that the one of the morphemes obtained by the morphological analysis portion is the basic word combined with the prefix, a kind of characters of a translated word of the basic word. In addition there is a prefix translating device in the apparatus for generating one of the translated words of the prefix from the prefix table such that the one of the translated words of the prefix is composed of characters of the same kind as that of the characters of the translated word of the basic word, which has been discriminated by the character discriminating device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
285 words
In a translating apparatus including a morphological analysis portion for not only dividing an inputted sentence of a source language into morphemes but obtaining translated words of the morphemes by using a dictionary, a syntactic analysis portion for analyzing, by using the dictionary and grammatical rules, structure of a sequence of the morphemes divided by said morphological analysis portion, a converter for converting the structure of the inputted sentence obtained by said syntactic analysis portion into a structure of a translated sentence of a target language and translated sentence generator for generating the translated sentence in accordance with the structure of the translated sentence obtained by said converter, the improvement comprising: a prefix table for storing a prefix and a plurality of translated words of the prefix such that the translated words of the prefix are, respectively, composed of different kinds of characters of the target language; a prefix decision means for deciding whether or not one of the morphemes obtained by said morphological analysis portion is a basic word combined with the prefix; a character discriminating means for discriminating, in the case where it has been decided by said prefix decision means that the one of the morphemes obtained by said morphological analysis portion is the basic word combined with the prefix, a kind of characters of a translated word of the basic word; and a prefix translating means for generating one of the translated words of the prefix from said prefix table such that the one of the translated words of the prefix is composed of characters of the same kind as that of the characters of the translated word of the basic word, which has been discriminated by said character discriminating means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
285 words
In a translating apparatus including a morphological analysis portion for not only dividing an inputted sentence of a source language into morphemes but obtaining translated words of the morphemes by using a dictionary, a syntactic analysis portion for analyzing, by using the dictionary and grammatical rules, structure of a sequence of the morphemes divided by said morphological analysis portion, a converter for converting the structure of the inputted sentence obtained by said syntactic analysis portion into a structure of a translated sentence of a target language and translated sentence generator for generating the translated sentence in accordance with the structure of the translated sentence obtained by said converter, the improvement comprising: a prefix table for storing a prefix and a plurality of translated words of the prefix such that the translated words of the prefix are, respectively, composed of different kinds of characters of the target language; a prefix decision means for deciding whether or not one of the morphemes obtained by said morphological analysis portion is a basic word combined with the prefix; a character discriminating means for discriminating, in the case where it has been decided by said prefix decision means that the one of the morphemes obtained by said morphological analysis portion is the basic word combined with the prefix, a kind of characters of a translated word of the basic word; and a prefix translating means for generating one of the translated words of the prefix from said prefix table such that the one of the translated words of the prefix is composed of characters of the same kind as that of the characters of the translated word of the basic word, which has been discriminated by said character discriminating means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
A translating apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a symbol generating means for generating, in the case where the one of the translated words of the prefix has been generated by said prefix translating means, a symbol indicating that the one of the translated words of the prefix has been generated by said prefix translating means, so as to add the symbol to a translated word of a combined word consisting of the basic word and the prefix.
