Abstract
Abstract An apparatus which translates a document (character string) having various kinds of typographical information, such as on a font size and on a font style, as character attributes, and reflects the typographical information attached to an original text of the document. The apparatus performs a morpheme analysis with typographical information saved, by regarding a piece of typographical information as a morpheme for a document having typographical information between characters. The apparatus judges typographical information attached to each character forming a morpheme after performing a morpheme analysis for a sentence having a piece of typographical information as a character attribute, and determines morpheme typographical information when characters forming a single morpheme carry different pieces of typographical information. The apparatus also separates a sentence whose morpheme is analyzed into a piece of typographical information and an original text translates the original document into some other language and converts to an appropriate one the piece of typographical information as necessary, anticipation of a case in which the piece of typographical information attached to the original document cannot be attached "as is" to its translation result.

133 words
An apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information, comprising: first morpheme analysis means for receiving a first character string having typographical information between characters and for analyzing a morpheme of said received first character string by treating said typographical information between characters as an ordinary lingual morpheme using an ordinary lingual morpheme dictionary and a typographical designation morpheme dictionary; second morpheme analysis means for receiving a second character string having characters including typographical information and for analyzing a morpheme of said received second character string by saving said typographical information in correspondence with said characters using said ordinary lingual morpheme dictionary; and morpheme typographical information determination means for determining morpheme typographical information, when said characters forming a morpheme analyzed by said second morpheme analysis means include different typographical information.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
An apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information, comprising: first morpheme analysis means for receiving a first character string having typographical information between characters and for analyzing a morpheme of said received first character string by treating said typographical information between characters as an ordinary lingual morpheme using an ordinary lingual morpheme dictionary and a typographical designation morpheme dictionary; second morpheme analysis means for receiving a second character string having characters including typographical information and for analyzing a morpheme of said received second character string by saving said typographical information in correspondence with said characters using said ordinary lingual morpheme dictionary; and morpheme typographical information determination means for determining morpheme typographical information, when said characters forming a morpheme analyzed by said second morpheme analysis means include different typographical information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 1, wherein: said first morpheme analysis means further judges, from the attribute of a morpheme obtained by referring to said typographical designation morpheme dictionary and said ordinary lingual morpheme dictionary, whether or not a morpheme represents a typographical morpheme.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 1, wherein: said first morpheme analysis means further connects said typographical morpheme with preceding and succeeding morphemes, by regarding said typographical morpheme as being connectable with both a morpheme preceding said typographical morpheme and a morpheme succeeding said typographical morpheme.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 1, wherein: said first morpheme analysis means further judges whether or not a morpheme preceding said typographical morpheme is connectable with a morpheme succeeding said typographical morpheme, by comparing a connectability of said morpheme preceding said typographical morpheme with a connectability of said morpheme succeeding said typographical morpheme.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 1, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means determines said morpheme typographical information for said morpheme analyzed by said second morpheme analysis means, by adopting, as morpheme typographical information, typographical information of a certain one of the characters forming said morpheme.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 5, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means further predetermines the position of said certain one of said characters forming said morpheme.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 5, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means further predetermines the position of said certain one of said characters forming said morpheme stored in said ordinary lingual morpheme dictionary.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
50 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 5, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means predetermines the position of said certain one of the characters forming a morpheme by an attribute of said morpheme, said attribute including a noun and a verb.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
54 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 1, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means determines said morpheme typographical information for said morpheme analyzed by said second morpheme analysis means, from a combination of various typographical information held by some of said characters forming said morpheme.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
38 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 9, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means determines said morpheme typographical information from a predetermined priority order among said various typographical information.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
43 words
The apparatus for translating a document having various kinds of typographical information according to claim 9, wherein: said morpheme typographical information determination means determines said morpheme typographical information from said combination of said various typographical information, based on preset typographical information synthesis rules.
