Machine translation apparatus for translating document with tag

Claim 2

A machine translation apparatus for translating a document including at least one tag, said machine translation apparatus comprising: a definition file for converting said tag into supplementary translation information for a machine translation a supplementary translation information adding means, operably connected to said definition file, for adding the supplementary translation information for said tag into said document in accordance with said definition file; and a machine translation engine, operably connected to said supplementary translation information adding means, for carrying out the machine translation operation after accepting said document having the supplementary translation information, said supplementary translation information, which has been converted from said tag, being recognizable by said machine translation engine for carrying out said machine translation operation.

Claim 3

A machine translation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said document to be translated is a standard general markup language document including at least one tag, and said standard general markup language document is translated by converting said tag thereof into supplementary translation information.

Claim 4

A machine translation apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein said machine translation apparatus translates said standard general markup language document written in a first language and outputs a translated standard general markup language document written in a second language.

Claim 5

A machine translation apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said machine translation apparatus further comprises an alarm function unit for detecting a portion of said document to be translated where supplementary translation information is required, and for carrying out an alarm process by adding a specific tag to said detected portion of said document.

Claim 6

A machine translation apparatus for translating a document including at least one tag, said machine translation apparatus comprising: an original document reading means for reading an original document to be translated; a pre-processing means, operably coupled to said original document reading means, for carrying out a pre-process for a machine translation operation by converting said tag of said original document to supplementary translation information which can be recognized by said machine translation apparatus, or by deleting said tag from said original document; a machine translation performing means, operably coupled to said pre-processing means, for translating said original document, having the supplementary translation information, by referring to an exclusive dictionary file and an exclusive grammar file; and a post-processing means, operably coupled to said machine translation performing means, for carrying out a post-process of said machine translation operation by adding another tag corresponding to said tag of said original document to a translated document in accordance with a requirement.

Claim 7

A machine translation apparatus for translating a document including at least one tag, said machine translation apparatus comprising: an original document reading means for reading an original document to be translated; a pre-processing means, operably coupled to said original document reading means, for carrying out a pre-process for a machine translation operation by converting said tag of said original document to supplementary translation information which can be recognized by said machine translation apparatus, or by deleting said tag from said original document; a machine translation performing means, operably coupled to said pre-processing means, for translating said original document, having the supplementary translation information, by referring to an exclusive dictionary file and an exclusive grammar file; and a post-processing means, operably coupled to said machine translation performing means, for carrying out a post-process of said machine translation operation by adding another tag corresponding to said tag of said original document to a translated document in accordance with a requirement.

Claim 8

A machine translation apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said document to be translated is a standard general markup language document including at least one tag, and said standard general markup language document is translated by converting said tag thereof into supplementary translation information.

Claim 9

A machine translation apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said machine translation apparatus translates said standard general markup language document written in a first language and outputs a translated standard general markup language document written in a second language.

Claim 10

A machine translation apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said machine translation apparatus further comprises an alarm function unit for detecting any portion of said document to be translated where supplementary translation information is required, and for carrying out an alarm process by adding a specific tag to said detected portion of said document; and the document having the specific tag added by said alarm function unit is read by said original document reading means.
