Abstract: According to one embodiment, an update support apparatus includes a first storage, a second storage, an extractor and a presenter. The first storage stores an identifier, word information, and an update history which are associated with each other. The second storage stores dictionary entries in each of which the identifier and the update history are associated with each other for each version of one or more dictionaries which use the word information. The extractor extracts one or more update candidates from the second storage, the one or more update candidates each being a dictionary entry having the identifier stored in the first storage and an update history different from the update history stored in the first storage. The presenter presents the one or more update candidates to a user.
