Abstract: A translation system performing translation from a first language into a second language under an interaction mode between said translation system and an operator, includes keys for inputting the original sentence to be translated, means for translating the input sentence of said first language into an output sentence of said second language, wherein the operator inputs information relating to at least one word of the input sentence such as the part of speech or the element of the sentence. The translation is then performed on the basis of said input information.

Abstract: An operator can use a word processor for editing by substituting character strings. The operator can use a designating part of the word processor to identify what portion of a text is to be edited. The portion of the text to be edited is a designated character string. A plurality of substitute strings can be stored in a memory. The substitute character strings can replace the designated character strings. In addition, the designated character string can be placed in a memory to be used later as a substitutive character string.

Abstract: One translating system is disclosed in which a first translation mode for translating sentences in a unit of one sentence or a second translation mode for translating sentences in a package may be selectively chosen. Further, in this translation system, sentences to be translated can be entered either by direct data entry such as a keyboard or by indirect data entry such as an external device.

Abstract: An operator interactive translation system for translating sentences in a first language to sentences in a second language includes a separate memory for storing translated words in the second language as learned words corresponding to input words in the first language, upon being indicated as correct equivalents by the user. For each subsequent translation using sentence construction and morpheme analysis, the learned word stored in the buffer memory is selected as the first translation each time the specific input word in the first language appears in a sentence to be translated.

Abstract: A translating apparatus comprising a synonym display device for displaying synonyms related to a certain translated term in a translated sentence, and a replacing arrangement for replacing the certain translated term with an appropriate synonym selected among the synonyms displayed by the display device, whereby a more suitable translated term or terms can be selected through consultation of a dictionary contained in the apparatus.
