Abstract: To provide a translation machine for translating the original text, while retaining the relationship information by extracting the relationship information from the original text and editing the text based on the information. At the relationship information extraction and text edition process, the relationship information is extracted, and based on the relationship information paragraphs, sentences and phrases are edited. The text is rewritten based on the rewriting rule of a session layer. Through this process, the original text is rewritten or edited to a simple text but provided with the equivalent information. Subsequently, sentence structure analysis, semantic analysis and sentence synthesis are executed, thereby outputting translated sentences.

Abstract: A CD-ROM information editing apparatus is proposed which edits information recorded on CD-ROM and input from an external CD-ROM information reading equipment. A plurality of text files included in the input information is first linked into a single file. Unnecessary information among the data of the linked file is then eliminated. Moreover, compound sentences and complex sentences are divided into simple sentences. The CD-ROM information is thus edited and thereby provides facilitated and expedited process at later translation by an automatic translation equipment.
