Abstract: A machine translation system includes a database for storing various information, database management section for performing database management, a bilingual correspondence data record subsystem for performing recording/learning processing of translation examples, a translation subsystem for performing translation processing, and dictionary management utilities for performing dictionary management and database transmission/reception processing. The bilingual correspondence data recording section records English and Japanese bilingual correspondences by using English and Japanese sentences stored in the same file or different files. The recorded bilingual correspondences are linked in units of parts by a bilingual correspondence learning section. In performing translation, an English-to-Japanese translation section and the like generate a translation of an original sentence as a translation target by using parts and the like which have undergone learning/recording processing.
