  • Patent number: 11403470
    Abstract: A storage unit stores a target term, a substitute term, a substitute translated term, and a representative term. The substitute translated term is a translation of the substitute term and is expressed in a second language. The representative term indicates a type of the target term and is expressed in the second language. A communication unit acquires a provisional translation that is a translation of a processed sentence from a first external device that has a translation function. When the storage unit does not store a target translated term that is a translation of the target term, a controller replaces the substitute translated term contained in the provisional translation with the representative term to generate a second display-purpose translated sentence, and then causes a display unit to display the second display-purpose translated sentence.

  • Publication number: 20220092277
    Abstract: A translation device comprises: a memory that stores first dictionary information including a replacement target term in a first language and a translated word in a second language for the replacement target term in association with each other, and second dictionary information including an alternative term instead of the replacement target term; a controller that replaces the replacement target term included in an input sentence with the alternative term to generate a replaced sentence; and a communication interface that outputs the replaced sentence to an external device and acquires a translation result of the replaced sentence in the second language from the external device. The controller detects a specific character string in the translation result of the replaced sentence acquired from the communication interface, and replaces the detected character string with a translated word associated with the replacement target term in the first dictionary information, to generate a translated sentence.
