First, for each type of “Japanese”, “Kan-wa”, “English-Japanese”, “Japanese-English” multiple dictionaries stored in the dictionary data memory 12b, the main dictionary used mainly by the user and the sub-dictionaries used after the second are used. When performing the setting, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), if “main / sub dictionary setting instruction” is determined in accordance with the operation of the “shift” key 16s + “setting” key 16E (step A1 → A2). Then, the process proceeds to the main / sub dictionary setting process in FIGS. 7A and 7B (step AS).

  When the main / sub-dictionary setting process is started, the main / sub-dictionary setting screen G1 is displayed on the display unit 17 and is stored for each dictionary type stored in the main / sub-dictionary setting table 12d (see FIG. 3). In accordance with the current setting contents of the main dictionary / sub-dictionary, the main dictionary associated with each of the dictionary keys “Kanji” 16a1, “Kanwa” 16a2, “English-Japanese” 16a3, “Japanese-English” 16a4, and “Menu” key 16m A sub-dictionary is displayed (step S1).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, a message “Please select a dictionary to be exchanged” is displayed on the main / sub dictionary setting screen G1 to prompt the user to select an exchange source dictionary (step S2).

  When the cursor key 16xu, 16xd, 16yr, 16yf in the up / down / left / right direction is operated on the main / sub dictionary setting screen G1 on which the user selection message of the exchange source dictionary is displayed (step S3), it is highlighted. The dictionary selection cursor K is moved and displayed in the cursor operation direction (step S4).

  When the dictionary selection cursor K is moved and displayed, the exchange source dictionary is selected and the “translation / decision” key 16Y is operated as shown in FIG. 8B (step S5). The dictionary is determined as an exchange source dictionary, and an exchange source determination mark M that is highlighted with a double frame is displayed (step S6).

  Then, on the main / sub-dictionary setting screen G1, a message “Please select an exchange destination” for prompting the user selection of the exchange destination of the determined exchange dictionary M is displayed (step S7).

  In the main / sub dictionary setting screen G1 on which the user selection message of the exchange destination is displayed, if the up / down / left / right cursor keys 16xu, 16xd, 16yr, 16yf are operated (step S8), the exchange source dictionary The dictionary selection cursor K that is highlighted in the same manner as when selecting is moved and displayed in the cursor operation direction (step S9).

  When the “translation / decision” key 16Y is operated (step S10), the currently selected dictionary key position or the dictionary at the selected key position is temporarily used as the exchange destination key position or exchange destination dictionary of the exchange source dictionary. It is determined (step S11).

  Then, a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can exchange and set the exchange source dictionary selected and determined in step S6 is detected from the dictionary settable key table 12c (see FIG. 2) (step S12). It is determined whether or not the dictionary type (dictionary key position) of the exchange destination tentatively determined is a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can be set as the exchange destination of the exchange source dictionary (step S13).

  For example, in the case of the main / sub-dictionary setting screen G1 shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the main dictionary “junior English-Japanese” associated with the dictionary key “English-Japanese” 16a3 is used as the exchange source dictionary, and “menu The key position of the “menu” key 16m, which is the exchange destination of the exchange source dictionary “junior English-Japanese” in this case, is not changed in the dictionary settable key table 12c. Since there is no restriction, it is determined that the key position of the “menu” key 16m is a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can be set as the exchange destination of the exchange source dictionary “junior English and Japanese” (step S13). It is determined whether or not there is a dictionary (step S14).

  In this case, since it is determined that there is no dictionary setting at the key position of the “menu” key 16m, which is the selected exchange destination, the dictionary key position being selected by the dictionary selection cursor K (here, “ "Menu" key 16m key position) is formally determined as the exchange destination key position of the exchange source dictionary, and as shown in FIG. 9C, the exchange source dictionary "Junior Eiwa" is formally determined as the exchange destination. It is changed and moved to the key position of the “menu” key 16m and displayed again (step S15).

  Thereby, in the main / sub-dictionary setting table 12d, the user-selected exchange source dictionary can be arbitrarily set within a range that can be set as the exchange destination dictionary type (dictionary key position) based on the dictionary settable key table 12c. Can be set to change.

  In step S13, it is determined that the temporarily determined exchange destination currently selected and displayed is a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can set the exchange source dictionary. If it is determined that a dictionary is set, a dictionary type (dictionary key position) capable of setting a dictionary at the exchange destination is detected based on the dictionary settable key table 12c (see FIG. 2) (step S16) It is determined whether or not the dictionary type (dictionary key position) where the exchange source dictionary is selected and determined is a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can set the exchange destination dictionary (step S17).

  Here, for example, when the dictionary at the exchange destination is “IT Glossary” and the exchange source dictionary type (dictionary key position) is the dictionary key “English-Japanese” 16a3, the exchange source dictionary is selected and determined. The dictionary type (dictionary key position) is determined to be a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can set the exchange destination dictionary. Then, the dictionary at the dictionary key position being selected by the dictionary selection cursor K is formally determined as the exchange destination dictionary of the exchange source dictionary, the exchange source dictionary and the exchange destination dictionary are changed by changing their display positions, and displayed again. (Step S17 → S18).

  Thus, in the main / sub-dictionary setting table 12d, the exchange source dictionary and the exchange destination dictionary selected by the user are replaced with the respective dictionary exchange destination and exchange source dictionary based on the dictionary settable key table 12c. Within the range that can be set as the type (dictionary key position), it is possible to arbitrarily change and set the exchange.

  In step S13, for example, when the exchange source dictionary is “Kan-Lin” and the exchange destination dictionary type (dictionary key position) is a key position corresponding to the dictionary key “English-Japanese” 16a3, the selection is temporarily determined. If it is determined that the dictionary type of the exchange destination (dictionary key position “Eiwa” 16a3) is not a dictionary type (dictionary key position) that can be set as the exchange destination of the exchange source dictionary “Kan ○ Lin”, A message notifying that the exchange source dictionary being selected cannot be set in the dictionary type (dictionary key position) of the exchange destination that has been temporarily selected is displayed (step S19), and the exchange destination selection message is displayed. Return (step S7).
