Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method of translating a sentence J having a specific language structure into an apparatus E having a different language structure and creating a bilingual list of the translated sentence. With recent remarkable advances in word processors, it has become possible to input Japanese and English texts freely into the word processor, and the input Japanese and English texts can be edited on a so-called host general-purpose computer. It has become possible to print the data, store it in the file memory of the computer, and output it to, for example, a printer as needed. On the other hand, with the remarkable progress of computer technology, the number of types of computers has increased and their functions have become more sophisticated, and the number of manuals related to these computers has been increasing year by year.However, with the recent development of international exchange, As a result, translation of the above-mentioned manuals has become necessary, and the translation work has inevitably increased, so it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the translation-related work, especially the work of checking for errors in the translated text, which is important for the translation work. It has become required. Therefore, when the above-mentioned Japanese manuals are translated into English, for example, the Japanese manual and the translated English manual are input into the host computer through the word processor, etc., and the computer processing is performed. Therefore, it has come to be expected to create a list of parallel translations. [Prior Art] Figure 4 schematically shows a conventional method for checking whether the contents of the Japanese manual have been translated correctly when, for example, a Japanese manual is translated into an English manual. indicates file data, 2 and 2' are computers, 3 and 3' are print outputs, and 4 is a check operation. The Japanese manual to be translated is input into the file memory of the host computer 2 through, for example, a Japanese word processor, and the input Japanese manual 1 is edited by the host computer 2 into an easy-to-read format and printed out 3. can be obtained. Similarly, for the translated English manual 1', a printed output 3' edited into sentences corresponding to the Japanese manual 1 can be obtained. Print output 3 output in this way,
Translation errors were detected by manually checking 3'. [Problem to be solved by the invention] Therefore, in the conventional method, the Japanese manual to be checked and the translated English manual are prepared by, for example, printing on a computer, and the translated parts are manually edited. There was a problem in that a search was required and the search took an enormous amount of time. In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, the present invention, for example, stores the chapters and sections of the Japanese and English texts on one sheet from the Japanese and English data input into the file memory.
The purpose of this project is to provide a device that prints out the Japanese and English texts together with items such as section, ..., etc., eliminates the trouble of having to prepare Japanese and English documents, and at the same time makes it easier to check translations. be. [Means to solve the problem] The purpose is to create sentences with a specific language structure.
is translated into a sentence E having a different language structure, and a bilingual list is created to check the accuracy of the translation, and each sentence is recorded separately for the above sentences J and E. The above record of each sentence is divided into units, and in each record, the item information of each record given according to the standards established by the language system is converted to an item number in a specific format. and the two types of item numbers related to the sentences J and E, which were given by the first means, are individually collected into a table, and the item numbers of both are collated. Then, a second means for adding a flag to each item number for numbers that do not match each other, and a record of sentences J and E having item numbers in a specific format given by the first means. When read, for sentences J and E that correspond to the same item number without the above flag, the lines of both records are output together, and the sentences J and E to which the flag is attached are output for the above item number. Alternatively, a parallel translation of sentence E, which is a translation of sentence J, is provided by providing sentence E and a third means that outputs records to which item numbers are not assigned by the first means without aligning the lines. This is achieved by the translation list creation device of the present invention which creates a list. [Operation] That is, according to the present invention, an item number in a specific format is assigned to item information that is desired to be matched, for example, Japanese or English, a table is created in which the item numbers are collected, and items that do not have the same number are creates a flag table so that flags are set for each other, and using this flag table, outputs the Japanese and English sentences with the same item number that do not have the flag on the same line, and outputs the Japanese and English sentences with the flag set. and sentences without the above item numbers are output as they are, for example, according to the "line control" predefined in the device without aligning the two lines, creating a so-called translation list of translated sentences. This eliminates the need to prepare materials for the Japanese manual and the translated English manual, and also eliminates the need to search for translated parts, making it easier to check translations. [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram explaining the concept of the present invention,
