Word translation system and method thereof

The invention relates to a phrase translation system and a method thereof, in particular to a word translation system and a method thereof capable of querying words and sentences from a network database while translating at a client.

In recent years, with the popularization and flourishing of translation software, users have gradually failed to satisfy the function of simple word translation. Therefore, some manufacturers have proposed the function of word translation to meet the expectations of users. However, the correctness of word translation is Readability has always been a problem that various manufacturers are eager to solve.

Generally speaking, the translation of a sentence is to first translate the words in the entire sentence, and then re-compose according to the grammar rules to display. However, the correctness and readability of the translation results produced in this way still need to be strengthened, because the thinking of human language is too complicated, and there are situations, contexts, etc., which affect the translation results. For example, some words have different interpretations in different situations, so even if they conform to the grammar rules, they will produce incorrect translation results, so there is a problem that the translation of the words is not suitable.

In view of this, some manufacturers have proposed a built-in common reference sentence library, which is different from the previous method of rearranging combinations using grammar rules, and directly compares the sentences received by the user with the sentences in the common reference sentence library. In order to find a matching sentence as a translation result. However, the correctness of the translation results produced in the above manner is limited by the number and quality of the words in the built-in common reference sentence library. Since it is practically impossible to store all the words of a language in the sentence library, only the words can be selected. Commonly used words and phrases, therefore, when the above methods are found to have no matching words after the comparison, it will result in the inability to produce translation results. Moreover, the above methods still cannot effectively solve the problem of poor translation of words and phrases.

In summary, it can be seen that there has been a problem in the prior art that the translation of words and phrases is not suitable for a long time, so it is necessary to propose improved technical means to solve this problem.

The invention discloses a phrase translation system and a method thereof.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, so that the application of the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.

Before explaining the phrase translation system and method thereof disclosed in the present invention, the nouns defined by the present invention are first described. The first phrase interpretation in the present invention refers to the interpretation of words and phrases found through the network database; The interpretation of the two words refers to the solution of words and phrases generated through the translation of the client itself. release. In other words, both are words and phrases, the only difference is that the former is generated through the network database, and the latter is generated through the client itself.

The following is a further description of the phrase translation system and the method thereof according to the drawings. Please refer to "FIG. 1", which is a system block diagram of the phrase translation system of the present invention. The system includes: a network database 110 and Client 120. The network database 110 is configured to pre-store a plurality of translation terms, each translation sentence includes a first sentence interpretation, and the network database 110 and the client 120 are connected to each other through the network 130. In actual implementation, the network 130 can be a wired network or a wireless network, and the network database 110 can be implemented using an associated database.

As for the client 120, the client 120 includes a translation module 121, a query module 122, and a display module 123. The translation module 121 is configured to receive the query terms for translation through the client database to generate a second phrase interpretation. In practical implementation, the translation module 121 first translates all the words in the query phrase, and then reassembles the translated words according to the grammar rules. Since this translation method is a conventional technique, it will not be repeated here.

The query module 122 is configured to, when the translation module 121 receives the query terms, transmit the query terms to the network database 110 for comparison with the translated words in the network database 110, thereby finding matching with the query terms. The translated phrase and the first sentence included therein are interpreted, and the first sentence interpretation found is received from the network database 110. In practical implementation, the comparison manner between the query phrase and the translated phrase includes an exact comparison and a fuzzy comparison, wherein the exact alignment is the same for all the characters of the query phrase and the translated phrase, and the fuzzy comparison is the query phrase and the sentence. The number of identical characters in the translated phrase conforms to the preset threshold, which is the value or percentage of a positive integer, for example: the value "5" or the percentage "80%". In particular, the precise comparison and fuzzy comparison methods can also be used for the comparison and screening of the first sentence interpretation and the second sentence interpretation, for example, whether the first sentence interpretation and the second sentence interpretation are compared. When it is met, it can be judged by means of exact comparison and fuzzy comparison, and the screening is consistent. The first sentence interpretation and the second sentence interpretation.

The display module 123 is configured to allow the user to select to display the second part of the sentence interpretation and the first part of the sentence interpretation when receiving the first sentence interpretation, and also allows the first part of the sentence interpretation and the second part of the sentence to be interpreted according to the comparison condition. Yes, the second sentence is displayed when the comparison is met, and the first sentence is explained when the comparison is not met. In practical implementation, the display module 123 can display the source location of the second phrase interpretation when the comparison is met, and display the source location of the first phrase interpretation when the comparison does not match, so that the user can know the translation from the source location. The result is generated by the network repository 110 or the client 120 itself. In addition, when the first sentence interpretation and the second word interpretation match do not match, the first sentence interpretation found by the network database 110 may be stored in the client 120 for the next query.

Next, please refer to "FIG. 2", and "FIG. 2" is a method for translating words and phrases according to the present invention. The steps include: storing a plurality of translated words in advance in the network database 110, each translated phrase including the first sentence interpretation (step 210); the client 120 receives the query term to translate through the client database, and generates a second phrase interpretation (step 220); when the client 120 receives the query term, the client 120 simultaneously queries the phrase And transmitting to the network database 110, searching for the translated phrase matching the query term and the first sentence interpretation included therein, and transmitting the searched first sentence interpretation to the client 120 by the network database 110 (step 230); when the client 120 receives the first phrase interpretation, the client 120 allows selection to simultaneously display the second phrase interpretation and the first phrase interpretation, and the client 120 also allows the first to be based on the comparison condition. The phrase interpretation is compared with the second phrase interpretation, the second sentence interpretation is displayed when the comparison is met, and the first phrase interpretation is displayed when the comparison is not met (step 240). Through the above steps, the query term can be translated through the client 120 to generate a second phrase interpretation, and at the same time, the query word is transmitted to the network database 110 for querying to obtain the first sentence interpretation, and allowing the selection to display the first sentence interpretation simultaneously. After comparing the first sentence interpretation with the second sentence interpretation and selection, the first sentence interpretation or the second is displayed according to the comparison result. Explanation of words.

In particular, after step 230, the source position of the second sentence interpretation may be displayed when the second word interpretation and the first word interpretation are aligned, and the first sentence interpretation is displayed when the comparison is not met. Source location (step 250).

The following is a description of the following examples in conjunction with "3" to "5B". Please refer to "3" and "3" for a summary of the contents of the network database. As mentioned above, the network database 110 stores a plurality of translated words in advance, and each of the translated words includes a first sentence interpretation. In actual implementation, the pre-stored translated words can be stored in the associated database. Within 300, and in addition to being managed by the network repository 110, the authenticated user on the network 130 may be allowed to maintain and update the translated phrase and the first sentence interpretation it contains. In this way, in addition to greatly increasing the number of translated words in the network database 110 and the number of first words explained therein, the translation of the translated words and phrases can be maintained in an optimal state through the inspection of the public.

For example, "Fig. 4A" and "Fig. 4B" are schematic diagrams for explaining the interpretation of the first sentence using the present invention. First, please refer to "Fig. 4A". Assuming that the user wants to query the interpretation of the words of the translated phrase, the query window 400 can be opened, and the translated phrase to be queried can be typed in the input box 411. Then, after the query component 421 is clicked, the translation module 121 receives the typed translated phrase as a query term to be translated by the client database, and generates a second phrase interpretation according to the translation result, and the query module 122 is also in the translation mode. When the group 121 performs translation, the query words are simultaneously transmitted to the network database 110 to be compared with the translated words to find the translated words matching the query terms and the first sentence interpretations contained therein. For example, if the user types "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" as the query term, the translation module 121 will translate the query term to obtain a second sentence explanation, for example: "An apple a day can be far away. The doctor module, and the query module 122 transmits the query term to the network database 110 to find the first sentence corresponding to the query word. Explain, such as: "An apple a day, the doctor is away from me."

Next, the display module 123 allows the user to select to display the second part of the sentence interpretation and the first sentence interpretation found through the network database 110, and also allows the first word to be interpreted and the second word according to the comparison condition selection. Interpretation is performed to compare the second sentence when the comparison is met, and the first sentence is explained when the comparison is not met. In the above example, the first sentence is interpreted as “an apple a day, the doctor is away from me”, and the second sentence is interpreted as “an apple a day, away from the doctor”. Therefore, when the user chooses to display two words at the same time, As shown in "Fig. 4B", both the first sentence explanation 412 and the second word explanation 413 are displayed. In addition, the first word interpretation and the second word interpretation may be compared according to the comparison condition. When the coincidence shows the second sentence interpretation, when the first sentence explanation is displayed when the comparison is not met, in the above example, since the two comparisons do not match, only the first sentence interpretation will be displayed.

Please refer to "5A" and "5B", "5A" and "5B" for the purpose of applying the present invention to generate a second sentence explanation and display the source location. As mentioned above, the display module 123 displays the source position of the second phrase interpretation when the second word interpretation and the first sentence searched for interpretation are aligned, and displays the first sentence interpretation when the comparison does not match. Source location. For example, as shown in "5A", assuming that the user types "April showers bring May flowers" as a query term, the translation module 121 translates the query terms to obtain a second sentence interpretation, for example: " The April shower brings the May flower", and the query module 122 transmits the query word to the network database 110 to find the first sentence explanation corresponding to the query word, when the network database 110 does not exist correspondingly. When the first phrase is interpreted, the display module 123 determines that the first sentence interpretation does not match the second sentence interpretation, and therefore displays the second phrase interpretation when the comparison is met, and displays the first sentence when the comparison does not match. In the case of explanation, since the two do not match, the first sentence explanation 412 is displayed as shown in "Fig. 5B", and the source position is displayed as "network database" in the position display block 420.

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is Translating the query words through the client to generate the second sentence interpretation, and simultaneously transmitting the query words to the network database for querying to obtain the first sentence interpretation, and allowing the selection to simultaneously display the first sentence interpretation and the second word interpretation and selection After comparing the interpretation of the first part of sentence with the interpretation of the second part of the sentence, the first part of the sentence explanation or the second part of the sentence is explained according to the comparison result, and the technical problem can be solved by the technical means, thereby achieving the translation of the improved sentence The technical effect of the appropriateness.

While the present invention has been described above in the foregoing embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of patent protection shall be subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached to this specification.
