When maintaining and printing word information, the word information in the source language dictionary is expanded to the source language work file, and the word information of the corresponding bilingual words in the bilingual dictionary is expanded. It is configured to include a work file expansion processing unit that performs processing to expand into a prepared bilingual work file, and
This work file [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a machine translation processing device that executes translation processing by referring to word information in a source language dictionary and a bilingual dictionary.
In particular, the present invention relates to a machine translation processing device that can efficiently perform word information maintenance processing and printing processing.

The machine translation processing device is equipped with a source language dictionary that manages conceptual symbols of source language word information and a bilingual language dictionary that manages conceptual symbols of bilingual word information. By replacing the word information with the word information,
Processing is performed to translate a sentence written in the original language into a sentence written in the bilingual language. During this translation process, if something happens that does not translate properly, maintenance processes such as manipulating the word information in the original language dictionary and bilingual dictionary, and word information in the original language dictionary and bilingual dictionary are necessary. Print processing will be executed to print out some or all of the information. From now on, it is necessary to take measures to ensure that maintenance processing and printing processing of this word information are executed efficiently.

[Conventional technology]

When maintaining word information in the original language dictionary or bilingual dictionary, the machine translation processing device first selects the notation of the word information to be maintained from the list of word information in the source language dictionary using a mouse, etc. By pointing this point, the editing screen for maintenance processing is read out and operations on the word information are executed.When it is necessary to operate on the word information in the bilingual dictionary, the edited screen is displayed on this read out editing screen. By searching the bilingual dictionary according to the conceptual symbol of the word information, the editing screen for the word information of the bilingual word that is the subject of maintenance processing is read out and operations on the word information are executed.

During maintenance processing of such word information, conventionally,
A configuration in which word information of the original language and word information of the bilingual language in a translation relationship are displayed in association with each other has not been adopted.

Conventionally, when printing word information from the original language dictionary or the bilingual dictionary, the word information from the original language dictionary is first printed, and then the word information from the bilingual dictionary is printed. The configuration is such that the word information is printed in order according to the dictionary unit, and the configuration is not adopted in which word information in a translation relationship is printed in association with each other.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with such conventional technology, when the user is performing maintenance processing or printing processing of word information in the original language dictionary, the user is not aware of what word information has been translated into, and There has been a problem in that when performing maintenance processing or printing processing for word information in a bilingual dictionary, it is not possible to be aware of what source the word information has been translated from. Therefore, the conventional technology has a problem in that word information maintenance processing and printing processing cannot be efficiently executed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a machine translation processing device that can efficiently perform word information maintenance processing and printing processing.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle configuration of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a main body of a machine translation processing device equipped with the present invention, 2
is a man-machine interface, 3 is a printer, 4 is an original language dictionary stored in a storage device, which manages word information described in the original language of a specific language together with its conceptual symbols, 5 is stored in a storage device 10 is an input/output control unit, which is a man-machine interface 2;
11 is a work file for the original language, in which words in the original language dictionary 4 are executed. 12 is a work file for bilingual words that expands a part of the information,
13 is a work file expansion processing unit that expands a part of the word information of the bilingual dictionary 5, and 13 is a work file expansion processing unit that uses the word information of the original language dictionary 4 related to translation and the bilingual words during maintenance processing or printing processing of word information. 14 is a word information display processing unit which expands the word information of the dictionary 5 into a source language work file 11 and a parallel language work file 12, respectively; 15 is a word information printing processing unit that simultaneously displays information on an editing screen for maintenance processing in a format that makes the translation relationship clear; Word information is simultaneously printed on the same printing paper in a format that makes the translation relationships clear.

[Operation] In the present invention, when there is a request for maintenance processing of word information from the user via the input/output control section 10, the work file expansion processing section 13, when the maintenance processing target is word information of the source language dictionary 4, When reading the word information to be subjected to maintenance processing from the source language dictionary 4 and developing it into the source language work file 11,
Word information in the bilingual dictionary 5 that has the same conceptual symbol is developed into the bilingual word work file 12, and when the maintenance processing target is word information in the bilingual dictionary 5, the word information to be maintained is converted into the bilingual word information. When reading from the dictionary 5 and expanding into the bilingual work file 12, word information in the original language dictionary 4 having the same conceptual symbol is expanded into the original language work file 11. Then, the word information display processing unit 14 processes the word information expanded into the two work files to simultaneously display it on the editing screen of the man-machine interface 20 in a format that makes the translation relationship clear. From now on, when maintaining word information, users will be able to be aware of what the word information being maintained has been translated into, and also be aware of what source it has been translated from. It becomes like this.

Further, in the present invention, when a print processing request is received from a user via the input/output control section 10, the word information print processing section 15 prints the word information expanded into two work files according to the same process to the printer 3. Processing is performed so that they are printed simultaneously on the same printing paper according to a format that makes the translation relationship clear.

From now on, the word information in the original language dictionary 4 and the bilingual language dictionary 5 can be printed at the same time while maintaining translation-related correspondence.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail according to examples.

FIG. 2 shows the data structure of the original language dictionary 4 and bilingual language dictionary 5 shown in FIG. 1. Here, FIG. 2(a) shows the data structure of the original language dictionary 4 that manages Japanese word information.
FIG. 2(b) shows the data structure of the bilingual dictionary 5 that manages English word information. As shown in this figure, the original language dictionary 4 used by the machine translation processing device according to the present invention
The bilingual dictionary 5 is the same as the original language dictionary and bilingual dictionary used by the conventional machine translation processing device, and manages the "notation", "conceptual symbol", and r attribute information of words. . Here, the "conceptual symbol" manages the meaning information that a word has, and for words having the same meaning, the same conceptual symbol is managed in the original language dictionary 4 and the bilingual language dictionary 5.

Furthermore, "attribute information" manages information such as word part-of-speech information, dictionary type information, and whether or not the word is a user's registered word.

Next, the processing contents of the present invention to be executed during word information maintenance processing will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

During word information maintenance processing, the CPU of the machine translation processing device first creates the original language work file 11 explained in FIG. 1 in step 30, and then, in step 31,
One piece of word information targeted for maintenance processing is read from the original language dictionary 4 and written into the created original language work file 11. Then, in the following step 32, it is determined whether all the writing process of the word information of the original language targeted for the maintenance process has been completed. Based on the judgment in step 32,
If it is determined that writing of the word information of the original language has not been completed yet, the process returns to step 31. In this way, when the writing process of the word information of the original language targeted for maintenance processing is completed, the work file 11 for the original language
will be completed.

When the original language work file 11 is completed, the process proceeds to step 33 to create the bilingual language work file 12 explained in FIG. At the same time, in the following step 35, it is determined whether or not all the word information of the original language has been read from the original language work file 11. If it is determined in this step 35 that the successive processing of word information of all the original languages has not been completed yet, the process proceeds to step 36, and the bilingual translation having the same conceptual symbol as the word information read in the processing of step 34 is performed. Write the word information of the word into the bilingual word work file 12, step 34
Process to return to .

In this way, the bilingual word information for the original language work file 11 is written into the bilingual work file 12, thereby completing the bilingual work file 12.

When the bilingual language work file 12 is completed, the process proceeds to step 37, where a window is opened on the editing screen for maintenance processing that is being displayed, and the work file 11 for the original language and the bilingual language work file 12 are expanded. The translated word information is simultaneously displayed in the window so that the translation relationship becomes clear.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the display of word information displayed on this editing screen.According to the present invention, when maintenance processing is performed, the target of maintenance processing is displayed on the editing screen for maintenance processing. Since the translation relationship of the word information is displayed, the user will be able to be aware of what kind of word information is being translated into This allows you to be aware of whether the word is being translated from the source, and therefore allows you to efficiently maintain word information. FIG. 5 diagrammatically shows the contents of the display processing described above.

Next, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, the processing contents of the present invention that will be executed during the printing process of word information will be explained.

When printing word information, the CPU of the machine translation processing device first prints the source language work file 1 in step 60.
1 is created, and then, in step 61, word information (for example, ascending order,
In step 62, all the original language word information to be printed is read out and written to the created source language work file 11. Determine whether or not the loading process has been completed. If it is determined in step 62 that writing of word information in the original language has not been completed yet, the process returns to step 61 to complete the original language work file 11.

When the source language work file 11 is completed, the process advances to step 63 to read out one source language word information from the completed source language work file 11, and in the subsequent step 64, all source language words are read from the source language work file 11. Determine whether the information has been read. If it is determined in this step 64 that the successive processing of word information of all the original languages has not been completed yet, the process proceeds to step 65 to create the bilingual word work file 12 and proceed to the next step 6.
In step 6, the word information of the bilingual words having the same conceptual symbol as the word information read in the process of step 63 is written into the bilingual word work file 12. Then, in the subsequent step 67, it is determined whether the writing process of word information for all the bilingual words having the same conceptual symbol has been completed, and when it is determined that the writing process has not been completed, the process returns to step 66. Step 6
The bilingual word work file 12 corresponding to the word information of the original language read out in the process of step 3 is completed.

Then, in the next step 6 days, the word information of the original language read in the process of step 63 and the word information of the bilingual words (all of them if there are many) of the completed bilingual word work file 12 are printed out at the same time. Then, in the subsequent step 69, the bilingual language work file 12 is deleted and the process returns to step 63. Here, unlike the display on the display screen, deleting the bilingual work file 12 is as follows: -
This is because once it is printed, there is no need to save it. In this way, when it is determined in step 64 that the printing process of word information in all the original languages that is the target of printing process has been completed, step 70 Then, the original language work file 11 is deleted and the process is terminated.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a printout of printed word information. As described above, according to the present invention, word information in the original language and word information in the bilingual language are simultaneously printed out in a format that makes the translation relationship clear during printing processing. This makes it possible to print word information much more efficiently. FIG. 8 diagrammatically shows the contents of the printing process described above.

Although the illustrated embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, word information displayed on the editing screen may be processed to display multiple words having the same conceptual symbol in the same manner as in printing processing. Information may be displayed simultaneously.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when performing maintenance processing on word information, the user can be aware of what kind of word information being maintained has been translated into, and also be able to understand what kind of word information has been translated from. By becoming aware of what is currently being used, maintenance processing of word information can be carried out more efficiently. According to the present invention, the word information in the provided dictionary is printed at once while taking translation-related correspondences, so that the printing process of word information can be executed efficiently.
