Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention supports reuse of program specifications and maintenance work, that is, CASE (Compu
ter Aided Software Engine
ering) suitable technology for re-engineering, especially when Japanese names of data items in specifications such as program specifications, which is the work process of re-engineering,
The present invention relates to a data item name Japanese localization interactive correction editor capable of localizing a data item name that cannot be converted by an automatic Japanese language function by interactive processing, and a data item Japanese language localization apparatus including the editor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 10, reengineering in CASE supports decoding, remodeling, etc. of program specifications in order to reuse, maintain, and reconstruct the program specifications described in the source language or the like. This is a technology, and one of the purposes is to improve the comprehensibility, so that the data item names written in alphabets etc. appearing in the program specifications are converted into their specific Japanese terms. Is done.

That is, in a certain program specification, B
If the data item name "B" actually means the quantity of something, it is possible to improve the readability by replacing the data item name "BB" in the program specifications with the Japanese term "quantity". Is.

As an automatic device for Japaneseizing such data item names, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, for converting the data item names used in the target program specification 100 into Japanese terms. Japanese information (information indicating the correspondence between the data item name and the Japanese term to be replaced) 200, and some term assets 400, 401.
(Each is an independent asset, and each has a correspondence relationship between a data item name and a Japanese term to be replaced with it). The automatic Japaneseizing means 300 prepares the program specification 100. It is conceivable that the contents are sequentially read, and if a data item name appears, it is replaced with a term in the Japanese-language information 200 having the same data item name as the data item name.

[0005]

However, in such an automatic Japanese-language apparatus, since different terms are defined for the same data item name between the term assets 400 and 401, the Japanese-language information 200 If multiple Japanese terms for the same data item name are stored in the program specification 100, which term should be used?
There is a problem to be solved in that data item names that are not translated into Japanese remain, because only the program specifications that are not translated into Japanese can actually be obtained, because it cannot be determined without understanding the context of.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and its first object is to provide data in specifications such as program specifications that cannot be completely translated into Japanese by a function that automatically translates into Japanese. An object of the present invention is to provide an interactive correction editor for Japanese localization of data item names, which can interactively modify items and complete Japanese localization.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a data item name Japaneseizing device having such an interactive correction editor for Japaneseizing data item names.

[0008]

In order to achieve the first object, the interactive correction editor for Japaneseizing data item names of the present invention is a conversion for storing specifications such as program specifications including data item names. Includes a post-file and, for each non-Japaneseized data item name in the specifications stored in the post-conversion file, a data item name and a plurality of terms that are candidates for use in Japaneseizing the data item name An item information file that stores unconverted data item information, a display device, an input device,
Specification content display means for displaying the content of the specifications stored in the converted file on the display device, and item information display means for displaying the unconverted data item information stored in the item information file on the display device, After the conversion, by selecting the data item name that is not translated into Japanese in the unconverted data item information displayed on the display device and the term to be used for the translation into Japanese by the operation from the input device. Modifying means for modifying the selected data item name in the specification of the file with the selected term.

Further, in order to achieve the above-mentioned second object, the data item name Japaneseizing apparatus of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned editor, further stores a specification such as a program specification including a data item name. Japanese that stores the localization information that indicates the correspondence between the data item name and the Japanese term used for the localization of the previous file and the data item name that appears in the specifications stored in the pre-conversion file For each data item name that appears in the specification information file and the specifications stored in the pre-conversion file, the Japanese information file is searched using the data item name as a key, and there is only one candidate term. Then, by performing the Japaneseization process with that term, a post-conversion file in which the data item names in the specifications of the pre-conversion file are Japaneseized is generated, and there are multiple candidate terms. For data item names that have not been translated into Japanese due to circumstances, output unconverted data item information that includes the data item name and multiple terms that were candidates for use in Japaneseizing it to the item information file. It is equipped with automatic Japanese language conversion means.

Further, in order to enable the user to confirm the data item name which has been Japaneseized by the automatic Japaneseizing means and the term used for the Japaneseizing the automatic Japaneseizing means, The converted data item information including the data item name and the term used when Japaneseizing the data item is output to the item information file for each wordized data item name, and the item information display means is configured to The converted data item information stored in the information file is displayed on the display device.

[0011]

In the present invention, the pre-conversion file holds specifications such as program specifications including data item names, and
The Japaneseization information file holds the Japaneseization information indicating the correspondence between the data item name and the Japanese term used for Japaneseization of the data item name that appears in the specifications stored in the file before conversion. First, the automatic Japaneseizing means searches the Japaneseized information file by using the data item name as a key for each data item name appearing in the specification stored in the pre-conversion file, and selects a candidate term. If only one exists, it is converted to Japanese with that term to generate a post-conversion file in which the data item names in the specifications of the pre-conversion file are converted to Japanese, and become a candidate. For data item names that have not been translated into Japanese due to the existence of multiple terms, refer to the unconverted data item information that includes the data item name and the multiple terms that were candidates for use in localizing it. And outputs it to the information file.

After that, when interactively correcting the Japaneseization of the data item name, the specification content display means of the interactive correction editor displays the content of the specifications that have been subjected to the automatic Japaneseization processing by the automatic Japaneseization means. The item information display means displays the unconverted data item information stored in the item information file on the display device, and the correcting means displays the Japanese in the unconverted data item information displayed on the display device. If the user selects an untranslated data item name and a term to be used for its Japaneseization from the input device,
Modify the selected data item name in the specification of the converted file with the selected term.

By doing so, it is a means for correcting all the selected data item names in the specifications of the specification storage unit 120 with the selected terms.

FIG. 7 shows a flow chart of an example of the process of the interactive correction editor 1, and FIGS. 8 and 9 show examples of screen contents of the display device 7, respectively.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, the Japaneseization processing by the automatic Japaneseization means 4 will be described.

When activated, the automatic Japaneseizing means 4 starts the processing shown in FIG.

First, a character string of one unit is input from the beginning of the program specification 20 of the pre-conversion file 2 (S1), and if it is confirmed that it is not completed (S2), whether the character string input this time is a data item name or not. Is determined (S3). Where 1
The unit character string is a character string that is a basic unit in the syntax of the specification, such as a constant, an operator, and a data item name.

A character string that is not a data item name is output as it is to the file 3 after conversion (S4), and the process returns to step S1 to process the next character string.

If it is a data item name, the Japaneseized information 50 in the Japaneseized information file 5 is searched by using the data item name as a key, and all the term candidates associated with the data item name are acquired. (S5), and it is determined whether or not there is one candidate for the acquired term (S6).

When there is only one candidate, instead of the data item name input this time, the term of the candidate is output to the converted file 3 (S7), and the data item name processed this time and the candidate adopted this time are included in Japan. The converted data item information composed of the wording information is output to the item information file 6 (S8).
Then, returning to step S1, the next character string is processed.

When there are a plurality of candidates, the data item input this time is directly output to the converted file 3 (S9),
The unconverted data item information including the data item name processed this time and the information of each retrieved candidate is output to the item information file 6 (S10). Then, returning to step S1, the next character string is processed.

When it is determined in step S2 that all the character strings of the program specification 20 of the pre-conversion file 2 have been processed, the automatic Japanese language processing ends.

By the above-described operations being performed by the automatic Japaneseizing means 4, for example, when the data item name BB shown in FIG. 2 is processed, the term asset 52 in the Japaneseized information 50 of FIG. 3 is processed. Assuming that only the term “quantity” corresponding to BB in “1” is acquired as a candidate, the data item name BB is replaced with the term “quantity”. On the other hand, in the case of the data item name AA, in the case of the Japaneseized information 50 of FIG. 3, there are two candidates of the term “specification” and the term “unit price”, and therefore, they are not localized into Japanese.

As a result, in the program specification 30 of the converted file 3, the data item name BB is converted into the term "quantity" as shown in FIG. 5, but the data item name AA is left as it is.

Further, in the item information file 6, as shown in FIG. 6, the data item name AA is an unconverted data item, and terms are "details" and definition name A by the definition name A1.
The unconverted data item information 610 indicating that there are two "unit prices" according to 2 and the fact that the data item name BB is a converted data item and the term "quantity" according to the definition name A2 is adopted. The converted data item information 620 shown is output.

Next, the Japaneseization processing by the dialog correction editor 1 will be described.

When activated by operating the keyboard 8, the dialog correction editor 1 starts the processing shown in FIG.

First, the specification reading / updating means 10 reads the program specification 30 from the converted file 3 and stores it in the specification storing section 120 of the memory 12 (S21). Since the specification content display means 13 displays the content stored in the specification storage unit 120 on the display device 7, the content of the program specification 30 is displayed on the display device 7 at this point (S2).
1).

Next, the item information acquisition means 11 reads the converted data item information in the item information 60 of the item information file 6 and converts the converted data item information storage unit 1 in the memory 12.
22 (S22), then the unconverted data item information in the item information 60 is read and stored in the unconverted data item information storage unit 121 (S22). Item information display means 1
4 displays the contents stored in the storage units 121 and 122 on the display device 7, so that the contents of the item information 60 are displayed on the display device 7 at these times (S22, S2).
3). After that, the dialog correction editor 1 waits for key input (S24).

Therefore, assuming that the program specification 30 is as shown in FIG. 5 and the item information 60 is as shown in FIG. 6, the display device 7 displays the contents as shown in FIG. Will wait for the key operation from the person.

Next, the user recognizes the data item name which has not been translated into Japanese by the automatic Japaneseizing means 4 by the unconverted data item displayed on the display device 7, and the plurality of candidates displayed simultaneously are recognized. When one of the terms to be adopted is judged by itself and the data item name to be modified and one term used for it are selected by operating the keyboard 8, the modifying means 15 selects the data item name and the candidate term. Is recognized (S25), and the selected data item name in the specification storage unit 120 is corrected to the selected term (S2).
6). Then, a corrected mark is added to the corrected data item name in the unconverted data item information storage unit 121, and a mark is also added to the adopted term (S2).
7).

Therefore, for example, in the screen contents shown in FIG. 8, the user selects the unconverted data item AA and the definition name A, for example.
When the term “details” according to 1 is selected to instruct execution of the correction, the correction unit 15 corrects the data item name AA in the specification storage unit 120 to the term “details”, and the specification storage unit 12
A corrected mark is added to the unconverted data item AA in 1 and a mark indicating that the term “specification” is adopted is added.

Since the specification content display means 13 and the item information display means 14 display the contents of the respective storage sections 120 to 122 on the display device 7, the above-described corrections are performed, so that the display device 7 is displayed. The screen changes as shown in FIGS. As a result, the user can confirm the correction contents of the data item name.

On the screen of the display device 7, the specification display portion and the item information display portion can be scrolled or the like, and when such an operation is performed by the keyboard 8. Corresponding processing is performed in step S30 of FIG.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the converted data item and the term in the Japaneseized information used for the converted data item are displayed on the screen of the display device 7 by the automatic Japaneseizing means 4. It is also possible to easily confirm whether the Japanese language intended by the user has been performed.

As described above, the data item names are interactively translated into Japanese, all the unconverted data items are translated into Japanese, and the end key of the keyboard 8 is operated. This results in step S28 in FIG. Then, the specification reading / updating means 10 outputs the contents (excluding the mark) of the specification storing section 120 as the program specification 90 to the corrected file 9 (S29), and the processing of the dialogue correction editor 1 is completed.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various other additions and changes can be made. For example, as the specifications to be translated into Japanese, in addition to the program specifications, it is possible to target the parts specifications describing the specifications of the parts.

[0052]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

The data item in the specification such as the program specification that cannot be translated into Japanese by the automatic Japaneseizing means can be interactively translated into Japanese, and the translation into Japanese can be efficiently completed.

Since the data item name Japaneseized by the automatic Japaneseizing means and the Japaneseized information used for the data item name can be confirmed, the automatic Japaneseizing means performs the Japaneseization intended by the user. You can also check at the same time.
