応する訳文を即座に見つけるのは困難であった。[Technical background of the invention and its problems] In recent years, machine translation systems that allow computers to perform translation work between two languages have been attracting attention.0 An original text input to a computer is translated and output by a machine translation system. . ζ
The resulting translations are usually not 100% accurate, and usually contain a few to a few errors. In other words, whether you translate and display it one sentence at a time online, or batch-translate an entire document at once, store it in a file, and display it all at once from the file, human translators must at least once translate the original text. It is necessary to compare the text and the translated text to detect and correct any errors in the text. It's normal. Human translators compare the original text and the translated text for each sentence, so their viewpoint must frequently move up and down or left and right to search for corresponding sentences. However, the length of the original text and the translated text are usually different. Furthermore, one line of the display section does not exactly correspond to a - sentence. Therefore, conventionally, it has been difficult to immediately find a translated text that corresponds to the original text.
［発明の目的］
本発明の目的は、原文と訳文の一文毎の相対位置を同一
にして表示し、原文に対応する訳文を即座に見つける事
のできる表示方式を提供することにある。[Object of the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a display method that displays the original text and the translated text in the same relative position for each sentence, and allows the translation corresponding to the original text to be immediately found.
〔発明の概要］

位置が同一になる様にしたものである。[Summary of the Invention] When displaying a given original sentence and a translated sentence on a display section, the present invention calculates the respective display lengths on the display section, and calculates the display length of the shorter sentence based on the character spacing. Alternatively, the length between words can be increased to match the display length of the longer sentence, so that the relative positions on the display section are the same.
〔発明の効果］
本発明によれば、翻訳者は原文と訳文とを容易に対比す

率が著しく向上し、又翻訳者の疲労を軽減する効果が大
である。[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, since the translator can easily compare the original text and the translated text, the efficiency of correcting mistakes by machine translation is significantly improved, and the translator's fatigue is reduced. It is very effective.
［発明の実施例］
以下、本発明の一実施例について図面を参照して説明す

訳文バッファ（４）に記憶される。FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of this embodiment. (1) is an input control unit for inputting the original text in the first language, and is composed of a keyboard and the like. The original text output from this input control section (1) is stored in an original text buffer (2). (3)
The translation control unit inputs the original text from the original text buffer (2), translates it into the second language, and outputs the translated text. The translated text is stored in a translated text buffer (4).
バッファ（２）及び（４）に記憶された原文と訳文の両

る。Both the original text and the translated text stored in the buffers (2) and (4) are guided to the display section (6) via the display control section (5).
表示部（６）は第１国語の原文と対応する第２国語の訳
文を同時に表示するものでＣＲＴ等で実現される。The display section (6) simultaneously displays the original text in the first language and the corresponding translated text in the second language, and is realized by a CRT or the like.
次に本実施例の動作について説明する。第２図は第１図
における表示制御部（５）の動作の流れをボすフロー図
である。Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation flow of the display control section (5) in FIG. 1.
先ず、表示制御部（５）は表示部（６）の表示画面に於

文の占有点数はｋｊ点である。First, the display control unit (5) sets the original text display reference position SDP on the display screen of the display unit (6) to, for example, the value of the dot position in the upper left corner of the display screen (=0), and then The value of the dot position (2BIAS) at the middle left corner of the display screen is set as the translation display reference position TDP. Next, the display control unit (5) reads one sentence each from the original text buffer (2) and the translated text buffer (4). Assuming that the number of characters in the original text is m, and the width that each character occupies on the dot display screen of the display section is n points, then the dotted points that one sentence occupies are nm. Similarly, if the number of characters in the translation is 1, and the number of points occupied by 1 character is given as a point, then 1
The number of points occupied by the sentence is kj points.

する。1) nm)kjb, that is, when the original text is longer than the translated text)
This is the space between characters in the translated text. ([]Nigauss symbol) II) kj) nm, that is, when the translated text is longer than the original text [
kj −nm] point is defined as the character spacing and is the blank space between characters in the original text.

終文字位置の次のドツト位置の値をセットし、そこから
次の文の表示を行なえばよい。l1l) When nm = kj, the display lengths of the original text and the translated text in the display section are the same, so they are displayed as they are.0 In this way, the difference in length between the original text and the translated text is within one character. Also, the value of the dot position next to the final character position of the longer character is set as the display reference position of the next sentence, and the next sentence can be displayed from there.
以上述べたように本実施例に依れば、従来第３図（ａ）
のように原文と訳文の長さが異なって表示されていたの
に対し、第３図（ｂ）のように原文と訳文がほぼ同一の
長さで表示されるので画文を比較しやすくなる。As described above, according to this embodiment, conventional
Whereas the original and translated sentences were displayed with different lengths, as shown in Figure 3 (b), the original and translated sentences are displayed with almost the same length, making it easier to compare the images. .
尚、原文と訳文の表示長を同一にする方法は、上記実施
例に限るものではない。実施例では、原文・訳文ともに
字間長を調整することによって一文の表示長をほぼ同一
にしているが、英語・独語などの様に語間に空白を入れ

よい。又、字間長・語間長の両方を調整することも可能
である。Note that the method of making the display lengths of the original text and translated text the same is not limited to the above embodiment. In the example, the display length of one sentence is made almost the same by adjusting the character spacing in both the original and translated sentences, but in languages such as English and German that have spaces between words, the length of this space, That is, the interword length may be adjusted. It is also possible to adjust both the character spacing length and the word spacing length.
更に表示方法は実施例では原文・訳文を上下に並べであ
るが、左右に並べてもよく、交互に表示してもよい。Further, although the original text and translated text are displayed vertically in the embodiment, they may be displayed horizontally or alternately.
