Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize the selection of a desired translation form with designation of a user by deciding the type of a translation unit after extracting the part of the translation unit out of an original storage part via a sentence extracting part so that the form of the translation result is decided and at the same time this form is changed in response to the key operations. CONSTITUTION:A sentence extracting part 6 extracts the parts of translation units out of an original Japanese sentence stored in an original sentence storage part 2 via an input part 1. At the same time, the types of the translation units are decided. In case the type of the translation unit is decided with a title, etc., an editing control part 4 points the form of the corresponding translation result. While a translation part 5 delivers a translated English sentence in capitals only and stores this sentence in a translated sentence storage part 3 via a buffer, etc., while displaying the original sentence and its translated equivalent sentence at a display part 8. The form of the translated sentence is changed by the operation of a prescribed key of the part 1. Thus only the first character of a title is shown in a capital, for example, in a translated sentence. In such a way, a desired form of translation is secured in response to the designation of a user.
