Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is directed to the editing of a natural original language in order to convey various information given to a natural original language using an electronic computer (computer). The present invention relates to an original image storage device for storing information and emphasis functions, and particularly to an original image storage device for use by being incorporated into an English-Japanese machine translation device.

[Conventional technology]

The means for storing source text information in conventional machine translation devices is a means for storing source text information on a sentence-by-sentence basis, which corresponds to the source text and associates that information with the translated text. At some point, the original text is searched sequentially for that word.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Although the conventional source image storage means described above exists as a means of showing the correspondence relationship between the original text and the translated text, it is also necessary to store various editing information and emphasis functions in the original text for each sentence within the translation system. Because it is a means to
The drawback is that the image of the original text does not clearly include various editing information and emphasis functions of the original text.

[Means to solve the problem]

The original text image storage device of the present invention is used in a translation device that performs machine translation using a basic dictionary, a private dictionary, grammatical rules, and a knowledge base, and includes a font code storage means for storing font size according to font size, and a stage. An indentation code storage means for storing how many characters are indented as an indentation, a character style storage means for storing Roman font, italic font, or Gothic font for English, and a mark at the beginning and end of a mathematical expression. A mathematical expression processing code storage means for assigning characters in that range to indicate that the characters are mathematical expressions, a line feed code storage means for indicating how many line feed codes are included, an original language transmission code storage means for displaying the original language as it is; and a management means for managing each of the storage means, so that when the original text is translated, the translated text includes editing information of the original text that can transmit information reflected in the original text.

〔Example〕

As described above, the present invention uses an original text image storage device equipped with a storage means for storing various editing information in the original text together with a machine translation system, thereby adding the information to the translated text that is the translation result. This allows information to be reflected.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is an original text image storage device to be incorporated into an English-Japanese machine translation device.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a conventional machine translation device for translating an original text into a translated text, and 2 is a basic dictionary which is the data necessary for this. 3 is a dictionary to supplement the basic dictionary 2, and is a private dictionary that has priority over the basic dictionary. 4 is a grammar rule for processing data. 5
is a knowledge base as linguistic information specific to a commonly given language. 6 indicates the original image storage device of this embodiment.

The original text image storage device 6 has the following storage means and management means for managing each storage means. In other words, the font code storage means 13 stores the size of the font according to the font size, and 8 bits are divided into 1
It is converted into a number as a unit. For example, when the character size is 16 bits, it is written as "¥F". The indent code storage means 14 stores the number of characters to be indented, and describes the number of characters to be indented. For example, when adding increments of 6 characters, "￥T6J
It is described as follows. The character style storage means 15 stores the Roman font, italic font, Gothic font, etc. for English. For example, for the Roman font, "\"
R”. The mathematical formula processing code storage means 18 is for adding marks to the beginning and end of a mathematical formula and indicating that the characters in that range are mathematical formulas, such as "\EQBJ r\EQ".
It is written as Bj. The line feed code storage means 17 indicates how many line feed codes are included. For example, if the line feed code is 3.
If it is a line, write it as [\L3J. The original language transmission code storage means 16 indicates the range with a mark when displaying the original language as it is. For example, rl know the w
It is written as ork 5tation\SB, Sun\SE, J. These management means classify and store character strings of the original languages of these special characters.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of an original text including words in different fonts, as an example of preserving the emphasis function in the original text.

Here, if the word rroyalJ is expressed in Gothic, in the translated sentence rroyalJ
The translation for ``royal'' also indicates that it is expressed in Gothic font. In the English-Japanese machine translation device 1, italic fonts are changed to italic fonts, gothic fonts are changed to gothic fonts,
Roman fonts are expressed in correspondence with Mincho fonts.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of a sentence with information added when the original image storage device 6 of this embodiment is used as an option for the original sentence.

FIG. 4 shows a second translation using the machine translation device 1 when the original text image storage device 6 of this embodiment is used as an option.
FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the result when the original text of the figure is translated and the editing information is reflected.

As described above, by using the original text image storage device 6 together with a machine translation device, the information can be reflected in the translated text that is the translation result. Regarding editing information on words, special character strings that are markers attached to the words themselves are classified as shown on the next page.

It is extremely effective as it shows that it is possible to convey even a small amount of information to the person looking at the translated text.This shows that the translation work is not a dry translation, but one that respects the intention of the original text creator. This is significant considering that the present invention has the effect of bringing us one step closer to realizing a human-like machine translation system.
