Abstract

See full text

A language translation system for translating phrases from a first language into a second language comprises a store holding a collection of phrases in the second language. Phrases input in the first language are each characterized on the basis of one or more keywords, and the corresponding phrase in the second language is output. Such a phrasebook approach enables what is effectively rapid and accurate translation, even from speech. Since the phrases in the second language are prepared in advance and held in store, there need be no problems of poor translation or ungrammatical construction. The output may be in text, or, using speech synthesis, in voiced form. With appropriate choice of keywords it is possible to characterize a large number of relatively long and complex phrases with just a few keywords.
