Abstract
A translation device includes an input unit configured to receive an input sentence in an original language, a controller configured to generate a first translation sentence obtained by translation of the input sentence into a first language, and a display. The controller generates a second translation sentence obtained by translation of the input sentence into a second language different from the first language, a first reverse translation sentence obtained by reverse translation of the first translation sentence into the original language, and a second reverse translation sentence obtained by reverse translation of the second translation sentence into the original language. The controller calculates first similarity as similarity between the first reverse translation sentence and the input sentence, and determines, in accordance with the first similarity, whether to display the first translation sentence on the display or to generate a third translation sentence obtained by translation of the second reverse translation sentence into the first language.
