Abstract

A machine translation system has a display section, an original storage section for storing an original sentence, a dictionary storing linguistical information necessary for translation processing, a translation processing section for translating the original sentence for each predetermined processing unit to obtain a translated sentence, a translation storage section for storing the translated sentence, an edit processing section for executing edit processing for the original and translated sentences, and an input section for inputting instruction information. In addition, the system has a display control section for realizing a first display mode for displaying the original and translated sentences respectively on original and translation display sections of a display screen of the display section, a second display mode for mainly displaying the original sentences on the display screen, and a third display mode for mainly displaying the translated sentences on the display screen.
