Abstract

In an electronic translator apparatus, synonymous phrases (title data) and sentences in plural languages are stored in correspondence to each other. These phrases or sentences are read out and translated. This electronic translator apparatus stores the title data as a basic phrase and the explanatory data relating to the title data, thereby allowing a wide range of translation. The title data can be translated into plural languages which are displayed simultaneously. The title data and corresponding sentences are separately stored, thereby increasing the number of sentences that can be translated. The display method is varied depending on the necessity. If the sentence to be translated is long, part of the original sentence during displaying is ommitted and the translated sentence is displayed in whole. When translating into English, an article may be added or a plural form may be expressed so as to translate properly. When translating into Korean, accurate translation corresponding to the presence or absence of PACHIM may be realized.
