Abstract

An automatic multi-lingual recognizing method for distinguishing multi-lingual characters among different codes is disclosed. The method includes determining the code legitimacy of characters of a whole text by comparing code blocks of the characters with predefined code ranges of code systems. Next, if the code legitimacy of the characters is not uniquely recognized, the characters of the whole text is analyzed to determine whether the characters are common phrases by comparing the characters with common-phrase data bases. Finally, if the analysis of the common phrase of the characters is not uniquely recognized, the characters of the text is then analyzed to determine whether the characters are common words by comparing the characters with common-word data bases.
