Abstract
A document processing apparatus and method extracts, from document data, both a first word, whose translation is to be determined, and a second word that is either the preceding word or the subsequent word of the first word. Then a keyword is extracted based on the frequency of occurrence of the first word and the keyword is translated into a predetermined language by referring to a dictionary in a process that considers a meaning of the first and second words existing together in the document data.
