Abstract
An apparatus for language translation is arranged such that phrases having identical meanings in different languages are stored by category. Following inputs of a phrase, a user selects a language by a language selecting button, observes a translation of the input phrase and selects a response phrase by up/down, left/right scroll buttons. On the basis of this selection, the selected response phrase in the particular language is read out from a storage device, is displayed on a display, and an address number of this phrase is transmitted to a remote plate by making use of a telephone line or the like. A receiver in the remote place outputs a received phrase in a particular language from its storage device on the basis of the received phrase number and the designation of the particular language.
