Abstract
This invention discloses a computer translation method and system for resoving word ambiguity. During translating a text in a first language, checking whether or not the word to be translated or the sentence containing the word has additional related text that is associated by a linkage. When the meaning of the word can not be uniquely determined in a second language by analyzing the context than the related text is obtained according to the linkage and the word is translated using both the immediate text and the related text. The linkage mechanism is described as a hyperlink in a HTML document.
