Abstract

A machine translating computer for implementing a method for facilitating a translation of human language text from a source language to a target language is disclosed. The computer parses the human language text to generate an interlingua. In response to corrective inputs, the computer corrects any inaccuracies of the interlingua. The corrected interlingua can be parsed to generate the human language text in one or more target language forms with the human language text being stored within a computer readable medium whereby the human language text can be retrieved as needed during an execution of a program. The corrected interlingua can also be stored within a computer readable medium for parsing during an execution a program to thereby dynamically generate the human language text in target language form.

Claims

1. A method for facilitating a translation of a human language text from a source language to a target language, said method comprising:

generating an interlingua as a semantic representation of the human language text in source language form; and

correcting any inaccuracies of the interlingua.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the interlingua as corrected within a computer readable medium.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

storing a program requiring the human language text in target language form within the computer readable medium,

wherein the interlingua is stored as a file within the program.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

executing a program requiring the human language text in target language form; and

generating the human language text in target language form from the interlingua as corrected during an execution of the program.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating the human language text in target language form from the interlingua as corrected; and

storing the human language text in target language form in a computer readable medium.

6. A method for generating a human language text in a target language during an execution of a program, said method comprising:

retrieving an interlingua from a computer readable medium during the execution of the program; and

generating the human language text in target language form from the interlingua during the execution of the program.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

storing the human language text in target language from within the computer readable medium.

8. A information handling system for facilitating a translation of a human language text from a source language to a target language, said information handling comprising:

means for generating an interlingua as a semantic representation of the human language text in source language form; and

means for correcting any inaccuracies of the interlingua.

9. The information handling system of claim 8, further comprising:

means for storing the interlingua as corrected within a computer readable medium.

10. The information handling system of claim 9, further comprising:

means for storing a program requiring the human language text in target language form within the computer readable medium.

11. The information handling system of claim 8, further comprising:

means for generating the human language text in target language form from the interlingua as corrected; and

means for storing the human language text in target language form in a computer readable medium.

13. The computer program product of claim 12, further comprising:

computer readable code for generating the human language text in target language form from the interlingua as corrected.

15. The computer program product of claim 14, further comprising:

computer readable code for storing the human language text in target language form.

12. A computer program product in a computer readable medium for facilitating a translation of a human language text from a source language to a target language, said computer program product comprising:

computer readable code for generating an interlingua as a semantic representation of the human language text in source language form; and

computer readable code for correcting any inaccuracies of the interlingua.

14. A computer program product in a computer readable medium for generating a human language text in a target language during an execution of a program, said computer program product comprising:

computer readable code for retrieving an interlingua from the computer readable medium during the execution of the program; and

computer readable code for generating the human language text in target language form from the interlingua during the execution of the program.
