5. A translation requesting method comprising:
-
replacing, in case that a minimal semantic unit phrase having a predetermined property is contained in an original text, the minimal semantic unit phrase with a substitute phrase having a same property as the minimal semantic unit phrase;
storing a translation phrase corresponding to the minimal semantic unit phrase and a translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase replaced with the minimal semantic unit phrase in association with each other in a storing means;
sending the original text which is underwent the replacing process via a communications interface to a translation server having translation functionality; and
replacing, in case that a translation text of the original text which is sent in the sending process is received from the translation server, the translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase in the translation text with the translation phrase corresponding to the minimal semantic unit phrase stored in the storing means.

6. A translation requesting terminal comprising:
-
a communications interface for communicating with a translation server via a network;
a replacement rule base storing in advance a minimal semantic unit phrase having a specific property and a substitute phrase having a same property as the minimal semantic unit phrase in association with each other;
a first replacing means for replacing the minimal semantic unit phrase in an original text with the substitute phrase stored in association with the minimal semantic unit phrase in the replacement rule base;
a translation requesting means for sending the original text, which has been subjected to replacement by the first replacing means, to the translation server via the communications interface;
a replacement table updating means for storing in a replacement table a translation phrase corresponding to the minimal semantic unit phrase and a translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase in association with each other; and
a second replacing means for replacing, in case that a translation text of the original text sent by the translation requesting means is received from the translation server, the translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase in the translation text with the translation phrase corresponding to the minimal semantic unit phrase which is stored in the replacement table in association with the translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A computer readable recording medium recording a program for causing a computer to execute:
-
replacing, in case that a minimal semantic unit phrase having a predetermined property is contained in an original text, the minimal semantic unit phrase with a substitute phrase having a same property as the minimal semantic unit phrase;
storing a translation phrase corresponding to the minimal semantic unit phrase and a translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase replaced with the minimal semantic unit phrase in association with each other in a storing means;
sending the original text which is underwent the replacing process via a communications interface to a translation server having translation functionality; and
replacing, in case that a translation text of the original text which is sent in the sending process is received from the translation server, the translation phrase corresponding to the substitute phrase in the translation text with the translation phrase corresponding to the minimal semantic unit phrase stored in the storing means.
