Abstract

In a translation processing method, a document is input; characteristic information is extracted from the input document; a translation style is selected according to the characteristic information; and the input document is translated using the selected translation style.

Claims

1. A translation processing method comprising:

inputting a document;

extracting characteristic information from the input document;

selecting a translation style according to the characteristic information; and

translating the input document using the selected translation style.

2. The translation processing method according to claim 1, wherein information related to the layout structure of the document is included in the characteristic information.

3. The translation processing method according to claim 1,

wherein specific character information is included in the characteristic information.

4. The translation processing method according to claim 1, wherein the translation style is selected using a table defining a correspondence between the translation style and the characteristic information.

5. The translating processing method according to claim 1, wherein the translation style designates a dictionary used in the translating step.

12. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein information related to the layout structure of the document is included in the characteristic information.

13. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein specific character information is included in the characteristic information.

14. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the translation style is selected using a table defining a correspondence between the translation style and the characteristic information.

15. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the translation style designates a dictionary used in the translating process.

6. A document processing device comprising:

an input section that inputs a document;

an extracting section that extracts characteristic information from the input document;

a select section that selects a translation style according to the characteristic information; and

a translation section that translates the input document using the selected translation style.

7. The document processing device according to claim 6, wherein information related to the layout structure of the document is included in the characteristic information.

8. The document processing device according to claim 6, wherein specific character information is included in the characteristic information.

9. The document processing device according to claim 6, wherein the translation style is selected using a table defining a correspondence between the translation style and the characteristic information.

10. The document processing device according to claim 6, wherein the translation style designates a dictionary used in the translation section.

11. A storage medium readable by a computer, the storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for document translation, the function comprising:

inputting a document;

extracting characteristic information from the input document;

selecting a translation style according to the characteristic information; and

translating the input document using the selected translation style.
