Communication support apparatus and computer program product for supporting communication by performing translation between languages
First Claim
1. A communication supporting apparatus, comprising:
- a supplemental example storing unit that stores a source language interpretation which is an interpretation of a semantic content of a source language sentence to be translated, and a supplemental example sentence which is an example of a sentence for supporting the semantic content, in association with each other;
an input accepting unit that accepts the source language sentence input by a user;
an analyzing unit that analyzes the semantic content of the source language sentence and outputs the source language interpretation;
a search unit that searches for the supplemental example sentence associated with the source language interpretation from the supplemental example storing unit; and
a translation unit that translates the source language sentence and the supplemental example sentence into a target language.

12. A communication support method, comprising:
-
accepting a source language sentence input by a user;
analyzing a semantic content of a source language sentence to be translated;
outputting a source language interpretation as an interpretation of the semantic content of the source language sentence;
searching for a supplemental example sentence associated with the source language interpretation, from a supplemental example storing unit that stores the source language interpretation and the supplemental example sentence which is an example of a sentence for supporting the semantic content in association with each other; and
translating the source language sentence and the supplemental example sentence into a target language.

13. A computer program product having a computer readable medium including programmed instructions for performing a communication support processing, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
-
accepting a source language sentence input by a user;
analyzing a semantic content of a source language sentence to be translated;
outputting a source language interpretation as an interpretation of the semantic content of the source language sentence;
searching for a supplemental example sentence associated with the source language interpretation, from a supplemental example storing unit that stores the source language interpretation and the supplemental example sentence which is an example of a sentence for supporting the semantic content in association with each other; and
translating the source language sentence and the supplemental example sentence into a target language.
