TRANSLATION DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A translation device comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform a procedure, the procedure including;
generating a plurality of original text candidates by applying each of a plurality of predetermined different pre-editing rules, or rule combinations that are combinations of the pre-editing rules, to an original text expressed in a first language;
translating each of the plurality of original text candidates into respective translated text candidates expressed in a second language different from the first language, and translating each of the translated text candidates into a respective reverse translated text expressed in the first language; and
generating a concept structure expressing a semantic structure of each of the original text candidates and each of the reverse translation texts, and selecting a translated text candidate that corresponds to the original text candidate whose degree of similarity between the concept structure of the original text candidate and the concept structure of the reverse translated text corresponding to the original text candidate is a specific value or greater.

Abstract
A translation device includes a processor that executes a procedure. The procedure includes: generating plural original text candidates by applying each of plural predetermined different pre-editing rules or rule combinations to an original text expressed in a first language; translating each of the plural original text candidates into respective translated text candidates expressed in a second language, and translating each of the translated text candidates into a respective reverse translated text expressed in the first language; and generating a concept structure expressing a semantic structure of each of the original text candidates and each of the reverse translation texts, and selecting a translated text candidate that corresponds to the original text candidate whose degree of similarity between the concept structure of the original text candidate and the concept structure of the reverse translated text corresponding to the original text candidate is a specific value or greater.

7. A translation method that causes a computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:
-
generating a plurality of original text candidates by applying each of a plurality of predetermined different pre-editing rules or rule combinations that are combinations of the pre-editing rules to an original text expressed in a first language; translating each of the plurality of original text candidates into respective translated text candidates expressed in a second language different from the first language, and translating each of the translated text candidates into a respective reverse translated text expressed in the first language; and generating a concept structure expressing a semantic structure of each of the original text candidates and each of the reverse translation texts, and selecting a translated text candidate with the greatest degree of similarity between the concept structure of the original text candidate and the concept structure of the reverse translated text corresponding to the original text candidate as a default translation. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a translation process, the process comprising:
-
generating a plurality of original text candidates by applying each of a plurality of predetermined different pre-editing rules or rule combinations that are combinations of the pre-editing rules to an original text expressed in a first language; translating each of the plurality of original text candidates into respective translated text candidates expressed in a second language different from the first language, and translating each of the translated text candidates into a respective reverse translated text expressed in the first language; and generating a concept structure expressing a semantic structure of each of the original text candidates and each of the reverse translation texts, and selecting a translated text candidate with the greatest degree of similarity between the concept structure of the original text candidate and the concept structure of the reverse translated text corresponding to the original text candidate as a default translation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
