    means for producing translated sentences in a prescribed second language different from said first language, based on the parsing trees produced by said analyzing means in said first language;

    manually operable means for designating an arbitrary first constituent in the sentence in said first language;

    manually operable first selection means for selecting an arbitrary one of a plurality of second constituents of said sentence in the first language, each second constituent including said first constituent,said second constituent being analyzed into a plurality of parsing subtrees by said analyzing means, wherein each parsing subtree represents a different interpretation of said second constituent as a result of an ambiguity present in the translated sentences from the sentence in said first language; and

    manually operable second selection means or selecting an arbitrary one of a plurality of constituents of a translated sentence in said second language produced by said producing means form the plurality of parsing subtrees corresponding to said selected second constituent.
