1. A translating apparatus, comprising:
- translation target range setting means for setting a range to be translated in an original text;
context process range setting means for setting a context process range in the original text which is at least partially different from the range to be translated; and
translation processing means for translating an original text in the range to be translated into a translated text, based on a context in the context process range.

Abstract
If a context process range extending unit cannot obtain context information required by a context processing unit, from a range to be translated, it extends the context process range. Then, the context processing unit performs a context process, and passes extracted context information to a translation processing unit in order to perform translation, based on the extended context process range.
