Abstract

A computer obtains a word from a word list and searches for position codes corresponding to the obtained word in a file. The computer saves remaining position codes corresponding to the obtained word into the word list. The computer converts the file according to the position codes of each word in the word list between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, in response to a determination that all of the words in the word list have been obtained.

Claims

1. A computer, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a storage system that stores one or more programs, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a translation method, the method comprising;

obtaining a word from a word list stored in a database connected to the computer;

searching for position codes corresponding to the obtained word in a file;

determining if the position codes corresponding to the obtained word overlap with the position codes corresponding to other words, wherein a character length of each other word is longer than the character length of the obtained word;

deleting overlapped position codes from the position codes corresponding to the obtained word, in response to a determination that the position codes corresponding to the obtained word overlaps with the position codes corresponding to other words;

saving remaining position codes corresponding to the obtained word into the word list; and

converting the file between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese according to the position codes of each word in the word list, in response to a determination that all of the words in the word list have been obtained.

2. The computer of claim 1, wherein the word list comprises simplified Chinese words and traditional Chinese words, each simplified Chinese word corresponds to a traditional Chinese word in the word list.

3. The computer of claim 2, wherein the obtained word is a simplified Chinese word in the word list when the file is written in the simplified Chinese, and the obtained word is a traditional Chinese word in the word list when the file is written in the traditional Chinese.

4. The computer of claim 1, wherein the word in the word list is obtained according to the character length of each word.

5. The computer of claim 4, wherein all of the words are obtained in sequence from the longest character length of the word to the shortest character length of the word.

6. The computer of claim 1, wherein the position codes corresponding to the obtained word indicates a position of the obtained word in the file.

7. The computer of claim 1, wherein a search function of the file is invoked to search for the position codes corresponding to the obtained word.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the position codes corresponding to the obtained word indicates a position of the obtained word in the file.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein a search function of the file is invoked to search for the position codes corresponding to the obtained word.

10. A translation method implemented by a computer, the method comprising:

obtaining a word from a word list stored in a database connected to the computer;

searching for position codes corresponding to the obtained word in a file;

determining whether the position codes corresponding to the obtained word overlap with the position codes corresponding to other words, wherein a character length of each other word is longer than the character length of the obtained word;

deleting overlapped position codes from the position codes corresponding to the obtained word, in response to a determination that the position codes corresponding to the obtained word overlaps with the position codes corresponding to other words;

saving remaining position codes corresponding to the obtained word into the word list; and

converting the file between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese according to the position codes of each word in the word list, in response to a determination that all of the words in the word list have been obtained.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the word list comprises simplified Chinese words and traditional Chinese words, each simplified Chinese word corresponds to a traditional Chinese word in the word list.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the obtained word is a simplified Chinese word in the word list when the file is written in the simplified Chinese, and the obtained word is a traditional Chinese word in the word list when the file is written in the traditional Chinese.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the word in the word list is obtained according to the character length of each word.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein all of the words are obtained in sequence from the longest character length of the word to the shortest character length of the word.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform a translation method, the method comprising:

obtaining a word from a word list stored in a database connected to the computer;

searching for position codes corresponding to the obtained word in a file;

determining whether the position codes corresponding to the obtained word overlap with the position codes corresponding to other words, wherein a character length of each other word is longer than the character length of the obtained word;

deleting overlapped position codes from the position codes corresponding to the obtained word, in response to a determination that the position codes corresponding to the obtained word overlaps with the position codes corresponding to other words;

saving remaining position codes corresponding to the obtained word into the word list; and

converting the file between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese according to the position codes of each word in the word list, in response to a determination that all of the words in the word list have been obtained.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the word list comprises simplified Chinese words and traditional Chinese words, each simplified Chinese word corresponds to a traditional Chinese word in the word list.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the obtained word is a simplified Chinese word in the word list when the file is written in the simplified Chinese, and the obtained word is a traditional Chinese word in the word list when the file is written in the traditional Chinese.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the word in the word list is obtained according to the character length of each word.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, wherein all of the words are obtained in sequence from the longest character length of the word to the shortest character length of the word.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the position codes corresponding to the obtained word indicates a position of the obtained word in the file.
