1. A method of translating a first language-based speech signal into a second language, the method comprising:
- receiving the first language-based speech signal;
converting the first language-based speech signal into a first language-based text including non-verbal information, by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal; and
translating the first language-based text into the second language, based on the non-verbal information,wherein the converting of the first language-based speech signal into the first language-based text including the non-verbal information by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal comprises;
acquiring at least one first language-based candidate sequence corresponding to the speech signal;
excluding non-verbal information included in the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence from each of the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence;
acquiring probability information based on a language model, with respect to each of the at least one first language-based candidate sequence excluding the non-verbal information;
determining at least one from among the at least one first language-based candidate sequence to be the first language-based text, based on the acquired probability information; and
adding the excluded non-verbal information to the first language-based text, based on information about a condition for detecting the non-verbal information from the speech signal, andwherein the first language-based text including the non-verbal information is translated into the second language.

1. A method of translating a first language-based speech signal into a second language, the method comprising:
-
receiving the first language-based speech signal; converting the first language-based speech signal into a first language-based text including non-verbal information, by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal; and translating the first language-based text into the second language, based on the non-verbal information, wherein the converting of the first language-based speech signal into the first language-based text including the non-verbal information by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal comprises; acquiring at least one first language-based candidate sequence corresponding to the speech signal; excluding non-verbal information included in the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence from each of the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence; acquiring probability information based on a language model, with respect to each of the at least one first language-based candidate sequence excluding the non-verbal information; determining at least one from among the at least one first language-based candidate sequence to be the first language-based text, based on the acquired probability information; and adding the excluded non-verbal information to the first language-based text, based on information about a condition for detecting the non-verbal information from the speech signal, and wherein the first language-based text including the non-verbal information is translated into the second language. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. An electronic device for translating a first language-based speech signal into a second language, the electronic device comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive the first language-based speech signal; a processor coupled to the receiver and an outputter, and configured to; convert the first language-based speech signal into a first language-based text including non-verbal information, by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal, and translate the first language-based text into the second language, based on the non-verbal information; and the outputter configured to output a result of the translation into the second language, wherein, to convert the first language-based speech signal into a first language-based text including non-verbal information by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal, the processor is further configured to; acquire at least one first language-based candidate sequence corresponding to the speech signal, exclude non-verbal information included in the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence from each of the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence, acquire probability information based on a language model, with respect to each of the at least one first language-based candidate sequence excluding the non-verbal information, determine at least one from among the at least one first language-based candidate sequence to be the first language-based text, based on the acquired probability information, and add the excluded non-verbal information to the first language-based text, based on information about a condition for detecting the non-verbal information from the speech signal, and wherein the first language-based text including the non-verbal information is translated into the second language. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
control to receive a first language-based speech signal; convert the first language-based speech signal into a first language-based text including non-verbal information, by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal; and translate the first language-based text into a second language, based on the non-verbal information, wherein, to convert the first language-based speech signal into a first language-based text including non-verbal information by performing voice recognition on the first language-based speech signal, the program further causes the processor to; acquire at least one first language-based candidate sequence corresponding to the speech signal; exclude non-verbal information included in the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence from each of the acquired at least one first language-based candidate sequence; acquire probability information based on a language model, with respect to each of the at least one first language-based candidate sequence excluding the non-verbal information; determine at least one from among the at least one first language-based candidate sequence to be the first language-based text, based on the acquired probability information; and add the excluded non-verbal information to the first language-based text, based on information about a condition for detecting the non-verbal information from the speech signal, and wherein the first language-based text including the non-verbal information is translated into the second language. - View Dependent Claims (16)
