Abstract

A method of displaying a sentence described in a first language using an information processor includes the steps of input-reception for receiving an input of the sentence described in the first language; separation of separating the input sentence into each constituent word; a determination of determining whether the constituent word is a predetermined specific word; and a display of display the constituent word in a second language in response to the determination that the constituent word is the predetermined specific word.

Claims

1. A computer implementable method of displaying a sentence, the method comprising:

receiving the sentence in a first language;

separating the sentence into a plurality of constituent words;

comparing each of the constituent words in the sentence to a list comprising a plurality of predetermined specific words; and

displaying, in a second language, each constituent word having a corresponding predetermined specific word in the list.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the list comprises a plurality of mistakable words.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising displaying a proposed correction of words corresponding to one of the displayed constituent words.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising editing a constituent word displayed in the second language.

5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising receiving an input from a user to edit a constituent word.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of separating the sentence into a pluraltiy of constituent words comprises a morphological analysis to apply a word class attribute indicating a word class of the word, an unknown word attribute indicating that the word is an unknown word, or a stop word attribute indicating that the word is excluded from the words to be processed as the specific word.

7. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step of comparing includes determining whether the word is mistakable for the words or the word groups listed in a mistakable word dictionary that classifies words on the basis of mistakability.

8. A computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured to:

receive a sentence in a first language;

separate the sentence into a plurality of constituent words;

compare each of the constituent words in the sentence to a list comprising a plurality of predetermined specific words; and

display, in a second language, each constituent word having a corresponding predetermined specific word in the list.

9. The computer-usable medium of claim 8, wherein the list comprises a plurality of mistakable words.

10. The computer-usable medium of claim 8, wherein the embodied computer program code further comprises computer executable instructions configured to display a proposed correction of words corresponding to one of the displayed constituent words.

11. The computer-usable medium of claim 8, wherein the embodied computer program code further comprises computer executable instructions configured to edit a constituent word displayed in the second language.

12. The computer-usable medium of claim 11, wherein the embodied computer program code further comprises computer executable instructions configured to receive an input from a user to edit a constituent word.

13. The computer-usable medium of claim 8, wherein the computer executable instructions configured to separate the sentence into a pluraltiy of constituent words comprises a morphological analysis to apply a word class attribute indicating a word class of the word, an unknown word attribute indicating that the word is an unknown word, or a stop word attribute indicating that the word is excluded from the words to be processed as the specific word.

14. The computer-usable medium of claim 9, wherein the computer executable instructions configured to compare includes determining whether the word is mistakable for the words or the word groups listed in a mistakable word dictionary that classifies words on the basis of mistakability thereof.

15. An information processor for displaying a sentence described in a first language comprising:

an input unit for receiving an input of the sentence described in the first language;

a word separation unit for separating the input sentence into constituent words;

a determination unit for determining whether each of the constituent words is a predetermined specific word; and

a display unit for displaying the constituent word in a second language in response to the determination that the constituent word is the predetermined specific word.

16. The information processor according to claim 15, wherein the specific word is a mistakable word among words or word groups used in the first language.

17. The information processor according to claim 15, wherein the display unit displays a proposed correction of words corresponding to the constituent word.

18. The information processor according to claim 15, further comprising an editing unit for displaying a word in the first language or the second language, the word being associated with the constituent word displayed in the second language.

19. The information processor according to claim 18, wherein the editing unit receives an input from a user to edit the constituent word.
