APPARATUS, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR LANGUAGE TRANSLATION

An interface unit issues input/output instructions regarding an input of a translation target sentence, an output of a translated sentence, and a translation control. A machine translating apparatus translates a document in a certain language into a document in another language. A translation memory device translates a sentence by searching an original/translation database in which sentences in a certain language and original/translation sentences in another language corresponding thereto have been accumulated. A data compatible processing unit makes original/translation information translated by the machine translating apparatus and original/translation information translated by the translation memory device common, thereby enabling them to be fetched mutually as original/translation information.
