摘要： An analyzing unit performs a morphological analysis of an input character string that is obtained by processing input speech. A generating unit divides the input character string in units of division previously decided, that is composed of one or plural morphemes, and generates partial character strings including part of components of the divided input character string. A candidate output unit outputs the generated partial character strings to a display unit. A selection receiving unit receives a partial character string selected from the outputted partial character strings as a target to be processed.

摘要： According to one embodiment, an apparatus translates a source sentence of a first language into a target sentence of a second language. The apparatus includes a source sentence transfer unit, a translation unit, and a proposition transfer unit. The source sentence transfer unit is configured to extract a grammatical feature from the source sentence, and to transfer the source sentence to a source proposition not including the grammatical feature. The translation unit is configured to translate the source proposition into a target proposition of the second language. The proposition transfer unit is configured to transfer the target proposition to the target sentence, based on the grammatical feature.
