Japanese-English translation through internal expressions

Abstract

This paper describes an approach to Japanese-English translation through internal expressions which are similar to those used in our recent approach to English-Japanese translation [2]. Attention is focused on construction of the internal expressions of Japanese sentences based on case structures of predicates and also conversion of the Japanese internal expressions to the English ones for generating good English sentences in conventional use. Finally, associated with translation, extraction of specified translated information from Japanese patent claim sentences is described briefly.
