International Classification:

G06F 17/28

US Classification:

704 4

Abstract:

A process that generates translations and synonyms in a database with multiple dictionaries is disclosed. When translations are required among a plurality of languages, two or more “core” languages are chosen, for which there will be dictionaries with all other languages. A given word or other semantic unit is first translated into a first core language, and the set of possible translations is then translated into the target language, generating a target output set. These steps are repeated using the second core language. Acceptable translations of the word lie in the intersection between the two target output sets. The process reduces the total number of dictionaries needed to completely translate among a given number of languages, and also increases the accuracy of the “indirect” or “intermediate” method of translation between two non-core languages. The process can also be used to generate a list of acceptable synonyms in the same language.
