Communication support apparatus and computer program product for supporting communication by performing translation between languages

A communication support apparatus comprising:

• an analyzing unit that analyzes of a source language sentence to be translated into a target language, and outputs at least one source language interpretation candidate which is a candidate for interpretation of the source language sentence;
• a translation unit that translates the source language interpretation candidate into a target language, and outputs at least one target language interpretation candidate which is a candidate for the interpretation in the target language;
• a detecting unit that, when there are a plurality of the target language interpretation candidates, detects an ambiguous part which is a different part between the respective candidates in the plurality of target language interpretation candidates;
• and
• a generating unit that generates a target language sentence which is a sentence described in the target language, based on the target language interpretation candidate except the ambiguous part, and outputs at least one target language sentence candidate which is a candidate for the target language sentence.

• outputting at least one source language interpretation candidate which is a candidate for interpretation of the source language sentence;
• when there are a plurality of the source language interpretation candidates, detecting an ambiguous part which is a different part between the respective candidates in the plurality of source language interpretation candidates;
• translating the source language interpretation candidate except the ambiguous part into the target language.
