Abstract
A storing unit stores therein dictionary information in which a first text in a first language is associated with a second text that is a translation of the first text into a second language. An extracting unit extracts, when an input text includes an unregistered text that is not registered as the first text in the dictionary information, the unregistered text from the input text. A translating unit translates an input similar text that expresses the unregistered text with a different text, into the second language. A registering unit registers the unregistered text in association with translated similar text on the dictionary information.

A dictionary registration apparatus comprising:
- a first storing unit that stores therein dictionary information in which a first text in a first language is associated with a second text that is a translation of the first text into a second language;
- a first input unit that receives an input text in the first language;
- an extracting unit that extracts, when the input text includes an unregistered text that is not registered as the first text in the dictionary information, the unregistered text from the input text;
- a second input unit that receives a similar text that expresses the unregistered text with a different text;
- a translating unit that translates the similar text into the second language;
- and
- a registering unit that registers the unregistered text in association with the similar text translated into the second language on the dictionary information.
A dictionary registration method comprising:
- first inputting including inputting an input text in a first language;
- extracting, when the input text includes an unregistered text that is not registered as a first text in the first language in dictionary information stored in a first storing unit, in which the first text is associated with a second text that is a translation of the first text into a second language;
- second inputting including inputting a similar text that expresses the unregistered text with a different text;
- translating the similar text into the second language;
- and
- registering the unregistered text in association with the similar text translated into the second language on the dictionary information.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program that causes a computer to execute:
- first inputting including inputting an input text in a first language;
- extracting, when the input text includes an unregistered text that is not registered as a first text in the first language in dictionary information stored in a first storing unit, in which the first text is associated with a second text that is a translation of the first text into a second language;
- second inputting including inputting a similar text that expresses the unregistered text with a different text;
- translating the similar text into the second language;
- and
- registering the unregistered text in association with the similar text translated into the second language on the dictionary information.
