Abstract

A sentence-based paragraphic online translating system and the method thereof are described. The paragraphic online translating system and the method thereof establish at least one sentence item in the database of a server, wherein each of the sentence items contains a first language article and a correspondingly translated second language article. When the server receives an inquiry sentence from a client, the paragraphic online translating system and the method thereof search for the sentence items within specific categories corresponding to the keywords extracted from the inquiry sentence, and then convert the inquiry sentence into a translated sentence according to the first language article and the second language article of the sentence items. Therefore, the paragraphic online translating system and the method thereof can achieve the effect of enhancing the fluency of online translation.
