Terminal equipment, translation method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A translation method by which a computer executes:

• accepting an input of a voice;
• converting voices of joined voice data acquired by joining the voice data of the accepted voice to the voice data of the voice accepted previously into character information of a first language at an interval of predetermined time;
• transmitting first character information of the first language toward another terminal equipment by receiving the first character information of the first language converted by the voice recognition unit;
• commanding a translation unit to translate second character information of a second language into the first language whenever receiving the second character information of the second language from another terminal equipment;
• and
• displaying the second character information of the first language translated by the translation unit together with the second character information of the second language.

A non-transitory computer readable medium stored a translation program compiled to make a computer execute:

• accepting an input of a voice;
• commanding a voice recognition unit to convert voices of joined voice data acquired by joining the voice data of the accepted voice to the voice data of the voice accepted previously into character information of a first language at an interval of predetermined time;
• transmitting first character information of the first language toward another terminal equipment whenever receiving the first character information of the first language converted by the voice recognition unit;
• commanding a translation unit to translate second character information of a second language into the first language whenever receiving the second character information of the second language from another terminal equipment;
• and
• displaying the second character information of the first language translated by the translation unit together with the second character information of the second language.
