Interactive foreign language translating method and apparatus

An interactive foreign language machine translation apparatus having a dictionary file in which a first language and a second language are referred to each other, comprising:

• a first memory area for storing a series of questions in the first language;
• output means for outputting the series of questions stored in the first memory area;
• input means, coupled to said output means, for inputting answers made by a user to said series of questions, in the first language;
• a second memory area for storing source sentence information answered by the user;
• and
• means, coupled to said dictionary file said first memory area, said output means, said input means and said second memory area, for parsing the source sentence information stored in the second memory area and retrieving said dictionary file on a basis of results of parsing to make a composition in the second language to be outputted to said output means.
