Mechanical translation apparatus and method

An automated translation method, comprising:

• dividing, with a grammatical processor, an original sentence into a plurality of first grammatical components according to a first division rule executed by the grammatical processor;
• dividing, with the grammatical processor, each of the first grammatical components into a plurality of second grammatical components according to a second division rule executed by the grammatical processor;
• dividing, with the grammatical processor, each of the second grammatical components into a plurality of third grammatical components according to a third division rule executed by the grammatical processor;
• translating each of the third grammatical components into grammatical components of another language;
• combining the translated grammatical components into a translated sentence;
• and
• displaying the original sentence and the translated sentence in vertical juxtaposition.

An automated translation method, comprising:

• dividing, with a grammatical processor, an original sentence into a plurality of first grammatical components according to a first division rule executed by the grammatical processor;
• dividing, with the grammatical processor, each of the first grammatical components having more than a prescribed number of words into a plurality of second grammatical components according to a second division rule executed by the grammatical processors;
• translating each of the second grammatical components into grammatical components of another language;
• translating each of the first grammatical components, which were not divided into second grammatical components, into grammatical components of another language;
• combining the translated grammatical components into a translated sentence;
• and
• displaying the original sentence and the translated sentence in vertical juxtaposition.

An automated translation method, comprising:

• (a) dividing, with a grammatical processor, an original sentence into a plurality of first grammatical components according to a first division rule executed by the grammatical processor;
• (b) translating each of the first grammatical components into grammatical components of another language;
• (c) combining the translated grammatical components corresponding to the first grammatical components into a translated sentence;
• (d) displaying the original sentence and the translated sentence in vertical juxtaposition;
• (e) determining whether a subsequent division rule is established;
• (f) dividing, with the grammatical processor, each of the first grammatical components into a plurality of subsequent grammatical components, or each of a previous plurality of subsequent components into the plurality of subsequent grammatical components, according to the established subsequent division rule that is executed by the grammatical processor;
• (g) translating each of the subsequent grammatical components into grammatical components of another language;
• (h) combining the translated grammatical components corresponding to the subsequent grammatical components into a subsequently translated sentence;
• (i) displaying the original sentence and the subsequently translated sentence in vertical juxtaposition;
• (j) determining whether a subsequent division rule is established;
• and
• (k) performing steps (f) through (k) again if the subsequent division rule is determined to be established in step (j).

An automated translator, comprising:

• a grammatical processing means for:
• (a) dividing an original sentence into a plurality of first grammatical components according to a first division rule, and
• (b) dividing each of the first grammatical components into a plurality of second grammatical components according to a second division rule;
• a translating means for translating each of the second grammatical components into grammatical components of another language;
• and
• a displaying means for combining the translated grammatical components into a translated sentence and displaying the original sentence and the translated sentence in vertical juxtaposition.

An automated translator, comprising:

• a first grammatical processing means for dividing an original sentence into a plurality of first grammatical components according to a first division rule;
• a word number counting means for determining which of the first grammatical components have more than a prescribed number of words;
• a second grammatical processing means for dividing each of the first grammatical components determined to have more than the prescribed number of words into a plurality of second grammatical components according to a second division rules;
• a first translating means for translating each of the first grammatical components, which were not divided into second grammatical components, into grammatical components of another language;
• a second translating means for translating each of the second grammatical components into grammatical components of another language;
• and
• a display means for combining the translated grammatical components into a translated sentence and displaying the original sentence and the translated sentence in vertical juxtaposition.
