A key word for retrieving a document is extracted from a character string to be translated or a translated character string. If the language of a document which is retrieved by using the key word that has been retrieved is the one to be translated, translation is performed. If the language of the retrieved document is a translated language, then translation into an original language is performed. The retrieved document is displayed in an area 207 while a translated document is displayed in an area 208. By this, sharing of information is supported by the presented document. By pressing down a translation switching button 203, a language to be translated and a translated language can be specified for either of two languages, for supporting dialogue in two directions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
