PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mechanically translate contents of a dictionary integrated inside a machine translation system with accuracy similar to the case of practically increasing the number of words registered on the dictionary without changing the contents. SOLUTION: In the machine translation preprocessor for preprocessing an input text for improving the accuracy of machine translation before inputting an input text in a source language to a machine translation device, this device is provided with an input part 102 for inputting the text in the source language, a table memory 104 for storing a preprocessing dictionary table 1041 having an entry containing pairs of index words in the source language and correspondent words in a predetermined language, a dictionary reference part 1051 for retrieving an entry having a correspondent index word from the preprocessing dictionary table 1041 concerning a word contained in the inputted text, and a replacing part 1052 for replacing one part of the text with the correspondent word, which is contained in the retrieved entry, in the predetermined language. |
