A METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSLATION OF INFORMATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for translating information given as a character string in a first language into a character string in a second language. The invention is advantageously implemented in machine translation of text information. One idea of the invention is to divide the information to be translated into structural segments (102) and to perform the translation by structural segments (122). The translation is done on the basis of model segments and rules stored in the knowledge base. The data included in the knowledge base are advantageously increased in such a way that, whenever necessary in the translating process, the user feeds translations (132) of new model segments over the user interface, these translations being subsequently stored as model segments in the knowledge base (133, 134). Owing to the solution of the invention, the translating equipment requires less memory capacity and a lower processor speed. In addition, it requires substantially less programming and the operation of the equipment can be developed without software updating.
