Several parts of speech, including sentences, words and phrases, in multiple languages, Japanese and English, for instance, are stored in a ROM; and some of the parts of speech include an addition-permitting flag indicating that a word or phrase can be added to these parts of speech. Words and phrases that may be added to the stored syntactical structures are also stored in the ROM. In response to user input, a desired syntactical structure is read from the ROM and displayed. When the displayed syntactical structure has an addition-permitting flag, a predetermined symbol near the displayed syntactical structure is displayed, and a desired word or phrase is read from the ROM and added to the displayed syntactical structure in response to a user input. Upon depression of a key, the resulting syntactical structure is translated into another language.
