<p>In a translation apparatus, a clue-making desire is inputted via a tablet (1) through a selection of an appropriate item from a menu or inputting of a desire sentence in the form of "want to" in a first language. A desire analyzer (6) analyzes the clue-making desire and, if a situation of the desire cannot be specified, presents a query for narrowing a desire content. With the situation specified, the desire analyzer (6) presents a query for further narrowing the desire content, thereby determining the desire content of the user. An optimum conversational sentence selector (7) selects a conversational sentence in a second language expressing the determined desire content from a conversational sentence storage, and a display section (9) displays the selected conversational sentence. <IMAGE></p> |
