A sign language/word translation system can cope with the case where no word corresponding to a hand operation is found. The system includes a configuration for taking a countermeasure against the finding of a plurality of words corresponding to a hand operation. When a word corresponding to a hand operation is not found in a sign language word dictionary (5), a finger operation is input, a character corresponding to the finger operation is searched for in a manual alphabet pattern dictionary (6), and the character train thus obtained is found from a character word dictionary (7), thereby producing an appropriate word. Also, a plurality of words found from the sign language word dictionary (5) are displayed as translation candidates, and the user inputs by a hand operation as to whether the translation candidate is appropriate or not. The translation candidate that has been decided to be appropriate is determined as word resulting from translation. <IMAGE> |
