PURPOSE:To shorten the retrieval time of a dictionary memory by storing preliminarily information of specific words in an internal processing table in a format suitable for use purposes. CONSTITUTION:Individual words in data of an English language sentence inputted from an input device 5 such as a keyboard or the like are retrieved with heading words in a fixed area 201 of an internal processing table 4. If a word is not found in the fixed area 201 of the internal processing table 4, this word is transferred to a dictionary access processor 3 to retrieve a dictionary memory 2. As the retrieving system of the English-Japanese dictionary memory 2, for example, a dictionary retrieving system having format element processings can be adopted. Variable-length retrieval information of this word is converted to information suitable for a fixed-length table shown by the figure and is taken into an area 202 of the internal processing table 4. |
