An input sentence described by a first natural language is sectioned into individual words. Parts of speech corresponding to the individual words are retrieved from a lexical word storage, whereby the input sentence is described by a corresponding string of the parts-of-speech as retrieved. A translation pattern table is previously prepared which defines correspondence between patterns of strings of parts-of-speech for the first natural language and those for a second natural language by which corresponding output sentence is to be described. By referring to the translation pattern table, the string of the parts-of-speech of the input sentence is transformed into a corresponding string of the parts-of-speech for the second natural language. The output sentence described by the second natural language is generated by sequencing target words in accordance with the sequential order of the parts of speech of the string pattern obtained after the transformation.

A method of performing translations between first and second natural languages comprising: a first step of sectioning a source text described by a first natural language word by word and storing the words in storage; a second step of deriving information regarding the parts-of-speech of the stored source words through retrieval of the parts-of-speech information from a lexical dictionary storage in which words are registered together with information regarding the parts-of-speech thereof; a third step of deriving target words in the second natural language which are equivalent in meaning to the respective stored source words in the first natural language; a fourth step of translating a first pattern of a string of parts-of-speech formed by gathering the parts-of-speech for each of the stored source words derived in said second step into a pattern in which the order of the parts-of-speech is in accordance with said first natural language, into a second pattern of a string-of-parts of speech with an order in accordance with said second natural language by referring to a translation pattern table which registers therein the correspondences between first patterns of parts-of-speech strings defining sequences of parts-of-speech of the first natural language and second patterns of parts-of-speech strings defining sequences of parts-of-speech of the second natural language; and a fifth step of generating a sentence in the second natural language by sequencing said target words in accordance with the sequential order of the parts-of-speech in said translated second pattern of the string of parts-of-speech of said second natural language.
