TRANSLATION METHOD FOR HYPER TEXT TYPE DOCUMENT AND TRANSLATION DEVICE FOR HTML DOCUMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To translate the anchor of a hyper link in a hyper text type document and to leave it without being translated at it is by making a user select an anchor translation mode or a non-translation mode. SOLUTION: When the user clicks the anchor of the hyper link included in the document displayed by a browser 1, the document name of a link destination and a translation command included in corresponding hyper link information are sent from the browser 1 to a supervisor 2. The supervisor 2 sets a flag F, transmits only the document name to a server 4 and receives the pertinent document from the server 4. Since the flag F is set, the supervisor 2 translates the transmitted document into Japanese after adding the translation command to each hyper link information included in the transmitted document. At the time, the information other than a text such as a document name, URL and a tag, etc., is not translated. Then, after resetting the flag F, a translation sentence is sent to the browser 1.
