ABSTRACT:
In a speech translation apparatus, a correspondence storage unit stores therein identifiers of terminals and usage languages used in the terminals associated with each other. A receiving unit receives a source speech from one of the terminals. A translating unit acquires usage languages from the correspondence storage unit, and generates a translated speech by using each of the acquired usage languages as a target language. When the translated speech is generated in any one of the target languages, a determining unit determines whether it has been generated in all the target languages. If the translated speech has been generated in all the target languages, an output unit outputs the translated speech. A sending unit sends the translated speech to each of the terminals.
