ABSTRACT:
A method for translating sentences in a source language to sentences in a target language. A knowledge base includes a plurality of information patterns in the source language which represents substantially all possible information patterns of the source language. A corresponding plurality of information patterns in the target language are contained in the same knowledge base, and are associated with source language information patterns in accordance with a predetermined determination. To translate a source language sentence into a target language sentence, the source language sentence is analyzed and its constituent parts of speech are determined so that a specific information pattern is identified. The knowledge base is consulted, and the corresponding target language information pattern is identified. The source language words are then inserted into the target language information pattern to form a Linguistic Canonical Form which is translated. Self-correcting grammar rules are then applied to provide a polished translation.
