ABSTRACT:
A translation apparatus includes a translating device connected to an optical character reader for input. The optical character reader includes a reference dictionary stored in a first memory which stores a plurality of reference character strings of morphemes in a first language, each morpheme being identified by a unique address. A morpheme analysis device in the optical character reader matches an optically read character string with one of the morpheme stored in the first memory. A communication device transfers the results of the morpheme analysis, including morphemes and their associated addresses, to the translating device. At the translating device, the results from the morpheme analysis are used to translate the optically read character string to a second language by accessing a second memory. The second memory is addressed identically to that of the first memory.
