Abstract :
In this study, we have developed an automatic translation repair method to automatically improve the accuracy of translations. Machine translation (MT) supports multilingual communication, however, it cannot achieve high accuracy. MT creates only one translated sentence, therefore, it is difficult to improve the accuracy of translated sentences. Our method creates multiple translations by adding personal pronouns to the source sentence and by using a word dictionary and a parallel corpus. In addition, it selects an accurate translation from among the multiple translations using the results of a Web search. As a result, the automatic translation repair method improved the accuracy of translated sentences, and its accuracy is greater than that of MT.
