A Design of Korean Generator for Japanese to Korean Translation System

일한 번역시스템을 위한 한국어 생성기 설계

This paper proposes the Korean generator which is used in a Japanese to Korean translation system. The established Korean generator for japanese to Korean translation uses the entire sentence structure to generate Korean, or directly translates each morpheme. But in this paper, the generator generates Korean, based on a short clause. Japanese and Korean have similarities in short clauses, including the word order. But in the Korean generation, they also have many differences within short clauses. The analysed features in Japanese and Korean are in the wrong order. Therefore the Korean generator which takes it into consideration is needed. We propose a annotational algorithm for the Korean generation and apply it to the translation of postpositions, declinable words and auxiliary verbs. We also consider Korean phonological phenomenon that can't be extracted from the analyed Japanese informations. In the end, we can translate the Japanese conjugation that can't be easily dealt in the procedural method.
