Abstract

The invention provides a foreign language writing support apparatus used for assisting fluent foreign language writing. According to one embodiment, a foreign language writing support apparatus includes an input unit, a dictionary search unit, a word group generation unit, a candidate generation unit, a machine translation unit and a display unit. The input unit receives input of a foreign language article. The dictionary search unit performs a dictionary search for the word in another language in the foreign language article to acquire a translated word of the word in another language corresponding to the word in the foreign language. The word group generation unit generates expanded word groups including the translated word.
