Information processing device and translation method

Abstract

This invention provides an information processing device, a translation method, and a program that can reproduce and translate the distinctive speech patterns of characters into other languages. [Solution] The manga translation system 10 extracts lines in the first language associated with character profiles that indicate the attributes of the characters from the manga panels, translates the extracted lines from the first language to the second language, and the correction unit corrects the lines translated into the second language so that the language is appropriate to the associated character profile.

Claims

An extraction unit that extracts dialogue in the first language associated with character attributes from manga panels, A translation unit that translates the dialogue extracted by the extraction unit from the first language to the second language, A correction unit corrects the dialogue translated into the second language by the translation unit so that the wording is appropriate to the associated attribute, An information processing device equipped with the following features.

2. A storage unit that stores the usage of the second language according to the attribute for each attribute. Equipped with, The correction unit corrects the translated dialogue in the second language based on translation correction data indicating the usage of the second language corresponding to the attribute stored in the memory unit. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the correction unit inputs the attribute-associated and translated dialogue into the second language to a correction model that has been machine-trained using the dialogue in the second language, which is the language used by the character indicated by the attribute, as training data, and outputs the dialogue that has been corrected to the language used according to the attribute.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the lines corrected by the translator after being corrected by the correction model are used as training data for the correction model.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the aforementioned line of dialogue is not associated with the aforementioned attribute, the correction by the correction unit is not performed.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein if the translated dialogue in the second language does not fit in the speech bubble in which the dialogue before translation into the second language was displayed, the speech bubble is enlarged.

7. The first step involves an extraction unit that extracts lines in the first language associated with character attributes from manga panels, A second step is for the translation unit to translate the dialogue extracted by the extraction unit from the first language to the second language, A third step in which the correction unit corrects the dialogue translated into the second language by the translation unit so that the wording is appropriate to the associated attribute, A translation method that has.
