Abstract

Any natural language is regarded as a representation of semantic language. The translation between two languages (I, J) is regarded as a transformation between two representations. A natural language-I is translated into another natural language-J only by two steps. One is semantic-analysis of language-I based on “semantic-element-representation-base of language-I”, the other is deploying into the representation of language-J baded on “semantic-element-representation-base of language-J”. For translating inN natural languages, it is needed to developN translation systems only, rather thanN(N-1)/2, or 2N systems.
