Abstract

A machine-translation/electronic-mail system comprises an electronic-mail receiving unit, an electronic-mail transmitting unit, a standard dictionary used in a machine translation process, and a private-use-word registering apparatus. The private-use-word registering apparatus comprises a word-definition recognition unit for recognizing a word-definition command for defining a private-use word used by a specified user, the word-definition command existing in an electronic mail containing a document, and a temporarily registering means for temporarily storing in a private-use word dictionary the private-use word having been extracted by the word-definition recognition unit, the private-use word dictionary being temporarily used in the translation as the private-use word dictionary.
