Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018073635A1] The present invention relates to a method for transferring a word sequence (30) written in a source language into a word sequence (39) with a corresponding semantic content in a target language at least partly by machine. By analysing the word sequence (30) in the source language and identifying terms having lexical ambiguity (32) in the word sequence by comparison against a terminology database (7) comprising terms having lexical ambiguity in the source language that have multiple associated term indicators (33, 34) depending on their number of meanings, association of a term identifier (33, 34) with the term having lexical ambiguity (32) in the source language provides an unambiguous term definition for translating the word sequence (39) into the target language. This makes an in particular completely machine-generated translation less susceptible to error.
