Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, an obtaining unit, and a translating unit. The receiving unit receives a document as a target to be translated. The obtaining unit obtains a non-target region from the document, the non-target region being a region that is not a target to be translated. The translating unit does not perform translation on the non-target region but performs translation on a portion other than the non-target region.

Claims (30)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor programmed to:

receive a document as a target to be translated;

display the document on a screen;

receive a user input designating an area of the displayed document, the user input being an input surrounding the designated area with a frame;

define a region corresponding to the designated area as a non-target region, the non-target region being a region that is not a target to be translated; and

perform translation on a portion of the document that is not the non-target region without performing translation on the non-target region.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

display a translation result obtained after performing the translation on the screen while maintaining a layout of the non-target region within the document.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is programmed to display the translation result on the screen in a region other than the non-target region.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

obtain the non-target region from the document;

extract a region of an image similar to an image that has already been designated as not being a target to be translated from the document; and

present the extracted region as a candidate non-target region.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the document includes an information image indicating the non-target region, and

the processor programmed to obtain the non-target region by using the information image.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor programmed to:

obtain information representing a connection between characters in character regions around the non-target region; and

perform translation in accordance with the connection.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is programmed to:

perform layout analysis on the document;

present a result of the performed layout analysis; and

obtain the information representing the connection between the characters in the character regions in accordance with an operator's instruction to select the connection.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

receiving a document as a target to be translated;

displaying the document on a screen

receiving a user input designating an area of the displayed document, the user input being an input surrounding the designated area with a frame;

defining a region corresponding to the designated area as a non-target region, the non-target region being a region that is not a target to be translated; and

performing translation on a portion of the document that is not the non-target region without performing translation on the non-target region.
