Translating Interactive Computer Dialogues From Ideographic To Alphabetic Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
A scheme is described which enables users to interact with a timesharing computer in an ideographic language such as Chinese. The host computer runs a completely unmodified Englishbased operating system° the necessary translation being performed by a preprocessing microcomputer which constitutes the ideographic terminal. The two systems communicate through a serial line, and the host sees the preprocessor as an ordinary (English) terminal. Although the examples are all drawn from Chinese, the scheme could equally well serve other ideographic languages like Japanese and Korean.
