| Research Abstract |
Based on improvement in translation method using syntax, paraphrase, segmentation oriented to multi-language, we propose the method calculating a distance between languages. Although the proposed distance roughly correlates time for English speaker to acquire the concerned language, further refinement of distance definition should be pursued. As byproduct, we built translation systems for 420 directions, i.e., all possible directions among 21 languages.
