1. A method where a word string is processed by a morphology process comprising the steps of: removing one or more affixes from the word string to create a root, the removed affix being one of the affixes on an affix list; comparing the root to one or more of the words in a vocabulary to find a match, the vocabulary having a plurality of words, each with one or more Hanzi translations, the word in the vocabulary matching the root being the root match; and storing in the computer memory the Hanzi translation of the root match.
