12. A method for translating any of a certain plurality of words from a first language into a second language, the method comprising the steps of: storing digital data representing each of the plurality of groups of words in the first language in a first memory means; storing digital data representing each of a second and like plurality of groups of words in the second language in a second memory means, each of the second groups of words being the translation of one of the groups of words in the first language and being correspondingly addressed within the second memory means as is its counterpart in the first memory means; selecting a key word from a chosen group of words corresponding to one of the certain plurality of groups of words in the first language that are stored in the first memory means; sequentially retrieving each of the plurality of groups of words in the first language stored in the first memory means; comparing separately each of the words in each of the plurality of groups of words in the first language as they are sequentially retrieved with the key word and thereby detecting any equivalency therebetween; determining that one of the plurality of groups of words in the first language that is detected as having a word identical to the selected word is the group whose translation into the second language is desired; and retrieving the group of words in the second language corresponding to the group of words in the first language whose translation is desired whereby the translation of a group of words from the first language to the second language can be accomplished by use of only a single word selected from the group of words in the first language.
