Checking words

Preposition

Correct improper prepositions.

Singular/Plural

A Japanese noun without a word indicating a plural number is translated into singular form. In
this case, check the translation and correct it to plural form if necessary.

Article

Improper articles should be rewritten or deleted.

ATLAS generally uses "the" as an article. In the following cases, however, "a" is used instead:

• In "There is ~ " sentence structure:

試験がある。 → There is an examination.

• When a noun is modified by an adjective:

私は美 し い本を買っ た。 → I bought a beautiful book.

Tense

Tenses may not be translated properly since they are not usually clarified in Japanese. In this
case, correct them in translation.

Japanese unique expressions

Japanese unique expressions such as " ~が用意 さ れてい る " are not translated into
reasonable sentences. In this case, the English translation must be corrected.

Ex.

Original

ユーザ ID を 6 文字以下で指定し なさ い。

Translation

Specify user ID by six characters or less.

Correction

Specify user ID in six characters or less.
