● Clarifying logical relations between clauses

A sentence consisting of two or more clauses may not be translated correctly if the relation 
between them is not clear. Relations between 2 clauses include cause, result, purpose, 
measures and conditions.

You can obtain better translation results by reviewing translated text and modifying it 
as necessary. This section explains hints for obtaining better translation results.

■ Checking sentence structure

● Verb Pattern

Since ATLAS, by default, translates a sentence with no subject into passive voice, improper 
English expressions may be generated depending on the style of the original text. In this 
case, change the verb pattern of the translated text.

⇒ Defining logical relations between clauses
