6 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have proposed a method for incrementally translating English spoken language into Japanese. To realize simultaneous translation  our method utilizes the feature that word order is flexible in Japanese, and determines the word order of a translation based on dependency structures and Japanese dependency constraints. Moreover, our method employs predicate inversion and repetition to resolve the problem that Japanese has a predicate at the end of a sentence. We implemented a prototype system and conducted an experiment with 578 sentences in the ATIS corpus.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We evaluated the translation results of our system in terms of quality and simultaneity, confirming that our method achieved a 55.6% improvement over the method of translating by retaining the word order of an original with respect to translation quality, and a 1.0 improvement over the method of consecutive translation regarding average delay time.</Paragraph>
