Abstract(in English) In communication using a machine translation, inaccurate translation prevents effective communication among individuals, and leads to misunderstandings. Back translation is used to check the accuracy of a sentencetranslated to a native language. We believe that there is a positive correlation between the accuracy of sentences translated to an intermediate language and that of back-translated sentences. However, this has not yet been verified. If there is not a positive correlation between the accuracy of sentences translated to an intermediate language and that of back-translated sentences, back translation is not appropriate as the method for checking the accuracy of a translated sentence. In this paper, we have evaluated the accuracy of back-translated sentences and that of sentences translated to an intermediate language in order to establish the correlation between the two accuracies.
