Abstract(in English) There is a possibility that the misunderstanding is caused in multilingual communications, because people cannot understand enough other culture even when talking by using the same word. People should judge the presence of a cultural difference in today's situation. However, it is difficult to judge it because enough knowledge of other culture is necessary. We proposed a cultural difference detection method between Japan and China focused on mutual mentioned and unmentioned on Japanese and Chinese Wikipedia. We verify the mis-detection words in the proposed method, and improve the method in this paper. We found that two main possible causes of the mis-detection : a biased description about an author's owns country, few amounts of description and insufficient explanation. Then, we propose the improved cultural difference detection method in consideration of the main possible causes. From the result of the experiment, we presented that the improved method can detect correct cultural differences about all kind of cultural differences, better than the conventional method.
