This paper addresses the problem of compound word translation and proposes the approaches to acquiring translations. The proposed approaches focus on exploring web data and utilizing English translations to link words of the source language and the correspondences in the target language. The paper uses Japanese-Chinese language pairs for the sake of illustration and shows initial experimental results. The proposed method is language-independent and therefore can be applied to other language pairs.
