1. An electronic device comprising:
one or more sensors;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
receive an input,
based on the input, generate a translation factor used for limiting a meaning of a word to be translated,
in response to receiving the input, collect data regarding a surrounding environment of the electronic device by using the one or more sensors,
based on the collected data, generate a surrounding environment factor,
determine plural candidate words to be translated,
determine a first usage association of each of the plural candidate words, the first usage association including a correlation between the translation factor and each of the plural candidate words,
based on the correlation, determine a candidate word having a highest correlation value,
translate the determined candidate word and the input, the translating of the input including changing at least one first word corresponding to the input to at least one second word related to the at least one first word, the changing of the at least one first word including adjusting a difficulty level of a result of translating the at least one first word based on the translation factor, and
output a translation result of the input through at least one of a display or a speaker of the electronic device.
