  • Patent number: 7792276
    Abstract: A method and system of providing language interpretation for a merchant are disclosed. An incoming telephone call from a customer speaking a first language is received at a language interpretation service. The customer is greeted in the first language by an interpreter associated with a language interpretation provider. The interpreter telephonically engages a first agent representing the merchant, wherein the first agent speaks a second language and the interpreter translates a conversation between the customer and the first agent. Once the translation is completed, the first agent is disconnected from the call. Next, if the customer elects to be connected to a business partner of the merchant, the interpreter telephonically engages a second agent representing the business partner. The second agent speaks the second language and the interpreter translates a conversation between the customer and the second agent.
