  • Translation Information Segment
    Publication number: 20080120087
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for using translation information segment to provide seamless translation of a communication in a network environment. The communication contains a readable translation information segment that includes global translation parameters to obtain translation of the communication from a first language to a target language. The translation information is analyzed to obtain the translation parameters to be used in translating the communication. The translation information preferably includes at least one of: a pointer to a translation of the communication; or a pointer to a translation engine for translating the communication; or a pointer to a human translator skilled in translating the communication.

  • Seamless translation system
    Publication number: 20060271349
    Abstract: A method and system for providing automatic translation of an electronic communication from a source language to one or more target languages. A source language is determined using a translation identifier or a language identifier means. A user profile is read to determine the target language. The target language and the source language are compared to determine a required translation.
