Abstract: Systems and methods for automated document translation. An example method comprises: scanning an image of an original document using a scanner of a multi-function device; performing, by a processor, optical character recognition of the image to retrieve a text of the original document, wherein the text comprises at least a portion expressed in a source natural language; responsive to receiving a user input specifying a translation method, producing a translated document by causing the portion of the text to be translated into a target natural language using the translation method, wherein the translation method is provided by one of: a machine translation or a human translation; and printing the translated document using a printer of the multi-function device.

Abstract: A networked language translation system and method allowing access by a distributed network of human and machine translators that communicate electronically to provide for the translation of material. The system and method provide a way to aggregate the resources of a large number of intermittently available, mixed competency translators, human or machine, in order to provide high-quality translations.
