Abstract: A method for automatically translating data into different human languages and into different media formats. The method of the present invention uses a template for decomposing the data into at least one data element, predetermined according to a human language subject area. Each such subject area has a limited vocabulary and contains a limited number of concepts. The data is then entered, manipulated and stored according to the template. Since the structure of the data is predetermined according to subject area, the data is relatively easy to translate into different human languages according to such a limited vocabulary. The data is also relatively easy to translate into different media formats, such as facsimile transmission, e-mail and voice messages, for example. Thus, the method of the present invention easily and efficiently translates data into different human languages and into different media formats.
