Abstract: Methods for correcting inaccurate translation of words or phrases in a mobile app, by users of that mobile app, in which those users can invoke an alternate “correction” function in the mobile app. The correction function allows users of the mobile app to send messages back to a programmer of the mobile app, including alternative translations, comments on translations, connotations of those translations, and other meaning associated with those translations. Edits made by users can be counted, or otherwise statistically measured, to determine a most-popular translation associated with the original text from the mobile app.

Abstract: Techniques that enable correction of inaccurate or inappropriate words and phrases users can find in a translated program, without requiring undue efforts by those users to contact the programmers with that information. A program user can communicate back to the programmer, with the effect that the user is able to inform the programmer of any inaccurate or inappropriate words or phrases that user has found in a translated program. The technique for communication does not require the user to know where, or even who, the programmer is. Users can edit the words displayed by the program, replacing mistranslated words or phrases with replacements that are more accurate or more appropriate. Users' edits that are agreed to by multiple users can each have a “vote” count associated therewith, so the programmer can determine the vox populi for that translation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for verifying a customer's legitimacy to use a payment instrument based on access to financial account information provided by the instrument issuer is disclosed. A seller accepts details about goods and services to be delivered, and information about a payment instrument to be used in a purchase by a customer. More specifically, a merchant accepts information about a financial account from the customer including the account's billing address and the account's telephone number associated with the billing address. The merchant obtains a verified billing address from the financial institution holding the financial account by using an address verification system (AVS) and a verified physical address by performing a reverse telephone number query against a reverse telephone number database. The merchant then compares the verified billing address to the verified physical address.
