Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes storing previous translations of electronic documents for profiles of translation professionals. The method includes receiving a request to translate an electronic document. The method includes selecting ones of the profiles as being experienced in at least one subject area of the electronic document based on a proximity of terms or subject areas in the electronic documents translated by the ones of the profiles to terms or the subject area of the electronic document. The method includes evaluating qualities of the previous translations for each of the selected ones of the profiles. The method includes planning a workflow for translation of the electronic document based on the selected ones of the profiles and the qualities of the previous translations. The method includes causing the electronic document to be translated according to the planned workflow.

Abstract: A method for translating a current electronic document is disclosed that includes storing previous translations of prior electronic documents for profiles of translation professionals, extracting terms from prior electronic documents, and generating glossaries that are each associated with one of the profiles and include a respective subset of terms. The method also includes receiving a request to translate the current electronic document, selecting one or more of the profiles based on proximity of the respective subset of terms to extracted terms of the current electronic document, evaluating qualities of the previous translations for each of the selected profiles, planning a workflow for translation of the current electronic document based on the selected profiles, and causing the current electronic document to be translated according to the planned workflow.

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.

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.
