Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for providing a translated message in telecommunications. A request is received for translating a current message in a first language into a current message in a second language destined for a user. Whether the current message in the first language has been previously translated into a corresponding message in the second language is determined. If the corresponding message in the second language exists, the current message in the second language is generated based on the corresponding message in the second language previously translated. The current message is then sent in the second language to the user as a response to the request.

Claims

1. A method implemented on a computer having at least one processor, storage, and communication platform for providing translation of a message, comprising the steps of:

receiving, by a translation server, a request to translate a message in a first language destined for a user to a message in a second language, the request being initiated by an Internet source independent of the user, wherein the Internet source generates the message in the first language without receiving any input from the user;

determining, by the translation server, whether the message in the first language has been previously translated into a corresponding message in the second language;

if the result of the determining step is affirmative,

generating, by the translation server, the translated message in the second language based on the corresponding message in the second language previously translated; and

sending, by the translation server, the generated message in the second language to the Internet source.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the message in the first language complies with a first protocol and the message in the second language complies with a second protocol.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

if the result of the determining step is negative,

scheduling for translation of the message in the first language;

receiving the translation of the message in the first language;

generating the message in the second language based on the translation of the message in the first language; and

sending the generated message in the second language to the Internet source.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the translation of the message is via at least one of machine translation, human translation, and a combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the message includes an electronic mail and a text message.

6. A method implemented on a computer having at least one processor, storage, and communication platform for providing translation of a message, comprising the steps of:

receiving, by a translation server, a request to translate a message in a first language destined for a user to a message in a second language, the request being initiated by an Internet source independent of the user, wherein the Internet source generates the message in the first language without receiving any input from the user;

determining, by the translation server, a portion of the message that has been previously translated into the second language and a portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language;

scheduling for translation, by the translation server, the portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language;

generating, by the translation server, a partially translated message in the second language by replacing the portion of the message that has been previously translated into the second language with a corresponding translated portion; and

sending, by the translation server, the generated message in the second language.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the generated message in the second language is sent by the translation server to the user.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the generated message in the second language is sent by the translation server to the Internet source.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

receiving the translation of the portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language; and

storing the received translation of the portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language as a corresponding translated portion for future use.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the translation of the portion of the message that has been previously translated into the second language is via at least one of machine translation, human translation, and a combination thereof.

11. The method of claim 6, wherein the message includes an electronic mail and a text message.

12. A non-transitory machine readable medium having information recorded thereon for providing translation of a message, wherein the information, when read by a machine, causes the machine to perform the steps of:

receiving, by a translation server, a request to translate a message in a first language destined for a user to a message in a second language, the request being initiated by an Internet source independent of the user, wherein the Internet source generates the message in the first language without receiving any input from the user;

determining, by the translation server, whether the message in the first language has been previously translated into a corresponding message in the second language;

if the result of the determining step is affirmative,

generating, by the translation server, the translated message in the second language based on the corresponding message in the second language previously translated; and

sending, by the translation server, the generated message in the second language to the Internet source.

13. The medium of claim 12, wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to further perform the steps of:

if the result of the determining step is negative,

scheduling for translation of the message in the first language;

receiving the translation of the message in the first language;

generating the message in the second language based on the translation of the message in the first language; and

sending the generated message in the second language to the Internet source.

14. The medium of claim 13, wherein the translation of the message is via at least one of machine translation, human translation, and a combination thereof.

15. The medium of claim 12, wherein the message includes an electronic mail and a text message.

16. A non-transitory machine readable medium having information recorded thereon for providing translation of a message, wherein the information, when read by a machine, causes the machine to perform the steps of:

receiving, by a translation server, a request to translate a message in a first language destined for a user to a message in a second language, the request being initiated by an Internet source independent of the user, wherein the Internet source generates the message in the first language without receiving any input from the user;

determining, by the translation server, a portion of the message that has been previously translated into the second language and a portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language;

scheduling for translation, by the translation server, the portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language;

generating, by the translation server, a partially translated message in the second language by replacing the portion of the message that has been previously translated into the second language with a corresponding translated portion; and

sending, by the translation server, the generated message in the second language.

17. The medium of claim 16, wherein the generated message in the second language is sent by the translation server to the user.

18. The medium of claim 16, wherein the generated message in the second language is sent by the translation server to the Internet source.

19. The medium of claim 16, wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to further perform the steps of:

receiving the translation of the portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language; and

storing the received translation of the portion of the message that has not been previously translated into the second language as a corresponding translated portion for future use.

20. The medium of claim 16, wherein the translation of the portion of the message that has been previously translated into the second language is via at least one of machine translation, human translation, and a combination thereof.

21. The medium of claim 16, wherein the message includes an electronic mail and a text message.
