  • a communication server configured to communicate with two or more end user devices, each including an audio input device and an audio output device, and the communication server is further configured to perform operations comprising;

    receiving audio data signals representing communication in a first spoken language from a first end user device; and

    transmitting the audio data signals to a second end user device via a first communication channel, the audio data signals when received by the second end user device causing the second end user device to embed a language preference for the second end user device into the audio data signals; and

    a translation services server configured to communicate with the end user devices and perform operations comprising;

    after the second end user device embeds the language preference into the audio data signals, receiving the audio data signals from the second end user device via a second communication channel that is separate from the first communication channel between the second end user device and the communication server;

    executing a language recognition process to recognize the first spoken language of the communication represented by the audio data signals;

    determining whether the first spoken language of the communication represented by the audio data signals corresponds to the language preference of the second end user device;

    in response to determining that the first spoken language does not correspond to the language preference of the second end user device, translating the audio data signals in the first spoken language into audio data signals in a second spoken language, the second spoken language corresponding to the language preference of the second end user device; and

    transmitting the translated audio data signals to the second end user device.
