Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method for handling jargon in communication systems. The present invention can allow users and communication systems to manage jargon, providing end users with the ability to translate incoming messages containing unknown words, expressions, symbols, shortcuts, and the like. For example, the present invention can be used in messaging systems to allow unaware or unfamiliar users to be able to easily comprehend messages that include such jargon and shortcuts. Alternatively, users with small screens (e.g., on mobile or handheld communication devices) or for other reasons can receive and/or display jargon or shortcuts automatically where appropriate, instead of long phrases. The present invention can perform such jargon translation on the server side, on the client/recipient side, or in a mixed server/client mode. Any suitable type of messaging or communication system can utilize the jargon handling system of the present invention.
