Abstract

A multiple language translation system is disclosed. A code stream that is transmitted between users comprises a language code indicating the language used, a sentence code indicating a sentence structure, and at least one word code. The word codes are codes representing a word in the language that the language code represents. Each word code comprises a number code representing a unique word and a grammar code indicating grammatical usage the word. During translation of the code stream, the sentence code is used to format the word codes or the words represented by the word codes in a correct sentence. The code stream is translated by identifying the language code and translating the word codes into a second language. The sentence code is then used to arrange the words of the second language into a grammatically correct sentence.

Claims

1. A multiple language translation system comprising:

detecting a language code indicating a language used in a code stream;

identifying a second language code indicating a second language;

translating word codes in the code stream into second language words by using the language code and the second language code;

translating a sentence code in the code stream into a second sentence code; and

formatting the second language words into a sentence structure by using the second sentence code.

2. The multiple language translation system of claim 1, the word codes in the code stream each comprising a number code and a grammar code.

3. The multiple language translation system of claim 1, the sentence code indicating a sentence structure according to a language indicated by the language code.

4. The multiple language translation system of claim 2, the number code indicating a word and the grammar code indicating grammatical usage of the word.

5. The multiple language translation system of claim 1, the code stream further comprising a first user code uniquely identifying a user that created the code stream.

6. The multiple language translation system of claim 1, the code stream further comprising a device code uniquely identifying a device used to create the code stream.

7. A multiple language translation system comprising:

receiving an original language input;

translating the original language input into base language text;

converting the base language text into at least one word code;

determining at least one target language word using the at least one word code;

searching for the at least one target language word; and

selecting a translation from search results.

8. The multiple language translation system of claim 7, each word code comprising a language code, a number code, and a grammar code.

9. The multiple language translation system of claim 8, the language code indication language used, the number code indicating a word, and the grammar code indicating grammatical usage of the word.

10. The multiple language translation system of claim 7, where each word code comprises numbers that represent base language letters.

11. The multiple language translation system of claim 10, where a base language is English and A equals 1, B equals 2, C equals 3, D equals 4, E equals 5, F equals 6, G equals 7, H equals 8, 1 equals 9, J equals 10, K equals 11, L equals 12, M equals 13, N equals 14, O equals 15, P equals 16, Q equals 17, R equals 18, S equals 19, T equals 20, U equals 21, V equals 22, W equals 23, X equals 24, Y equals 25, and Z equals 26.

12. The multiple language translation system of claim 7, where the original language input comprises text, speech, captured image, viewfinder image, scanned image, or scanned text.

13. The multiple language translation system of claim 7, further comprising:

receiving a confirmation that the original language input is correct before translating the original language input into base language text.

14. A multiple language translation system comprising:

receiving an original language input;

translating the original language input into base language text;

converting the base language text into at least one word code;

determining at least one target language word using the at least one word code;

searching via internet for the at least one target language word;

selecting a translation from search results; and

sending the translation to a user.

15. The multiple language translation system of claim 14, each word code comprising a language code, a number code, and a grammar code.

16. The multiple language translation system of claim 15, the language code indication language used, the number code indicating a word, and the grammar code indicating grammatical usage of the word.

17. The multiple language translation system of claim 14, where each word code comprises numbers that represent base language letters.

18. The multiple language translation system of claim 17, where a base language is English and A equals 1, B equals 2, C equals 3, D equals 4, E equals 5, F equals 6, G equals 7, H equals 8, 1 equals 9, J equals 10, K equals 11, L equals 12, M equals 13, N equals 14, O equals 15, P equals 16, Q equals 17, R equals 18, S equals 19, T equals 20, U equals 21, V equals 22, W equals 23, X equals 24, Y equals 25, and Z equals 26.

19. The multiple language translation system of claim 14, where the original language input comprises text, speech, captured image, viewfinder image, scanned image, or scanned text.

20. The multiple language translation system of claim 14, further comprising:

receiving a confirmation that the original language input is correct before translating the original language input into base language text.
