Abstract

A method for providing an interpretation service using a messaging application includes receiving a message of a first language in a conversation session provided by the messaging application in a terminal; translating the message of the first language into a message of a second language; and providing the message of the second language in the conversation session. A system to provide a messaging service through a messaging application includes an access manager to manage access of a terminal over a network, and to receive a message of a first language through a conversation session provided by the messaging application; and a processor to translate the message of the first language into a message of a second language, in which the access manager transmits the message of the second language to the terminal over the network to display the message of the second language in the conversation session.

Claims

1. A method for providing an interpretation service using a messaging application, the method comprising:

receiving a message of a first language in a conversation session provided by the messaging application in a terminal;

translating the message of the first language into a message of a second language; and

providing the message of the second language in the conversation session.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the message of the second language comprises transmitting the message of the second language to a target terminal over a network and displaying the message of the second language in the conversation session.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

registering a software bot in the messaging application,

wherein the software bot translates the message of the first language into the message of the second language.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the software bot participates in the conversation session as a participant, and

the software bot provides the translation operation during the conversation session.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the providing the message of the second language comprises transmitting the message of the second language to a target terminal participating in the conversation session.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the message of the second language transmitted to the target terminal is provided to the target terminal through a push notice.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the messaging service is an instant messaging service.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein translating the message of the first language comprises translating the message of the first language into the message of the second language in real-time.

9. A method for providing an interpretation service through a messaging application, the method comprising:

executing a conversation session in the messaging application of a terminal;

receiving a message of a first language in the conversation session;

translating the message of the first language into a message of a second language using a software bot; and

providing the message of the second language in the conversation session.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

recommending the software bot to be registered as a participant in the messaging application, wherein the software bot translates the message of the first language into the message of the second language during the conversation session as a participant.

11. A system to provide a messaging service through a messaging application, the system comprising:

an access manager to manage access of a terminal over a network, and to receive a message of a first language through a conversation session provided by the messaging application; and

a processor to translate the message of the first language into a message of a second language,

wherein the access manager transmits the message of the second language to the terminal over the network to display the message of the second language in the conversation session.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein a software bot translates the message of the first language into the message of the second language during the conversation session as a participant in the conversation session.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein in response to a request, the software bot is registered as a participant in the messaging application.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein if the message of the first language is transmitted to a target terminal participating in the conversation session, the access manager transmits the message of the second language to the target terminal.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the message of the second language transmitted to the target terminal is provided to the target terminal using a push notice.

16. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a database to store at least one of characters, terms, and sentence structure rules of the first language and the second language.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the messaging service is an instant messaging service.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the message of the first language is translated into the message of the second language in real-time.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a program to perform a method for providing a translation operation in an instant messaging application, the method comprising:

receiving a message of a first language in a conversation session provided by the instant messaging application of a terminal;

translating the message of the first language into a message of the second language; and

providing the message of the second language in the conversation session.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a program to perform a method for providing a translation operation in an instant messaging application, the method comprising:

executing a conversation session in the messaging application of a terminal;

receiving a message of a first language in the conversation session;

translating the message of the first language into a message of a second language using a software bot; and

providing the message of the second language in the conversation session.
