Abstract

A process integration system to interface between a sender system and a receiver system is described. The process integration system has a sender adapter, an integration engine, a receiver adapter, and a language converter module. The sender adapter receives a communication in a first language from the sender system. The communication is in a first format of the sender system. The sender adapter converts the communication into a second format of the process integration system, and the integration engine identifies the receiver system from the communication in the second format. The receiver adapter converts the communication from the second format to a third format of the receiver system, and sends the communication in the third format and in a second language to the receiver system. The language converter module translates the communication in the third format to the second language associated with the receiver system.

translating the second communication in the third format to the second language associated with the receiver system; and

sending the second communication in the second language and in the third format to the receiver system.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a second communication in the first language from the sender system, the second communication in the first format of the sender system;

converting the second communication into the second format of the process integration system;

identifying the receiver system from the second communication in the second format;

converting the second communication from the second format to the third format of the receiver system;

translating the second communication in the third format to a third language associated with the receiver system; and

sending the communication in the third format and in the third language to the receiver system.

10. A process integration system comprising:
