Abstract

A translation and teaching system for sending text messages over a telecommunication pathway sent by users in a first language received by a server, a comparison database of a second language for matching, converting the text into a second language upon making the match, a translator for converting the first text transmission into the second language if no match is made into a second transmission, a processor in the server for analyzing the conversion of the transmission for accuracy, and a data path to send the transmission to the user. The system may have a pre-processor that recognizes linguistic irregularities and modifies them to conform to the second language'"'"'s pre-stored standard grammar and a human linguist platform for post verification of the translation. The system also generates learning lessons for user in language, a learning dictionary that groves with user input, and the addition of third party content for lessons.

Claims

1. A translation system for sending messages over a telecommunication pathway comprising:

a first text SMS transmission sent by a user on a transmission path of a telecommunication provider in a first language received by a server;

a comparison database on said server of a second language for matching with said transmission in said first language;

a converter in said database for converting said transmission into a second language upon making said match;

a translator for converting said first transmission into said second language if no match is made into a second transmission;

a processor in said server for analyzing said conversion of said transmission for accuracy; and

a data path for said second transmission on said carrier for said telecommunication provider to send said transmission to said user.

2. A translation system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising delivery of a translated message to a user of said first transmission.

3. A translation system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising delivery to said user a teaching lesson on a pre-determined timed basis.

4. A translation system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising delivery to said user of at least one of the following:

reading materials, exercises, activities, tests or quizzes.

5. A translation system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a dictionary of phrases for matching between two languages.

6. A translation system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an interactive dictionary that adds words or phrases through artificial intelligence.

7. A computerized translation system comprising:

a server for reception of a message to be translated over a telecommunication pathway;

a language module on said server that configures a first and second language pair for machine translation;

a language calling module that calls translation language modules on said server for matching of said language pairs;

a real-time translator on a server that translates said message from a source language text to target language text;

a translation evaluator that checks the accuracy of each translation result to make sure a serviceable translation; and

a message delivery of said translation result to a user.

8. A translation system as claimed in claim 7 wherein said telecommunication pathway is an SMS/MMS gateway.

9. A translation system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising a human-machine interactive platform to provide translation verification.

10. A translation system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising an interactive dictionary of words or phrases based on user input.

11. A translation system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising delivery from said server to said user of at least one of the following:

reading materials, exercises, activities, tests or quizzes.

12. A translation system as claimed in claim 7 further comprising a pre-processor on said server that recognizes linguistic irregularities, including lexical errors, misspellings, syntactical errors and synonyms and modifies said irregularities to conform to said second language'"'"'s pre-stored standard grammar.

13. A translation system as claimed in Maim 7 further comprising delivery of language lessons on a pre-determined timed basis.

14. A computerized translation method on an SMS/MMS gateway comprising:

translating a message delivered to a server from a user through an SMS/MMS gateway between two languages to recognize a first language message and translate it into a target second language;

pre-processing on said server that recognizes linguistic irregularities, including lexical errors, misspellings, syntactical errors and synonyms and modifies said irregularities to conform to said second language'"'"'s pre-stored standard grammar;

delivery of said machine translated message to a human linguist platform for post verification that operates on said machine translation for review; and

delivery to the SMS/MMS gateway of said finished translation to said user.

15. A translation method as claimed in claim 14 further comprising the step of providing a human-machine interactive platform to provide translation verification.

16. A translation method as claimed in claim 14 further comprising the step of delivering language lessons on a pre-determined timed basis.

17. A translation method as claimed in claim 14 further comprising the step of delivering to said user at least one of the following:

reading materials, exercises, activities, tests or quizzes.

18. A translation method as claimed in claim 14 further comprising the step of adding words or phrases to an interactive dictionary based on user input.

19. A translation method as claimed in claim 14 further comprising the step of matching stored words and phrases from said second language with said user input in said first language.

20. A translation method as claimed in claim 14 further comprising the step of receiving third party content for teaching lessons.
