Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for providing translated web content with translated URLs. A request is received content in a second language translated from content in a first language. The content in the first language is obtained from the first Internet source. One or more links are identified from the content in the first language. Each original URL is divided into one or more translatable URL components in the first language. Whether the one or more translatable URL components in each original URL have been previously translated into the second language and stored as translated URL components is determined. If there is at least one translatable URL component previously translated and stored as a corresponding translated URL component, a translated URL in the second language for each original URL is generated. The content in the second language with translated URLs is created.

Claims

1. A method implemented on a computer having at least one processor, storage, and communication platform for providing translated web content with translated Universal Resource Locators (URLs), comprising the steps of:

receiving a request from a user for content in a second language translated from content in a first language that is accessible from a first Internet source;

obtaining the content in the first language from the first Internet source;

identifying, from the content in the first language a link represented by an original URL;

dividing the original URL into one or more translatable URL components, each having text content in the first language;

selecting, from the one or more translatable URL components, a specific translatable URL component including a search engine optimized path generated based on one or more search engine relevant elements present in the content of a webpage in the first language represented by the original URL;

identifying a corresponding translated URL component in the second language for the specific translatable URL component in the first language;

replacing the specific translatable URL component using the corresponding translated URL component to generate a translated URL;

creating the content in the second language with the translated URL; and

sending the content in the second language to the user as a response to the request.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the specific translatable URL component has been previously translated to the corresponding translated URL component via human translation aided by the machine translation.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the specific translatable URL component has been previously translated to the corresponding translated URL component via machine translation edited by a human translator.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

if the specific translatable URL component does not have a corresponding translated URL component in the second language, scheduling for translation of the specific translatable URL component via at least one of machine translation, human translation, and a combination thereof.

5. A method implemented on a computer having at least one processor, storage, and communication platform for providing translated web content with translated URLs, comprising the steps of:

receiving a request from a user for content in a second language translated from content in a first language accessible from a first Internet source;

obtaining the content in the first language from the first Internet source;

identifying, from the content in the first language a link represented by an original URL;

selecting, from the original URL, a specific translatable URL component including a search engine optimized path generated based on one or more search engine relevant elements present in the content of a webpage in the first language represented by the original URL;

identifying a corresponding translated URL component in the second language for the specific translatable URL component in the first language;

replacing the specific translatable URL component using the corresponding translated URL component to generate a translated URL;

creating the content in the second language with the translated URL; and

sending the content in the second language with the translated URL to the user as a response to the request.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the specific translatable URL component has been previously translated to the corresponding translated URL component via human translation aided by the machine translation.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the specific translatable URL component has been previously translated to the corresponding translated URL component via machine translation edited by a human translator.

8. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

if the specific translatable URL component does not have a corresponding translated URL component in the second language, scheduling for translation of the specific translatable URL component via at least one of machine translation, human translation, and a combination thereof.
