Abstract

A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for multilingual global editing utilizing a network. Initially, text is received in a first language from a first user utilizing a network. Thereafter, the text is translated from the first language to a second language. Such translated text is then transmitted to the first user utilizing the network for allowing the first user to edit the translated text. Thereafter, the edited, translated text may be sent to a second user utilizing the network.

Claims

1. A method for multilingual global editing utilizing a network, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving text in a first language from a first user utilizing a network;

(b) translating the text from the first language to a second language;

(c) transmitting the translated text to the first user utilizing the network;

(d) allowing the first user to edit the translated text; and

(e) sending the edited, translated text to a second user utilizing the network.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the translated text is displayed to the first user on a display device for the allowing the first user to edit the translated text.

3. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein a virtual keyboard is displayed to the first user on a display device for the allowing the first user to edit the translated text.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein the virtual keyboard includes alphanumeric characters in the second language.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the edited, translated text is saved.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the text relates to an apparel industry.

7. A computer program product for multilingual global editing utilizing a network, comprising:

(a) computer code for receiving text in a first language from a first user utilizing a network;

(b) computer code for translating the text from the first language to a second language;

(c) computer code for transmitting the translated text to the first user utilizing the network;

(d) computer code for allowing the first user to edit the translated text; and

(e) computer code for sending the edited, translated text to a second user utilizing the network.

8. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the translated text is displayed to the first user on a display device for the allowing the first user to edit the translated text.

9. The computer program product as recited in claim 8, wherein a virtual keyboard is displayed to the first user on a display device for the allowing the first user to edit the translated text.

10. The computer program product as recited in claim 9, wherein the virtual keyboard includes alphanumeric characters in the second language.

11. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the edited, translated text is saved.

12. The computer program product as recited in claim 7, wherein the text relates to an apparel industry.

14. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the translated text is displayed to the first user on a display device for the allowing the first user to edit the translated text.

15. The system as recited in claim 14, wherein a virtual keyboard is displayed to the first user on a display device for the allowing the first user to edit the translated text.

16. The system as recited in claim 15, wherein the virtual keyboard includes alphanumeric characters in the second language.

17. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the edited, translated text is saved.

18. The system as recited in claim 13, wherein the text relates to an apparel industry.

13. A system for multilingual global editing utilizing a network, comprising:

(a) logic for receiving text in a first language from a first user utilizing a network;

(b) logic for translating the text from the first language to a second language;

(c) logic for transmitting the translated text to the first user utilizing the network;

(d) logic for allowing the first user to edit the translated text; and

(e) logic for sending the edited, translated text to a second user utilizing the network.
