1. A method implemented in a computer infrastructure, comprising:
- obtaining field oriented electronic document data from an input document, wherein the document data is in a non-natural language form;
determining, using a translation engine, from one of a plurality of data types, a data type of the document data via communication with a detection and conversion database;
selecting, based on the determined data type, appropriate conversion information records from plural different translation data stored in the detection and conversion database and corresponding to plural different data types;
translating, using the translation engine and the appropriate conversion information records, based on the determined data type, the document data to a natural language form; and
outputting, in natural language form, the translated document data to an output data stream, whereinthe plurality of data types comprises;
document header data;
document field data;
table header data;
table detail data; and
signature data.

Abstract
Converting technical data from field oriented electronic data sources into natural language form is disclosed. An approach includes obtaining document data from an input document, wherein the document data is in a non-natural language form. The approach includes determining a data type of the document data from one of a plurality of data types defined in a detection and conversion database. The approach includes translating the document data to a natural language form based on the determined data type. The approach additionally includes outputting the translated document data in natural language form to an output data stream.

15. A system implemented in hardware, comprising:
a processor executing a translation engine that is configured to; obtain field oriented electronic document data from an input document, wherein the document data is in a form other than a natural language form; determine, via communication with a detection and conversion database comprising records defining a plurality of data types, a data type of the document data; translate, based on the determined data type and appropriate conversion information records selected from plural different translation data stored in a detection and conversion database, the document data to natural language form; and output, in natural language form, the translated document data to an output data stream, wherein each one of the records is associated with a respective one of the plurality of data types, each one of the records comprises data used in comparisons against the document data during the determining, each one of the records further comprises at least one conversion rule applied to the document data during the translating, and the plurality of data types comprises;
document header data;
document field data;
table header data;
table detail data; and
signature data.- View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
