Then, the central processing unit 47 changes the current call route, changes the route from the telephone 1 to the other party via the translation trunk 32 that converts the route from Japanese to English, and also changes the route from the telephone 1 to the other party. In order to change the route from English to Japanese translation switch 33 to the telephone 1, the route is changed by passing the entire control route 51 to the time division switch 53? Let them do it. In addition, control information for connecting all of the PCM channels from the telephone 1 to the Japanese-to-English translation trunk 32 and the POM channel from the other subscriber to the English-to-Japanese translation trunk 33 is passed through the entire control path 49 as an order. The data is then transmitted to the secondary demultiplexer 55, the subhighway 46, the primary demultiplexer 35, the entire control path 42, and then to the automatic translation trunk 36.

The call route changed from the above is from the telephone 1 through the subscriber line 7 to the Toguchi network 3, through the entire path 8 to the primary line concentrator 5, and through the subno-Iway 4 through the secondary multiplexer 54.

Through the English to Japanese translation trunk 33. Furthermore, the route of the voice PcM output as the Japanese POM is as follows: Route 39 goes all the way through the primary multiplexer 34, Subhighway 45 goes all the way through the secondary multiplexer M device 54, Highway 56 goes all the way through the time division switch. 53, Highway 57 all through 2
The sub-highway 15 is passed through the secondary demultiplexer 55, the primary demultiplexer 6 is passed through, the entire path 9 is passed through to the subscriber circuit 3, and the subscriber line 7 is all passed through to the telephone set 1.

If it is not possible to set up a communication path via the translation trunk, the central processing unit fFt 47 orders the information and sends the information through the entire control path 49 to the secondary demultiplexer 55 and through the entire Zabuhai Uni 15. The primary demultiplexer 6 passes the entire control path 13 to the digital subscriber circuit interface processing equipment 4, and passes the information from the digital subscriber circuit interface processing equipment 4 through the entire control path 11 to the digital subscriber circuit 3. , Telephone IVc is transmitted through the entire subscriber line 7 1. From now on, Telephone J follows that information and informs the subscriber that the line cannot be connected by turning on the JD light, 'LCD display, voice, etc. 1, and the normal conversation continues.

As mentioned above, all different languages are spoken27Il]
Even when people are talking on the phone, even if they use a language that they both speak, the other person can hear the language as spoken by the other person, so the conversation can be made smoothly. Furthermore, since it is a human-to-human call, e.g.
Even if there is a mistake in the translation trunk, such as when translating homophones, you can understand the meaning by listening back, so the quality of the call will not deteriorate.

Furthermore, by installing the translation device as a trunk + TVC facility, it can be used commonly by a large number of subscribers, which is economical.

As explained above, the invention is to provide an automatic translation service by installing a -language digital conversion device as various translation trunks in a time division switch, so that the language digital conversion device υ can be used commonly by many telephone subscribers. In the case of a call via the language digital conversion device 6, even if complete translation is not possible due to the performance of the language digital conversion device 6, it is economical and effective because it can be used. , you can understand the front floor by listening back,
This has the effect that the quality of calls is degraded.
