Description

Real time translation method by server and system

The present invention relates to a translation system for translating a foreign language into a native language, and more particularly, to a translation system having a plurality of translation environments. More particularly, the present invention relates to a real-time translation system implemented in a web server itself on the Internet.

The Internet has the ability to share information in real time and to connect people with common interests in real time. However, linguistic problems, that is, differences between languages between countries and nations, place many restrictions on the implementation of such Internet functions. Thus, many machine translation programs have emerged and are used to solve these limitations.

The above-mentioned machine translation refers to a technique of translating foreign language text such as English into a native language such as Korean text (or vice versa) by utilizing the processing power of a computer system. We build a database modeling a great deal of knowledge about, and the translation engine proceeds with reference to this database.

However, the conventional machine translation program is limited to a translation program installed and operated on a personal computer, and most of the time, only the level of translating texts of web pages processed on the web is used. There is a problem that does not solve the communication problem of (clients), and does not improve the translation speed. In particular, since Internet chat uses a lot of connotations and slang, it is not only possible to reduce the speed but also to translate itself.

Thus, the problems of the conventional translation system can be summarized as follows. First, the limitation of the language communication aspect of the Internet chat, which can be the most fundamental of the Internet communication functions, has not been solved. It is not used universally except for a specific person. Third, its use is limited to one language. Fourth, in order to use the program, the user must learn how to use it. Sixth, there is a variety of problems that the remarkable translation speed difference according to the user's system specifications.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a translation system having a plurality of translation environments so as to solve the above problems and to achieve user's convenience through real-time translation, such as an Internet service provider or an Internet service provider. It is to provide a real-time translation chat system installed and operated in.

In order to achieve the above object, a feature of the present invention is a server-implemented real-time translation method having a multi-language translation environment, comprising: (a) a data input step for receiving information from a user; A process of separating the user into a single language chat server or a multilingual chat server, and (c) a transition from the multilingual chat server to the appropriate translation environment with the language information and input data of the user in the chat room; d) a translation step of translating language information and data of step (c) into a language suitable for each user; and (e) an output step of sending the result translated in step (d) to each user. In addition, the data translation method further comprises a processing step of separating the user into a single language board server or multiple language board server by using the received information, so that the translation work is performed in the bulletin board environment.

The present invention is characterized by a server implementation real-time translation system having a multi-language translation environment, comprising: (a) a data input unit for receiving information from a user, and (b) a user using a single language-speaking chat server or the like. A chat server separation unit for separating into multiple language chat servers, (c) a translation environment switching unit for converting a language translation information and input data of a user in a chat room into an appropriate translation environment in the multilingual chat server, and (d) the above ( and a translation engine for translating the language information and data of step c) into a language suitable for each user, and (e) an output distribution unit for transmitting the result translated in step (d) to each user. In addition, the data translation system is configured to perform a translation work under a bulletin board environment by further comprising a single language board server and a multiple language board server.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a data flow according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, each user 10 accesses the Internet through an Internet access service 11 of each country, and then connects to a web server 12 running a real-time translation system according to the present invention through an Internet line. do. Users choose their language from the dialog box on the website, choose between single-language or multi-language chats, and press the Enter Chat Room button. Then, the web server 12 connects users to the single-language chat 13 or the multi-language chat server 14 according to the input information, and the multi-language chat server 14 uses each user to input the information. Is connected to a translation engine 15 suitable for a language, enabling communication through mutual data exchange. Here, the data translation system of the present invention is further provided with a single-language bulletin board server 13 'and a multi-language bulletin board server 14', so that the translation work is carried out even under the bulletin board environment.

2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a system configuration of a real-time translation system provided by the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the real-time translation system of the present invention includes a data input unit 20 for receiving a user's name, nationality, language, and preferred chat server connected to the Internet, using a single language chat server 25 or a plurality of languages. Chat server separation unit 21 to separate the language chat server 26, translation environment switching unit 22 for converting the language translation information and input data of the user in the chat room to the appropriate translation environment in the multiple language chat server 26 , A translation engine 24 and a translation engine 24 having a plurality of translation environments 23 for translating the language information and data inputted from the translation environment conversion unit 22 into a language suitable for each user. It is composed of an output distribution unit 27 for transmitting to the user of each language.

The data input unit 20 receives a user's screen name, nationality, and language right. This is a means for increasing the translation efficiency. It is possible to determine what language the text input from the server itself is without a data input unit and send it to a proper translation environment, but this requires a procedure of translating which language in advance. Anyway, when entering a chat room, you need to enter a screen name, so it is most desirable to simply select a language by simple mouse operation.

The chat server separation unit 21 processes the data input when the user selects the desired chat server, so that if the user wants to talk with users who are in a single language, he / she connects to the chat server in a single language, and talks with users in multiple languages. If you want to connect to a multilingual chat server (26).

The reason why the chat server is divided into single and multiple languages is that the translation process puts a lot of pressure on the server, so that users of the single language can talk directly without going through the translation engine. In this case, since the translation process is not necessary, it may consist only of a chat program.

The translation environment switching unit 22 processes the language information and the input data of the user in the chat room and connects it to the translation environment 23 corresponding thereto.

The translation engine 24 is composed of a translation environment 23 such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and English. Korean-language has the function of translating Hangul into English, Hangul into Japanese, Hangul into Chinese, or vice versa, from English to Korean, from Japanese to Korean, and from Chinese to Korean. Japanese, Chinese, and English also have the above translation functions. To characterize these translation engines in chat, the database must be registered with a common translation database, with acronyms and slang commonly used in chats, and updated words to be created so that users can correctly translate what they are trying to say.

The output distribution unit 27 transmits the output result for each user by using the user information in the chat room with the result translated by the translation engine. At this time, the translation work may be slowed down depending on the language, and the resultant translation is temporarily suspended until the translation work of the last language is completed. The reason is that people in the same chat room should share the same information in the same time zone, but if the results are sent to the client in the order of the fastest language translation speed, the users of the languages with low language translation will soon feel alienated. This is because the pursuit of unrestricted friendships and exchanges of information is meaningless. When the translation work for all languages is completed, the server sends the translation result to the client. In this case, it is preferable to divide the window of the user's web browser and output the original in one frame and the translated version in another frame. This is because machine translation is difficult to achieve perfection, and foreign language education is also possible through frequent dialogue with foreigners.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a selection processing routine of a translation environment switching unit.

When the result of the determination blocks S10, S20, S30, and S40 is true, the user input data is connected to the appropriate translation environment by using the linguistic information obtained from the data input unit.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a selection processing routine of the Korean-language translation environment.

S50, S60, S70, and S80 are judgment blocks for judging a language right of a user in a chat room and translating it into a language suitable for each user. To determine the linguistic rights, the linguistic information from the translation environment conversion unit is used. Shown in the figure is a Korean-speaking translation environment, so that a person may have the same language rights in a chat room. If the user has a Japanese-language S30 is true, go to the step of translating Korean to Japanese and outputs the result. The same is true for other translation environments.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the selection processing routine of the output distribution unit.

The judging block S90 determines whether all translation work in the translation engine is finished. The purpose is to send the results to each user at the same time. S100, S110, S120, and S130 are decision blocks for distributing the translated result from the translation engine to the users of each language. If the result of each decision block is true, the translation result is transmitted to the user of each language.

In addition, such a translation job further includes a processing step of separating a user into a single language board server 13 'or a multiple language board server 14' using the inputted information, so that the translation work is performed in the board environment. This is preferred.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the server performs a translation function by installing a real-time translation system having a plurality of translation environments on the server itself, the program purchase cost of the user is reduced, and the time for learning how to use the program is reduced. Regardless of the user's system specification, it is possible to freely socialize and exchange information through conversations with people of various nationalities. In addition, it is possible for Internet operators to characterize the site to increase sales, and to realize real-time voice chat translations and real-time video chat translations of internet operators using real-time voice technology.
