Detailed Description of Exemplary Embodiments
[0017] The present technology allows documents to be translated based on content associated therewith. More specifically, given a plurality of available translation engines, a preferred translation engine most likely to perform the highest quality translation for a particular document can be automatically determined. The preferred translation engine may be associated with subject matter similar to content included in that particular document. Furthermore, while the present technology is described herein in the context of textual translations, the principals disclosed can likewise be applied to speech translations such as when employed in conjunction with speech recognition technologies.
[0018] Referring now to FIG. 1 , a block diagram of an exemplary environment 100 for practicing embodiments of the present technology is shown. As depicted, the environment 100 includes a computing device 105, a web server 130 and application server 135 that provide a translation system, and a third-party web server 150 that provides third-party website content 155. Communication between the computing device 105, web server 130, and third-party web server 150 is provided by a network 125. Examples of the network 125 include a wide area network (WAN), local area network (LAN), the Internet, an intranet, a public network, a private network, a combination of these, or some other data transfer network. Examples of the computing device 105 include a desktop personal computer (PC), a laptop PC, a pocket PC, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a cellular phone, a portable translation device, and so on. Web server 130, application server 135 and third-party web server 150 may each be implemented as one or more servers. An exemplary computing system for implementing computing device 105, web server 130, application server 135 and third-party web server 150 is described in further detail in connection with FIG. 6 . Additionally, other various components (not depicted) that are not necessary for describing the present technology may also be included in the environment 100, in accordance with exemplary embodiments.
[0019] The computing device 105 may include a network browser 110. The network browser may retrieve, present, and traverse and otherwise process information located on a network, including content pages. For example, network browser 110 can be implemented as a web browser which can process a content page in the form of a web page. Network browser 110 may provide an interface as part of a content page or web page. The interface can be implemented from content page data received from the third-party web server 150 or web server 130. Via the interface, computing device 105 can receive an indication from a user to perform an optimal translation of a document. The user may provide the indication via the document itself, location data for the document such as a link (e.g., URL) associated with the document, or other information. The indication may convey a desire to obtain a highly accurate translation based on content included in or associated with the document. The indication may be forwarded either to the third-party web server 150 or the web server 130 via the network 125.
[0020] The computing device 105 may include client translation application 120. The client translation application 120 may be a stand-alone executable application residing and executing, at least in part, on the client application and provide an interface for selecting content to have translated. The client translation application 120 may communicate directly with the web server 130, the application server 135, or the third-party web server 150. In the description herein, it is intended that any functionality performed translation application 140, including providing an interface for implementing various functionality, can also be implanted by the client translation application 120. In some embodiments, client translation application 120 may be implemented in place of translation application 140, which is indicated by the dashed lines comprising client translation application 120 in FIG. 1 .
[0021] The web server 130 may communicate both with the application server 135 and over the network 125, for example to provide content page data to the computing device 105 for rendering in the network browser 110. The content page data may be used by the network browser 110 to provide an interface for selecting an indication of a document to translate, whether stored over a network or locally to the computing device 105. The web server 130 can also receive data associated with an indication from the computing device 105. The web server 130 may process the received indication and/or provide the indication, and optionally any document data, to the application server 135 for processing by translation application 140.
[0022] The application server 135 communicates with web server 130 and other applications, for example the client translation applications 120, and includes the translation application 140. The translation application 140 can determine various attributes relating to the document and available translation engines, and generate a translated version of the document, as discussed in further detail herein. The translated document may be transmitted to a user over the network 125 by the application server 135 and the web server 130, for example, through the computing device 105.
[0023] The translation application 140 may be part of a translation system that translates documents based on content associated therewith. Generally speaking, the translation application 140 receives an indication to translate a document such as via the network browser 110 and then accesses the document. The translation application 140 then, based on content associated with the document, identifies an available translation engine as a preferred translation engine. The preferred translation engine is most likely to produce the most accurate translation of the document relative to other available translation engines. The preferred translation engine generates a translated document, which is returned to the user. The translation application 140 is described in further detail in connection with FIG. 2 . Furthermore, although the translation application 140 is depicted as being a single component of the environment 100, it is noteworthy that the translation application 140 and constituent elements thereof may be distributed across several computing devices that operate in concert via the network 125.
[0024] In some embodiments, a content page for allowing a user to configure translation parameters can be provided to that user through the network browser 110. The translation configuration content page can be provided to the network browser 110 by the web server 130 and/or by the third-party web server 150. When provided by the third-party web server 150, the third-party web server 150 may access and retrieve information from the translation system (i.e., the web server 130 and/or the application server 135) to provide a content page having an interface for configuring. In exemplary embodiments, the translation application 140 is accessed by the third-party web server 150. A graphical user interface (GUI) may be implemented within a content page by the third-party web server 150, rendered in the network browser 110, and accessed by a user via the network browser 110 of the computing device 105. According to exemplary embodiments, the GUI can enable a user to identify a document to be translated and select various options related to translating the documents. Such options may include those relating to pricing or translation quality level. In some embodiments, a user can make a selection among several available translation engines via the GUI provided by the third-party website content 155.
[0025] According to some exemplary embodiments, the third-party web server 150 may not necessarily provide a translation configuration content page but, instead, may provide content pages containing text. As such, a content page provided by the third-party web server 150 may itself comprise a document to be translated. That is, a user may view a webpage in a source language (e.g., English or French) through the network browser 110 from a content page received from the third-party web server 150. The user may provide input to subsequently view the webpage in a different language (e.g., Spanish). The translation application 140 may access and translate the text provided within the content page, and return a translated version to the network browser 110 or the third-party web server 150 in accordance with embodiments of the present technology.
[0026] FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the exemplary translation application 140 invoked in the environment 100. The translation application 140, as depicted, includes a communications module 205, an interface module 210, a recommendation engine 215, and a plurality of translation engines 220a-220n. Although FIG. 2 depicts translation engines 220a-220n, the translation application 140 may comprise any number of translation engines and may be in communication with other translation engines via the network 125. Each of the translation engines 220a-220n is respectively associated with one of the training datasets 225a-225n. The training datasets 225a-225n may or may not be included in the translation application 140. Programs comprising engines and modules of the translation application 140 may be stored in memory of a computing system such as the computing device 105, the web server 130, the application server 135, the third-party web server 150, or any computing device that includes the translation application 140. Additionally, the constituent engines and modules can be executed by a processor of a computing system to effectuate respective functionalities attributed thereto. It is noteworthy that the translation application 140 can be composed of more or fewer modules and engines (or combinations of the same) and still fall within the scope of the present technology. For example, the functionalities of the communications module 205 and the functionalities of the interface module 210 may be combined into a single module or engine.
[0027] When executed, the communications module 205 allows an indication to be received via a user interface to perform an optimal translation of a document from a source language to a target language. Such a user interface may include the network browser 110 or a GUI provided by the third-party website content 155. The communications module 205 may also facilitate accessing the document to be translated such as in response to an indication by a user. The document can be accessed based on location information associated with the document. Additionally, the document can be downloaded from the computing device 105, the third-party web server 150, or any other site or device accessible via the network 125. Furthermore, the communications module 205 can be executed such that a translated document is outputted from the translation application 140 to devices accessible via the network 125 (e.g., the computing device 105).
[0028] The interface module 210 can be executed to provide a graphical user interface through network browser 110, for example as a content page, that enables a user to select an optimal translation or an alternate translation. The alternate translation may be associated with a user-selected translation engine among the translation engines 220a-220n. The graphical user interface may also provide various options to a user relating to, for example, pricing or translation quality level. According to various embodiments, the graphical user interface may be presented to a user as a content page for network browser 110 via the third-party web server 150 or directly by client translation application 120 at the computing device 105.
[0029] According to exemplary embodiments, the recommendation engine 215 is executable to identify a preferred translation engine based on content associated with a document to be translated. The preferred translation engine is most likely to produce the most accurate translation of the document relative to the rest of the available translation engines 220a-220n. The recommendation engine 215 is described in further detail in connection with FIG. 3 .
[0030] Each of the translation engines 220a-220n comprises a machine translation engine capable of translating from a source language to a target language. Such translation capability may result from training the translation engines 220a-220n on various training data. Higher translation accuracy can be achieved for domain-specific translations when a machine translation engine is trained using a training dataset associated with the same domain or similar subject matter as documents being translated. For example, a translation of a car-repair manual may be of higher quality if the machine translation engine employed was trained using a car-repair-domain-specific training dataset compared to, say, a general training dataset or an unrelated-domain-specific training dataset.
[0031] As depicted in FIG. 2 , each of the translation engines 220a-220n is associated with one of the training datasets 225a-225n. According to other exemplary embodiments, a given translation engine 220 can be associated with any number of training datasets. The training datasets 225a-225n may each be domain-specific or generic. Accordingly, each of the translation engines 220a-220n may be associated with different subject matter. For example, the translation engine 220a may be associated with consumer electronics, while the translation engine 220b may be associated with agriculture. As such, a document related to some particular subject matter may be translated best by a translation engine 220 associated with the same or closely related subject matter.
[0032] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the exemplary recommendation engine 215 included in the translation application 140. The recommendation engine may identify a preferred translation engine among the translation engines 220a-220n based on content associated with the document by employing one or more constituent modules. The depicted recommendation engine 215 includes a predictor module 305, an alignment module 310, a keyword module 315, and a translation evaluation module 320, all of which may be stored in memory and executed by a processor to effectuate the functionalities attributed thereto. Furthermore, the recommendation engine 215 can be composed of more or fewer modules (or combinations of the same) and still fall within the scope of the present technology. For example, the functionalities of the alignment module 310 and the functionalities of the keyword module 315 may be combined into a single module or engine.
[0033] The predictor module 305 can be executed to predict a translation quality associated with each of the translation engines 220a-220n for a given document or batch of documents to be translated. Such a quality prediction can be based, for example, on previous translations performed by the translation engines 220a-220n. The quality prediction may also be based on user feedback. The translation engine having the highest translation quality prediction may be selected as the preferred translation engine.
[0034] Execution of the alignment module 310 allows a degree of alignment to be measured between content associated with a given document and content included in each of the training datasets 225a-225n. For example, if a document to be translated is an article by the French historian, René Girard, a training dataset 225 related to French or European history may possess is closer degree of alignment compared to a training dataset 225 related to jazz instruments. Degrees of alignment may be measured using, for example, various cross-correlation techniques. A translation engine 220 associated with the training dataset 225 having the closest degree of alignment may be selected as the preferred translation engine.
[0035] The keyword module 315 is executable to identify and/or track keywords included in the training datasets 225a-225n and in documents to be translated, in accordance with exemplary embodiments. Keywords may be tagged, and may allow a document or training dataset 225 to be categorized. A translation engine 220 associated with a training dataset 225 having keywords related to those of a document to be translated may be selected as the preferred translation engine.
[0036] The translation evaluation module 320 may be executed to evaluate translations of a given document generated by each of the translation engines 220a-220n for accuracy. The most accurate translation may then be identified. The translation engine 220 associated with the most accurate translation may be selected as the preferred translation engine.
[0037] FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an exemplary method 400 for translating documents based on content. The steps of the method 400 may be performed in varying orders. Additionally, steps may be added or subtracted from the method 400 and still fall within the scope of the present technology.
[0038] In step 405, an indication to perform an optimal translation of a document from a source language to a target language is received. The indication may be ultimately communicated to the translation application 140 from the computing device 105. For example, the indication may be received through an interface provided through the network browser 110 or an interface provided by the client translation application 120. When received through an interface provided by the network browser 110, the interface can be provided from a content page provided by the web server 130 or the third-party web server 150. The indication may also be received by any computing device that includes the translation application 140.
[0039] In step 410, a translated document is generated that includes text in the target language. The translated document may be generated using a preferred translation engine among a plurality of available translation engines (e.g., the translation engines 220a-220n). The preferred translation engine is the translation engine most likely to produce the most accurate translation of the document among the plurality of available translation engines, such as may be determined by the recommendation engine 215. According to various embodiments, the preferred translation engine may reside on the computing device 105, the third-party web server 150, the web server 130, the application server 135, or some other device.
[0040] In step 415, the translated document is outputted, such as by a computing device. The communications module 205 can be executed to output the translated document from the translation application 140 to devices accessible via the network 125 such as the computing device 105, in accordance with exemplary embodiments. Examples of suitable output formats include a content page (e.g., web page) which can be viewed through network browser 110, emailed text, or other format.
[0041] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of another exemplary method 500 for translating documents based on content. The steps of the method 500 may be performed in varying orders. Steps may also be added or subtracted from the method 500 and still fall within the scope of the present technology.
[0042] In step 505, a document that includes text in a source language is accessed, such as by a computing device. The communications module 205 may facilitate accessing the document to be translated such as in response to an indication by a user. The document can also be accessed based on location information associated with the document. Additionally, the document can be downloaded from the computing device 105, the third-party web server 150, or any other site or device accessible via the network 125.
[0043] In step 510, the document is translated into a target language using a preferred translation engine to obtain a translated document. The preferred translation engine is the most likely to produce the most accurate translation of the document among the plurality of available translation engines, such as may be determined by the recommendation engine 215. The preferred translation engine may be identified based on content associated with the document. According to various embodiments, the preferred translation engine may reside on the computing device 105, the third-party web server 150, or a server implementing the translation application 140.
[0044] In step 515, the translated document is outputted, such as by a computing device. The translated document may be outputted from the translation application 140 to devices accessible via the network 125 such as the computing device 105 by way of execution of the communications module 205.
[0045] FIG. 6 illustrates an exemplary computing system 600 that may be used to implement an embodiment of the present technology. The computing system 600 may be implemented in the contexts of the likes of the computing device 105, a server implementing the third-party website content 155, and a server implementing the translation application 140.
