AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a system that helps manage translating documents for websites and other non-text files. It has a user-friendly interface that allows users to easily update the language content of a website or document. This improves the maintenance and storage of multi-lingual electronic content.

Problems solved by technology

The majority of Web sites are created in English which creates a problem for non-English speaking Internet users.
This also creates a problem for Web site managers that maintain Web sites that are, or attempt to be, multilingual.
Unfortunately, errors occur in the translation and the appropriate content is not consistently displayed to the user.
This creates a storage and file management problem on the Web server because of the duplication of each entire page of the Web site.
This approach has storage and maintenance problems because each error message must be duplicated in its entirety for each language.

4.4.3 Information Log

[0682]The InformationLog records information about WebPlexer language and country selection. An entry is written whenever language or country changes, whether automatically or by manual selection.

[0683]The format of an InformationLog entry is:

where the fields are defined as follows

[0684]Remote hostname (or IP address if DNS hostname is not available).

[0685]The remote logname of the user.

[0686]The username by which the user has authenticated himself.

[0687]Date and time of the request.

[0688]Status information pertaining to country or language processing.

[0689]Examples of InformationLog entries are:

pc113.fiz-karlsruhe.de--[01 / Aug / 1996:01:55:13 -0700] Country Selection:

pc113.fiz-karlsruhe.de-->Germany

pc113.fiz-karlsruhe.de--[01 / Aug / 1996:01:55:13-0700] Language Set:

[0712]Countries must be chosen from the list of valid countries for WebPlexer. See Appendix C., “List of Available Countries.”

[0713]The WP_Regions file contains only user-defined regions. WebPlexer also maintains a set of pre-defined (default) regions. These are listed in Appendix D., “List of WebPlexer Default Regions.”

[0714]“Determining the country_or_region_directory,” further describes the interaction and relationship between pre-defined (default) and user-defined regions.

Abstract

A translation management system in a computer environment. A preferred embodiment of the invention automatically detects when a document, data stream, or non-text file in the master language has been updated and notifies the user which corresponding documents, data streams, or non-text files in the other languages require translation which are then staged and dynamically routed and sequenced to individual translation resources where the actual translation is performed. Management status, reporting, scheduling, and accounting information is sent to the user as the translation process ensues. The user is notified of the completion of translation and the invention coordinates the delivery of the translated documents, data streams, or non-text files back to the user's site for installation and optional review. The invention makes a variety of translation resources instantly available to the user which include both automated translation tools as well as human translators. The translation resources are connected to the invention using a flexible architecture that can be deployed on intranets as well as the Internet.
