[0002] Translation is the act of converting information in one language into information in another language.

[0003] In the related art, in a translation, there is often a situation where the translation result is inaccurate. For example, the text to be translated is "I plan to go to Liao (Hakka: go to play) tomorrow (Cantonese: tomorrow), Lu Ai Mai (Teochew: do you want to) gotogether (English: together)". When it is translated into Mandarin, the translation result is "I plan to go to Liao Lu Ai Mai gotogether tomorrow"; or the translation result is "I plan to go to Liao Lu Ai Mai together" on the day of translation. It can be seen that the above two translation results are inaccurate. Summary of the invention

[0028] The following is a detailed description of the translation method, device and equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The translation method and device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a first electronic device, which can be a terminal or other devices other than a terminal. Exemplarily, the first electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a vehicle-mounted electronic device, a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) / virtual reality (virtual reality, VR) device, a robot, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a netbook or a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), etc., and can also be a server, a network attached storage (Network Attached Storage, NAS), a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a television (television, TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0030] Figure 1 : is a flowchart of a translation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The translation method may include:

[0031] Step 101: receiving a first input indicating translation of target information;

[0032] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first input in the embodiments of the present application is used to trigger the translation of the target information. The first input in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to: the user's touch input of the translation control through a touch device such as a finger or a stylus, voice command input, specific gesture input, etc.; wherein the touch input includes but is not limited to click input, sliding input, etc., the click input can be a single-click input, a double-click input, or any number of click inputs, and can also be a long press input or a short press input; the specific gesture input can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a drag gesture, a long press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture, and a double-click gesture. The first input in the embodiments of the present application can be set and adaptively modified according to actual needs.

[0033] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, when automatic translation is started, the first input may be an input for inputting target information. When the target information is input, there is no need to trigger translation. At this time, the target information is automatically translated.

[0034] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the target information in the embodiments of the present application may be text, audio, or picture. When the target information is text, the target information can be directly translated; when the target information is audio, the voice needs to be converted into text, and when the target information is audio, the text needs to be recognized from the picture. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the methods used to convert voice into text and recognize text from pictures, and any available methods can be applied to the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] Step 102: In response to the first input, determining the source language corresponding to the target information;

[0036] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the text information corresponding to the target information can be detected using language detection technology to obtain the source language corresponding to the target information. The embodiments of the present application do not elaborate on the process of detecting the text information corresponding to the target information using language detection technology, and the specific process can be referred to the description in the relevant technology.

[0037] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, step 102 may include: determining a language corresponding to a first geographical location where the first electronic device is located as a source language.

[0038] For example, when user A and user B are talking face to face, there is a need for user A to translate what user B said. At this time, the words spoken by user B can be input into the electronic device used for translation (for example, user A's mobile phone), and the geographical location of the electronic device is obtained through the positioning function of the electronic device, for example, Shenzhen; and then the language corresponding to Shenzhen is determined as the source language. For example, it is assumed that the languages ​​used by users in Shenzhen are Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English. Then Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English are all determined as source languages.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, by determining the source language through the geographical location of the first electronic device, the user's translation experience of real-time translation in multilingual countries or regions can be improved, and the accuracy of the translation results can be improved.

[0040] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, step 102 may include: determining the language corresponding to the second geographical location where the first electronic device is located and the language obtained by identifying environmental information as the source language, wherein the environmental information is information obtained by collecting information about the environment where the first electronic device is located using a camera.

[0041] Exemplarily, when user A and user B are talking face to face, there is a need for user A to translate what user B said. At this time, the words spoken by user B can be input into the electronic device used for translation (for example, user A's mobile phone), and the geographical location of the electronic device can be obtained through the positioning function of the electronic device, for example, Shenzhen; assuming that the languages ​​used by users in Shenzhen are Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English. Then, the camera of the electronic device is used to collect environmental information of the electronic device. Assuming that user A and user B are talking at user B's home, the books, newspapers and notes in user B's home are all in French. The result obtained by identifying the environmental information collected by the camera is French, then Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect, English and French are all determined as source languages.

[0042] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, when identifying environmental information captured by a camera, the image captured by the camera can be recognized using optical character recognition (OCR) to identify characters in the image, and then the recognized characters can be detected using language detection technology to obtain the corresponding source language.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, by determining the source language through the geographic location of the first electronic device and identifying the environment, the user's translation experience of real-time translation in multilingual countries or regions can be improved, and the accuracy of translation results can be improved when the user communicates with foreign users locally.

[0044] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, when the target information includes a picture, step 102 may include: obtaining a third geographic location where the picture is taken from attribute information of the picture; and determining the language corresponding to the third geographic location as the source language.

[0045] For example, assume that user B uses his electronic device to take a photo, and allows the acquisition of the geographical location of the electronic device when taking the photo. When the user takes the photo, the geographical location is stored in the attribute information of the photo, and user B sends the photo to user A. User A inputs the photo sent by user B into the electronic device used for translation, and the electronic device acquires the geographical location where the photo was taken from the attribute information of the photo. Assuming that the acquired geographical location is Shenzhen, the language corresponding to the Shenzhen area is determined as the source language.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, determining the source language by obtaining the geographical location where the photo was taken can enhance the user's translation experience when translating pictures of other locations and improve the accuracy of the translation.

[0047] Step 103: When the source language includes a first language and a second language, the target information is translated using a first translation method and a second translation method to obtain a first translation result and a second translation result;

[0048] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first translation method is a translation method for translating a first language into a target language, and the second translation method is a translation method for translating a second language into the target language.

[0049] It should be noted that, when the source languages ​​determined in step 102 include the target language, the target information is translated using only the methods corresponding to the source languages ​​other than the target language among the determined source languages.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the method for determining the target language, and any available method can be applied to the embodiments of the present application, for example, using the language selected by the user as the target language, or using the official language of the country where the user is located as the target language, etc.

[0051] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the source languages ​​determined in step 102 include Mandarin, Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka and English, and the target language is Chinese (ie Mandarin).

[0052] The target information is translated using a translation method of translating Cantonese into Chinese, a translation method of translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, a translation method of translating Hakka dialect into Chinese, and a translation method of translating English into Chinese respectively.

[0053] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the target information can be translated in a multi-device collaborative manner. For example, a user has multiple electronic devices, each of which has the ability to independently process information, and the multiple electronic devices include but are not limited to: mobile phones, smart watches, tablet computers, VR glasses, etc., and Internet of Things (IOT) devices such as smart TVs or smart speakers. Then, multiple electronic devices can be used to translate the target information separately. Based on this, step 103 may include: sending the target information and the indication information to the second electronic device and the third electronic device, wherein the indication information is used to instruct the second electronic device to translate the target information in a first translation mode, and the third electronic device to translate the target information in a second translation mode; receiving the first translation result obtained by the translation target information sent by the second electronic device and receiving the second translation result obtained by the translation target information sent by the third electronic device.

[0054] Exemplarily, assuming that the target language is Chinese (Mandarin), the determined source languages ​​include Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka and English, and the instruction information may be that the mobile phone translates the target information by translating Cantonese into Chinese, the smart watch translates the target information by translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, the tablet computer translates the target information by translating Hakka into Chinese, and the VR glasses translate the target information by translating English into Chinese. The first electronic device sends the target information and the indication information to the mobile phone, smart watch, tablet computer and VR glasses. After receiving the target information and the indication information, the mobile phone translates the target information by translating Cantonese into Chinese, the smart watch translates the target information by translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, the tablet computer translates the target information by translating Hakka dialect into Chinese, and the VR glasses translates the target information by translating English into Chinese; the mobile phone, smart watch, tablet computer and VR glasses send their respective translation results of the target information to the first electronic device, and the first electronic device receives the translation results sent by the mobile phone, smart watch, tablet computer and VR glasses.

[0055] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, before sending the target information and the indication information to the second electronic device and the third electronic device, the translation method provided by the embodiments of the present application may also include: determining the translation methods used by the second electronic device and the third electronic device to translate the target information respectively according to the distances of the second electronic device and the third electronic device to the first electronic device respectively and / or the performance of the second electronic device and the third electronic device and the proportions of users corresponding to the first language and the second language respectively.

[0056] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, determining the translation methods used by the second electronic device and the third electronic device to translate the target information respectively according to the distances of the second electronic device and the third electronic device from the first electronic device and / or the performance of the second electronic device and the third electronic device and the proportion of users corresponding to the first language and the second language respectively may include: sorting the first language and the second language according to the proportion of users corresponding to the first language and the second language respectively and sorting the second electronic device and the third electronic device according to the distances of the second electronic device and the third electronic device from the first electronic device and / or the performance of the second electronic device and the third electronic device; determining the translation methods used by the second electronic device and the third electronic device to translate the target information respectively according to the sorting order of the first language and the second language and the sorting order of the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

[0057] Exemplarily, user B is a guest at user A's home, and there is a need for user A to translate what user B said. The geographical location of the first electronic device is obtained through the positioning function of the first electronic device, for example, Shenzhen. Assume that the languages ​​used by users in Shenzhen are Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English, and the proportions of users of Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English are 25%, 24%, 23%, 22% and 6% respectively. The target language is Chinese. The distance from the mobile phone to the first electronic device is less than the distance from the smart watch to the first electronic device, the distance from the smart watch to the first electronic device is less than the distance from the tablet computer to the first electronic device, and the distance from the tablet computer to the first electronic device is less than the distance from the VR glasses to the first electronic device. It can be determined that the mobile phone uses a translation method of translating Cantonese into Chinese to translate the target information, the smart watch uses a translation method of translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese to translate the target information, the tablet computer uses a translation method of translating Hakka dialect into Chinese to translate the target information, and the VR glasses use a translation method of translating English into Chinese to translate the target information.

[0058] As another example, user B is a guest at user A's home, and there is a need for user A to translate what user B said. The geographical location of the first electronic device is obtained through the positioning function of the first electronic device, for example, Shenzhen. Assume that the languages ​​used by users in Shenzhen are Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka and English, and the proportions of users of Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka and English are 25%, 24%, 23%, 22% and 6% respectively. The target language is Chinese. The performance of the tablet computer is better than that of the mobile phone, the performance of the mobile phone is better than that of the VR glasses, and the performance of the VR glasses is better than that of the smart watch. It can be determined that the tablet computer translates the target information using the translation method of translating Cantonese into Chinese, the mobile phone translates the target information using the translation method of translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, the VR glasses translate the target information using the translation method of translating Hakka into Chinese, and the smart watch translates the target information using the translation method of translating English into Chinese.

[0059] As another example, user B is a guest at user A's home, and there is a need for user A to translate what user B said. The geographical location of the first electronic device is obtained through the positioning function of the first electronic device, for example, Shenzhen. Assume that the languages ​​used by users in Shenzhen are Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English, and the proportions of users of Mandarin, Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka dialect and English are 25%, 24%, 23%, 22% and 6% respectively. The target language is Chinese. According to the distance of the mobile phone, smart watch, tablet computer, VR glasses to the first electronic device and the performance of the mobile phone, smart watch, tablet computer, and VR glasses, the comprehensive scores of the mobile phone, smart watch, tablet computer, and VR glasses are determined. Assume that the comprehensive score of the tablet computer is greater than the comprehensive score of the mobile phone, the comprehensive score of the mobile phone is greater than the comprehensive score of the VR glasses, and the comprehensive score of the VR glasses is greater than the comprehensive score of the smart watch. It can be determined that the tablet computer translates the target information by translating Cantonese into Chinese, the mobile phone translates the target information by translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, the VR glasses translate the target information by translating Hakka dialect into Chinese, and the smart watch translates the target information by translating English into Chinese.

[0060] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the methods used to determine the distances from the second electronic device and the third electronic device to the first electronic device, respectively. Any available methods can be applied to the embodiments of the present application.

[0061] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, different weights can be set for different distances, and different weights can also be set for different performances. When determining the comprehensive scores of the second electronic device and the third electronic device, the distance and performance can be weighted and summed to obtain the comprehensive scores of the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

[0062] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, when translating the target information in a multi-device collaborative manner, factors such as the remaining power, CPU utilization, and memory utilization of the second electronic device and the third electronic device may also be considered.

[0063] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the number of electronic devices owned by the user may be less than the number of source language types. For example, the determined source languages are Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka, and English, and the user proportions of Cantonese, Chaoshan dialect, Hakka, and English are 24%, 23%, 22%, and 6% respectively. The electronic devices owned by the user are mobile phones, smart watches, and tablet computers. Determine the comprehensive scores of the mobile phones, smart watches, and tablet computers. Assume that the comprehensive score of the tablet computer is greater than the comprehensive score of the mobile phone, and the comprehensive score of the mobile phone is greater than the comprehensive score of the smart watch. Then it can be determined that the tablet computer translates the target information using the translation method of translating Cantonese into Chinese and using the translation method of translating English into Chinese, the mobile phone translates the target information using the translation method of translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, and the smart watch translates the target information using the translation method of translating Hakka into Chinese.

[0064] Step 104: Synthesize the first valid translation part in the first translation result and the second valid translation part in the second translation result to obtain a third translation result.

[0065] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the first valid translation part is the part belonging to the target language in the first translation result, and the second valid translation part is the part belonging to the target language in the second translation result. It can be understood that the first translation part is the part different from the target information in the first translation result, and the second translation part is the part different from the target information in the second translation result; the part identical to the target information refers to the part that cannot be translated when translating the target information using the translation method; the part different from the target information refers to the part other than the part identical to the target information in the translation result.

[0066] Exemplarily, assume that the target information is: Tomorrow don't need to go to work, what day is it, come out the material? together. Among them, the language of "Tomorrow don't need to go to work" in the target information is Cantonese, the language of "what day is it" in the target information is Chaoshan dialect, the language of "Hakka" in the target information is Cantonese, and the language of "together" in the target information is English.

[0067] Using the translation method of translating Cantonese into Chinese to translate "Tomorrow don't need to go to work, what day is it, come out the material? together.", the result obtained is: Tomorrow don't need to go to work, what day is it, come out the material? together. The valid translation part is "Tomorrow don't need to go to work".

[0068] Using the translation method of translating Chaoshan dialect into Chinese to translate "Tomorrow don't need to go to work, what day is it, come out the material? together.", the result obtained is: Tomorrow don't need to go to work, tomorrow morning, come out the material? together. The valid translation part is "tomorrow morning".

[0069] Translate the sentence "听日唔使返工,吗日道,出来料?together。" using the translation method of translating Hakka into Chinese. The resulting translation is: 听日唔使返工,吗日道,出来玩吗?together。 The effective translation part is "出来玩吗?".

[0070] Translate the sentence "听日唔使返工,吗日道,出来料?together。" using the translation method of translating English into Chinese. The resulting translation is: 听日唔使返工,吗日道,出来料?一起。 The effective translation part is "一起".

[0071] It can be understood that the effective translation part in the embodiments of the present application can also refer to the part in the translation result that is different from the target information.

[0072] Combine the above-mentioned effective translation parts to obtain the translation result: 明天不用上班,明天上午,出来玩吗?一起。

[0073] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, Figure 2 is the first schematic diagram of the translation process provided by the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 is the second schematic diagram of the translation process provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0074] In Figure 2 , translate the target information "听日唔使返工,吗日道,出来料?together。" using the translation methods of translating Cantonese into Chinese, Chaoshan dialect into Chinese, Hakka into Chinese, and English into Chinese respectively, and then combine the effective translation parts in each translation result to obtain the final translation result. In Figure 3 In, translate the text in the picture shown in Figure 3 to obtain the corresponding translation result.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, a first input indicating translation of target information is received; in response to the first input, the source language corresponding to the target information is determined; in the case where the source language includes the first language and the second language, the target information is translated using the first translation method and the second translation method respectively to obtain a first translation result and a second translation result; the first valid translation part in the first translation result and the second valid translation part in the second translation result are synthesized to obtain a third translation result. In this way, by translating the target information using the first translation method and the second translation method to obtain the first translation result and the second translation result, the first valid translation part in the first translation result and the second valid translation part in the second translation result are synthesized to obtain the final translation result. Compared with the related art, the final translation result obtained by the embodiment of the present application is accurate and can improve the accuracy of the translation.

In this way, by translating the target information using the first translation method and the second translation method to obtain the first translation result and the second translation result, the first valid translation part in the first translation result and the second valid translation part in the second translation result are synthesized to obtain the final translation result. Compared with the related art, the final translation result obtained by the embodiment of the present application is accurate and can improve the accuracy of the translation.
