Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of language translation, and in particular to a distributed language translation method, device and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the surge of face-to-face scenarios such as cross-border tourism, business negotiations, international exhibitions, and the like, the demand for "instant bilingual conversation" has changed from an "optional item" to a "necessity". The traditional solution is for both parties to open a mobile phone APP, take turns pressing the keys to speak and wait for the broadcast, with the screen and speaker exposed to the outside, which not only destroys the sense of privacy but also lengthens the interaction rhythm; once the environment is noisy, the recognition rate drops sharply, and the experience is fragmented. In order to balance "portability" and "exclusivity", the currently available translation earphones split the complete system into two independent earphones, each side retaining only the most simplified acoustic front end and wireless module, and defining the left and right ears as one-way channels, with the left ear responsible for "listening to Chinese translation into foreign language" and the right ear responsible for "listening to foreign language translation into Chinese", and the two machines exchange text and audio in real time through a Bluetooth link to avoid cross-talk. Users each take one and insert it into the ear canal, with Chinese speech naturally entering the left side and foreign language speech naturally entering the right side, and after conversion by a cloud or local engine, the speech is transmitted back to the other ear, creating the illusion of "each listening to their own native language" on the surface.

[0003] However, the existing technology encounters network environment that is not good, and the voice stream of the cloud or external device cannot continue to be transferred, and the conversation is instantly interrupted. Moreover, the left and right responsibilities are fixed, so that a single earphone cannot independently complete bidirectional translation, and if one is lost, the entire machine is scrapped, which virtually increases the cost of continuous use and maintenance. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of translation interruption caused by the dependence of the current translation device on the transmission of external translation signals, a new technology is needed to solve the current problem.

The second broadcasting system is placed at the Chinese user position, and the second microphone collects the Chinese language signal of the Chinese user, which can be more limited to the Cantonese language signal or the Minnan language signal in some scenarios. The second microphone transmits the Chinese language signal to the first broadcasting system.
