Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the aspects of this application, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application while combining the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of this application.

[0020] In some application scenarios, to meet the needs of users' cross-lingual communication, the instant messenger supports the "translate while inputting" function, that is, when the user inputs the original message text in the input box, a translation text area is displayed above the input box, and based on the original message text input by the user, the message translation text is displayed in the translation text area. For example, as shown in Figure 1a, the client automatically turns on the "translate while inputting" function of the instant messenger for the user. The conversation input interface includes an input box 101 and a translation text area 102. When the user inputs the original text in the input box 101, the corresponding translation text is displayed in the translation text area 102. When the user inputs a message in the input box 101, as shown in the upper figure of Figure 1b, a usage control 103 may be displayed in the translation text area, and at the same time, a shortcut key corresponding to the usage control 103 may be further displayed. When the user triggers the usage control 103 in the translation text area, as shown in the lower figure of Figure 1b, the translation text is displayed in the input box. In response to the send operation triggered by the user, the translation text is sent.

[0021] If it is found that the user needs to modify the message before sending the translated text, the user needs to manually modify it in the translated text or delete all the content and re-enter the original message text for translation, which will affect the user's operation. Here, "translate simultaneously with input" means that when the user enters the original text in the input box, the translated text corresponding to the original text is simultaneously displayed in the translated text area. Here, the language corresponding to the translated text is set by the user according to their own needs.

[0022] Based on this, in the message processing method according to the present application, when the user enters the original message text through the input box, the message translated text corresponding to the original message text is displayed in the translated text area. In response to a first predetermined operation of using the translated text, the message translated text is displayed in the input box. When the user needs to go back, in response to a second predetermined operation of canceling the use of the translated text, the original message text is displayed in the input box. That is, when there is an input error by the user, it can be returned by the second predetermined operation, and the user does not need to manually edit or re-enter, improving the user experience.

[0023] To facilitate the understanding of the technical solution according to the embodiment of the present application, the following will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 2, the figure shows a message processing method according to an embodiment of the present application, which may be executed by a message processing client, and the message processing client may be installed on an electronic device. Here, the electronic device may include devices having a communication function such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, an in-vehicle terminal, a wearable electronic device, a multifunctional printer, a smart home device, etc., or may be a device simulated by a virtual machine or a simulator. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include the following steps.

[0025] S201: In response to the message original text being input into the input frame, display the message translation corresponding to the message original text in the translation text area.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the user turns on the "translate simultaneously with input" function and inputs the message original text into the input frame, the message translation corresponding to the message original text is displayed in the translation text area. Here, to facilitate user viewing, as shown in FIG. 1a, the translation text area may be located above the input frame and adjacent to the input frame.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the message translation corresponding to the message original text is displayed in the translation text area, a first control may be further displayed on the input interface. Here, the first control is for triggering the use of the message translation. The input interface may include the translation text area and the input frame area, and the position where the first control is displayed may be the translation text area, the input frame area, or other positions other than the translation text area and the input frame area in the input interface. For example, the first control is the use control 103 located in the translation text area shown in FIG. 1b. Thereby, the user can intuitively understand the function of the first control.

[0028] Specifically, when the "translate simultaneously with input" function is activated, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 1a, the translation text area may be displayed above the input frame. Alternatively, when the user activates the "translate simultaneously with input" function and the user has not input a message into the input frame, the translation text area may be displayed above the input frame, and a third control may be displayed in the translation text area. The third control is for closing the translation text area. As shown in the display schematic diagram of the translation text area in FIG. 3a, the third control 104 is displayed in the translation text area. When the user inputs the message original text into the input frame, for example, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 1b, the third control may not be displayed in the translation text area, and the message translation and the first control 103 may be displayed.

[0029] Here, activating the "Translate while inputting" function may be manually activated by the user or automatically activated by the client. For example, when the main languages of both parties in the conversation do not match and the main language of the current user is not English, when entering the conversation, input translation is automatically turned on for the current user. Here, the "Translate while inputting" function can support translating different types of messages, such as text, rich text, and messages including @ marks.

[0030] S202: In response to a first predetermined operation of using the translated text, display the message translated text in the input frame.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the user triggers a first predetermined operation of using the translated text, to indicate using the message translated text in the translated text area, the message translated text is displayed in the input frame, thereby realizing the use of the message translated text. Here, the first predetermined operation may be a trigger operation on the first control, or a trigger operation on the shortcut key for using the translated text, or an operation of right-clicking to call up the menu item and clicking on the item for using the translated text in the menu item.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the message translated text is displayed in the input frame, a second control may be further displayed on the input interface. Here, the second control is for canceling the use of the message translated text, and the position where the second control is displayed may be the translated text area, the input frame area, or other positions other than the translated text area and the input frame area in the input interface. For example, in the scenario application shown in Figure 3b, when the user triggers the use control 103, the message translated text appears in the input frame, and the cancel control 105 is displayed in the translated text area, and the use control 103 is no longer displayed.

[0033] S203: In response to a second predetermined operation to cancel the use of the translated text, display the original message text in the input box.

[0034] If the user wants to cancel the current use, a second predetermined operation to cancel the use of the translated text may be triggered. In response to receiving the second predetermined operation triggered by the user, control is performed so that the original message text appears in the input box again. That is, by the second predetermined operation, the use of the message translated text can be canceled, facilitating the user to quickly return to the previous step, facilitating the user to re-edit the original message text, and improving the user experience. For example, in the scenario application shown in Figure 3c, when the user triggers the cancel control 105, the message translated text appears in the translation text area, the original message text appears in the input box, and after the use control 103 is displayed in the translation text area, the cancel control 105 disappears.

[0035] Also, after the original message text is displayed in the input box, the message translated text may be further displayed in the translation text area. Thereby, the user can easily view the translated text corresponding to the original message text.

[0036] Here, when a first control is displayed on the input interface, a shortcut key corresponding to the first control may be further displayed. Thereby, the user can easily trigger the use of the translated text by the shortcut key. In addition, when a second control or a third control is displayed on the input interface, the corresponding shortcut keys may be displayed respectively. This embodiment is not limited here.

[0037] Here, when a second control is displayed on the input interface, the second predetermined operation for canceling the use of the translated text is a trigger operation on the second control. Alternatively, the second predetermined operation may be a trigger operation on a shortcut key for canceling the use of the translated text, or an operation of right-clicking to call up a menu item and clicking on an item for canceling the use of the translated text in the menu item.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, after canceling the use of the translated text, when the original message text is displayed in the input frame, the first control may be redisplayed on the input interface. Thereby, the user can reuse the translated text by triggering the first control, facilitating user operations.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display duration of the second control may be set. Within the display duration, the user can return to the previous step by the second control. When the display duration is exceeded, a third control is displayed on the input interface and the second control is no longer displayed. Specifically, when the translated message text is displayed in the input frame, the second control is displayed on the input interface, and there is no input within a predetermined time duration, the third control is displayed on the input interface and the second control is not displayed. For example, if the display duration is 30 seconds, the translated message text appears in the input frame, and the user has not entered anything in the input frame even after exceeding 30 seconds, the display of the second control stops and the third control is displayed. Here, the position where the third control is displayed may be the translated text area, the input frame area, or other positions other than the translated text area and the input frame area on the input interface. For example, as shown in FIG. 3d, when the display duration of the cancel control 105 is equal to the predetermined time duration and there is no input operation in the input frame, the translated text area is changed from the cancel control 105 to the close control 104 (the third control).

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a message translation text is displayed in an input frame and a second control is displayed on an input interface, in response to triggering the transmission of the message translation text, a third control is displayed on the input interface and the second control is not displayed. That is, when triggered to transmit the message translation text used by the user, the control displayed on the input interface is changed from the second control to the third control. The third control is for closing the translation text area. For example, as shown in the display configuration diagram of the translation text area in FIG. 3a, a closing control 104 is displayed in the translation text area.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the user continuously triggering an input operation in the input frame, a first control is displayed on the input interface. When the user continuously inputs in the input frame, if the input frame contains an existing message translation text, the existing message translation text and the message translation text corresponding to the message original text continuously input by the user are displayed in the translation text area. Here, before the user continuously triggers an input operation in the input frame, the control displayed on the input interface may be the second control or the third control. That is, when the user continuously triggers an input operation in the input frame, the control of the input interface may be changed from the cancel control to the use control, or may be changed from the closing control to the use control. Thereby, the user can continuously input the message original text in the input frame at any time without the need for manual switching, improving the user experience.

[0042] Specifically, when a message translation text is displayed in the input frame and a second control is displayed on the input interface, in response to the user continuously inputting in the input frame, a first control is displayed on the input interface and the second control is not displayed. That is, based on the message original text continuously input by the user in the input frame, it is triggered to automatically change the control displayed on the input interface from the second control to the first control.

[0043] Here, the translated message text may include multimedia resources, and the multimedia resources include one or more of images, videos, or links (non-naked links). Here, a naked link is in the form of an external link that a user cannot directly click to enter the target page.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes sending the translated message text to the conversation in response to an operation of sending the translated message text, and displaying all the contents in the translated message text in the input frame in response to a re-editing triggered for the sent translated message text. That is, when the user re-edits, all formatted contents in the translated message text, such as text, images, or links, can all appear in the input frame again, which facilitates user editing and improves the user experience compared to the case where only the text in the existing translated message text appears in the input frame again. Here, the re-editing operation triggered by the user for the sent translated message text may include first triggering an undo operation for the sent translated message text, and then triggering a re-editing operation for the undone translated message text.

[0045] Therefore, when the user uses the "translate while inputting" function via the instant messenger, in response to the message original text being input into the input frame, a translated message text corresponding to the message original text is displayed in the translated text area. When the user triggers a first predetermined operation to use the translated text, the translated message text is displayed in the input frame. When the user triggers a second predetermined operation to cancel the use of the translated text, the message original text is displayed in the input frame. That is, by the second predetermined operation, it is possible to return to the previous step, avoiding the need for the user to re-enter after a misoperation, and improving the user experience.

[0046] Based on the above method embodiments, embodiments of the present application provide a message processing apparatus and a device. The following will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0074] In the context of the present disclosure, a machine-readable medium may be a tangible medium that includes or can store a program used by or in combination with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. The machine-readable medium may be a machine-readable signal medium or a machine-readable storage medium. The machine-readable medium may include, but is not limited to, electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor systems, apparatuses, or devices, or any suitable combination thereof. More specific examples of the machine-readable storage medium include electrical connections based on one or more wirings, portable computer disks, hard disks, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or flash memory), optical fibers, compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), optical storage devices, magnetic storage devices, or any suitable combination thereof.

[0075] It should be noted that each embodiment in this specification is described progressively. In each embodiment, the differences from other embodiments are emphasized, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments may be referred to each other. For the systems or apparatuses disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the descriptions are relatively simplified, and the relevant parts may refer to the descriptions of the method parts.

[0076] In this application, it should be understood that "at least one (item)" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "And / or" is used to describe the relationship of related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, "A and / or B" may represent three cases: only A exists, only B exists, and both A and B exist simultaneously. A and B may be one or a plurality. The character " / " generally represents that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one (item) of the following" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of a single item or multiple items. For example, at least one (item) of a, b, or c may represent a, b, c, "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", or "a, b, and c", where a, b, and c may be single or a plurality.

[0077] In addition, in this specification, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not require or imply the existence of such an actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to indicate non-exclusive inclusion. A process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements specific to such a process, method, article or device. Further, when there are no more restrictions, an element limited by "comprising one..." does not exclude the inclusion of other same elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the said element.

[0078] The steps of the methods or algorithms described in connection with the embodiments disclosed in this specification may be implemented directly in hardware, in software modules executed by a processor, or in combinations thereof. The software modules may be disposed in a random access memory (RAM), memory, read only memory (ROM), electrically programmable ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM, registers, hard disk, removable disk, CD-ROM, or any other form of storage medium known in the art.

[0079] The foregoing description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Thus, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments set forth herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

[0080] In addition, with the rapid development of global collaboration work scenarios, employees in many large multinational companies have come to conduct collaborative work through collaboration software. These employees are generally distributed in different countries and regions and use different languages. Most collaboration software integrates many work applications such as instant messaging, cloud documents, audio / video conferencing, etc., greatly improving the efficiency of collaborative work among employees in different countries and regions of multinational companies.

[0081] In a cross-lingual collaboration scenario, when employees from different countries and regions conduct collaborative work via collaborative work software, they may be restricted by the problem of language barrier, which may reduce communication efficiency and work efficiency. For example, when employee A who speaks language X communicates with employee B who speaks language Y via collaborative work software, since A and B are not familiar with each other's language, A first needs to translate the content to be communicated from language X to language Y via translation software and then send it to B. Such additional translation processing operations reduce the communication efficiency between A and B and further reduce work efficiency.

[0082] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a technical solution to improve the communication efficiency between users in a cross-lingual communication scenario and improve the efficiency of users' collaborative work.

[0083] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of a method for realizing conversation translation according to an embodiment of the present specification. As shown in FIG. 6, the flow includes the following steps.

[0084] Step S102: In response to an input operation on the user's conversation interface, display the corresponding input text in the input area of the conversation interface, and the input text has a first text format.

[0085] Step S104: Obtain the translated text of the input text, the translated text has a second text format, and the second text format of the translated text is the same as the first text format of the input text.

[0086] Step S106: Display the translated text in the translated text display area of the conversation interface.

[0087] In the embodiments of this specification, in response to an input operation in the user's conversation interface, the corresponding input text is displayed in the input area of the conversation interface. The input text has a first text format, and the translated text of the input text is obtained. The translated text has a second text format, and the second text format of the translated text is consistent with the first text format of the input text. The translated text is then displayed in the translated text display area of the conversation interface.

[0088] Therefore, in this embodiment, the input text in the user's conversation is translated in real time to obtain the translated text, and the text format of the translated text is maintained to be consistent with that of the input text. By virtue of the format synchronization ability between the translated text and the input text, the user's expression intention is better retained in the translated text, the communication efficiency between users in a cross-lingual communication scenario is improved, and the efficiency of the user's collaborative work can be enhanced.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the conversation is a conversation in an instant messaging application integrated with collaborative work software. In step S102 above, in response to an input operation in the conversation interface of the instant messaging application integrated with collaborative work software by the user, the corresponding input text is displayed in the input area of the conversation interface.

[0090] In other embodiments, the conversation may be a conversation in other scenarios, such as a conversation in an independent instant messaging application, a conversation in a video or audio conference, a conversation for communication between different users in various platform applications (e.g., e-commerce platform, video platform, social platform). Here, in the case of an e-commerce platform, communication can be carried out between different sellers, between different buyers, between a seller and a buyer, between a buyer and platform customer support, and between a seller and platform customer support, all through conversations. In the case of a video platform, communication can be carried out between each video contributor blogger and between a video contributor blogger and platform customer support, all through conversations. In the case of a social platform, communication can be carried out between each platform user and between a platform user and platform customer support, all through conversations. Furthermore, the conversation may be a conversation that occurs when a user sends a short message or a multimedia message via a mobile phone base station. Therefore, in step S102, in response to an input operation in the conversation interface of any one of the user's conversations, the corresponding input text may be displayed in the input area of the conversation interface. Here, the input text has a first text format.

[0091] In one embodiment, in step S102 above, displaying the corresponding input text in the input area of the conversation interface in response to an input operation in the user's conversation interface specifically includes (a1) obtaining the user's input text in response to a text input operation in the user's conversation interface and displaying it in the input area of the conversation interface Or, (a2) in response to an audio input operation in the user's conversation interface, obtain the audio data input by the user, convert the audio data into text to obtain input text, and display the input text in the input area of the conversation interface.

[0092] In one case, the user may input text in the conversation interface. In response to the text input operation in the user's conversation interface, obtain the text input by the user, and display the input text in the input area of the conversation interface. In such a case, the first text format is a text format customized and arranged for the input text when the user edits the input text. The user can perform an input operation through the rich text input box or the plain text input box provided by the conversation to input text.

[0093] In another case, the user may input audio data in the conversation interface. Obtain the audio data input by the user, convert the audio data into text to obtain input text, and display the input text in the input area of the conversation interface. In such a case, the user may perform an input operation through the voice input control provided by the conversation to input audio data.

[0094] When the user inputs audio data, considering that the audio data does not have a text format, in one embodiment, after converting the audio data into text to obtain input text, set the first text format of the obtained input text after conversion to the default format of the conversation, or set it to the format previously arranged by the user for the conversation. Or, after converting to obtain the input text, the user adjusts the format of the input text through the format setting tool in the conversation interface.

[0095] Here, when the first text format is a format previously arranged by the user for the conversation, an interface for the user to customize the format is provided. Through this interface, the format customized by the user is obtained, and the format customized by the user may be set to the first text format corresponding to the case of voice input.

[0096] Therefore, in this embodiment, considering that the audio data does not have a text format, after the audio data input by the user is text-converted to obtain input text, the first text format of the obtained input text after conversion is set to the default format provided by the conversation, or may be set to the format previously arranged by the user for the conversation. Thereby, when the user inputs audio data, a corresponding first text format is set for the input text corresponding to the audio data.

[0097] FIG. 7a is a schematic diagram of a conversation translation scenario according to an embodiment of the present specification. As shown in FIG. 7a, in one scenario, taking the collaboration software on the mobile phone side as an example, the user may input a text-based conversation message through the plain text input box in the instant messaging application integrated with the collaboration software. When the user inputs a text-based conversation message, the instant messaging application translates the text-based conversation message input by the user in real time into the language used by the conversation partner to obtain a translated text, sets the second text format of the translated text to be the same as the first text format of the user's input text, and may display the translated text in the translated text display area. In the figure, the case where the language used by the conversation partner is English is taken as an example for explanation.

[0098] Figure 7b is a schematic diagram of a conversation translation scenario according to another embodiment of the present specification. As shown in Figure 7b, in one scenario, taking the collaboration software on the mobile phone as an example, the user may input a text conversation message through the rich text input box in the instant messaging application integrated with the collaboration software. When the user inputs a text conversation message, the instant messaging application translates the text conversation message input by the user into the language used by the conversation partner in real time, obtains the translated text, sets the second text format of the translated text to be the same as the first text format of the user's input text, and may display the translated text in the translated text display area. In the figure, the case where the language used by the conversation partner is English is taken as an example for explanation.

[0099] Figure 7c is a schematic diagram of a conversation translation scenario according to another embodiment of the present specification. As shown in Figure 7c, in one scenario, taking the collaboration software on the personal computer as an example, the user may input a text conversation message through the plain text input box in the instant messaging application integrated with the collaboration software. When the user inputs a text conversation message, the instant messaging application translates the text conversation message input by the user into the language used by the conversation partner in real time, obtains the translated text, sets the second text format of the translated text to be the same as the first text format of the user's input text, and may display the translated text in the translated text display area. In the figure, the case where the language used by the conversation partner is English is taken as an example for explanation.

[0100] Figure 7d is a schematic diagram of a conversation translation scenario according to another embodiment of the present specification. As shown in Figure 7d, in one scenario, taking the collaboration software on the computer side as an example, the user may input a text-based conversation message through a rich text input box in an instant messaging application integrated with the collaboration software. When the user inputs a text-based conversation message, the instant messaging application translates the text-based conversation message input by the user into the language used by the conversation partner in real time to obtain a translated text, sets the second text format of the translated text to be the same as the first text format of the user's input text, and may display the translated text in the translated text display area. In the figure, the case where the language used by the conversation partner is English is taken as an example for explanation.

[0101] Briefly explained here, the difference between a plain text input box and a rich text data box is that an image cannot be input into the plain text input box, and more complex format processing for text, such as numbering, cannot be performed. An image can be inserted into the rich text data box, more complex format processing can be performed on the text, and format requirements such as numbering and line breaks can be satisfied. The rich text input box corresponds to a small word pad program.

[0102] Of course, the user can perform simple format processing on the input conversation message in the plain text input box and the rich text input box, such as setting bold, italic, font, size, etc.

[0103] FIG. 7e is a schematic diagram of a conversation translation scenario according to another embodiment of the present specification. As shown in FIG. 7e, in one scenario, taking the collaboration software on the mobile phone side as an example, the user may input a conversation message in voice form through the voice input control in the instant messaging application integrated with the collaboration software. When the user inputs a conversation message in voice form, the instant messaging application may translate the conversation message in voice form input by the user into the language used by the conversation partner in real time and display the translated text in the translated text display area. In the figure, the case where the language used by the conversation partner is English will be described as an example. In FIG. 7e, when the conversation message input by the user is a voice message, the voice message may first be converted into the corresponding input text for display, and the translated text obtained by translating the input text may be synchronously displayed. As described above, in FIG. 7e, the text formats corresponding to the translated text and the input text are the same, and may be the default format of the conversation or the format previously arranged by the user for the conversation.

[0104] In this embodiment, it can be seen that when the user inputs a conversation message through routes such as a plain text box, a rich text box, and a voice input control, the conversation message can be translated in real time, thereby meeting the conversation translation needs in different scenarios.

[0105] In one embodiment, the text formats of the text contents at each location in the input text are all the same. As shown in FIG. 7a, the text formats of the text contents at each location in the input text are all the same, and they are all the Song typeface in size 4. In another embodiment, the text formats of the text contents at each location in the input text may be different. As shown in FIG. 7c, the text format of the text on the first line of the input text is the Song typeface in size 4, the text format of the text on the second line of the input text is the bold Song typeface in size 4, the text format of the text on the third line of the input text is the italic Song typeface in size 4, and the text format of the text on the fourth line of the input text is the underlined Song typeface in size 4. In these two cases, as shown in FIGS. 7a and 7c, according to the method in this embodiment, it can be ensured that the second text format of the translated text is the same as the first text format of the input text.

[0106] In one embodiment, the conversation interface has an input area and a translated text display area. The input area has a text display sub-area for displaying the input text, and the translated text display area is for displaying the translated text. The input area and the translated text display area are arranged side by side vertically.

[0107] Taking FIG. 7a as an example, FIG. 7a schematically shows the translated text display area and the input area. The translated text display area and the input area are arranged side by side vertically. The input area further has a text display sub-area. In the scenario where the user inputs text, the text display sub-area is for displaying the text input by the user in real time, and the translated text display area is for displaying the translated text in real time.

[0108] Taking FIG. 7e as an example, FIG. 7e schematically shows a translation text display area and an input area. The translation text display area and the input area are arranged side by side vertically. The input area further has a text display sub-area. In a scenario where the user inputs audio data, the text display sub-area is for displaying the input text corresponding to the audio data input by the user in real time, and the translation text display area is for displaying the translation text in real time.

[0109] In one embodiment, after displaying the translation text in the translation text display area of the conversation interface, further in response to a confirmation operation by the user on the translation text, the translation text or the audio data corresponding to the translation text may be transmitted to the conversation. As shown in FIGS. 7a to 7e, the user may click the confirmation key to confirm the translation text, and thereby transmit the translation text confirmed by the user or the audio data corresponding to the confirmed translation text to the conversation.

[0110] In another embodiment, after displaying the translation text in the translation text display area of the conversation interface, further in response to a processing operation by the user on the input text, the translation text may be synchronously processed. Here, the processing operation includes at least one of a scroll browsing operation, a text editing operation, a format correction operation, a text selection operation, and a cursor movement operation.

[0111] Specifically, the user may perform a scroll view operation on the input text and, synchronously, scroll view the translated text. The user may perform a text editing operation on the input text and, synchronously, edit the translated text, and reflect the translation of the input text edited by the user in the edited translated text. The user may perform a format correction operation on the input text and, synchronously, correct the format of the translated text, and maintain the text format of the input text to be the same as the text format of the translated text. The user may perform a text selection operation on the input text and, synchronously, select the corresponding translated text. The user may perform a cursor movement operation on the input text and, synchronously, move the cursor in the translated text.

[0112] According to this embodiment, when the user processes the input text, the translated text can be processed synchronously, from which it can be seen that the user can achieve the effect of correcting the translation by correcting the original text.

[0113] In this embodiment, in response to the confirmation operation on the translated text after the synchronous processing by the user, the translated text after the synchronous processing or the audio data corresponding to the translated text after the synchronous processing may be transmitted to the conversation. Based on this, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of a method for realizing conversation translation according to another embodiment of this specification. As shown in FIG. 8, the flow includes the following steps.

[0114] Step S302: In response to the input operation in the user's conversation interface, display the corresponding input text in the input area of the conversation interface, and the input text has a first text format.

[0115] Step S304: Obtain the translated text of the input text, the translated text has a second text format, and the second text format of the translated text is consistent with the first text format of the input text.

[0116] Step S306: Display the translated text in the translation text display area of the conversation interface.

[0117] Step S308: In response to a confirmation operation on the translated text by the user, send the translated text or the voice data corresponding to the translated text to the conversation.

[0118] Step S310: In response to a processing operation on the input text by the user, synchronize the translated text.

[0119] Step S312: In response to a confirmation operation on the processed translated text by the user, send the processed translated text or the voice data corresponding to the processed translated text to the conversation.

[0120] Specifically, after displaying the translated text, in one case, if the user does not modify the input text, execute Step S308, accept the confirmation operation on the translated text by the user, and send the translated text or the voice data corresponding to the translated text to the conversation. In another case, if the user modifies the input text, execute Steps S310 and S312, accept the processing operation on the input text by the user, perform corresponding processing on the translated text, and further, accept the confirmation operation on the processed translated text by the user, and send the translated text confirmed by the user or the voice data corresponding to the translated text after the confirmation to the conversation.

[0121] In one embodiment, in the above Step S104, obtaining the translated text of the input text specifically includes: (b1) Determining the conversation target in the user's conversation; (b2) Obtaining the language type information of the conversation target; (b3) Obtaining the translated text obtained by performing translation and formatting processing on the input text according to the language type information of the conversation target.

[0122] In one embodiment, in operation (b1), determining the conversation target in the user's conversation specifically includes: (b11) When the conversation is an individual chat conversation, setting the conversation target in the user's individual chat conversation as the user's conversation target; and (b12) When the conversation is a group chat conversation, determining the target message for which the user has performed a predetermined message response operation in the group chat conversation, and setting the sender of the target message as the user's conversation target.

[0123] In operation (b11), for an individual chat conversation, set the conversation target in the user's individual chat conversation as the user's conversation target. In operation (b12), for a group chat conversation, determine the target message for which the user has performed a predetermined message response operation in the group chat conversation, and set the sender of the target message as the user's conversation target.

[0124] In one embodiment, the predetermined message response operation includes a message reading operation and a message notation operation for denoting a message as a reply-waiting message. Determining the target message for which the user has performed a predetermined message response operation in the group chat conversation specifically includes: When there is a reply-waiting message of the user denoted by the message notation operation in the group chat conversation, determining the reply-waiting message as the target message; and when there is no reply-waiting message of the user denoted by the message notation operation in the group chat conversation, determining, by the message reading operation, the read message of the user in the group chat conversation as the target message.

[0125] Specifically, after the user executes a predetermined message response operation on a group chat message in a group chat conversation, it is determined whether there is a user's reply-pending message expressed by a message expression operation in the group chat conversation. If it exists, the reply-pending message is determined as the target message. If it does not exist, the read message of the user in the conversation is determined as the target message by a message reading operation.

[0126] In one embodiment, the predetermined message response operation includes a message reading operation. Determining the target message when the user executes a predetermined message response operation in a group chat conversation specifically means determining the read message of the user in the group chat conversation as the target message by a message reading operation. That is, when the predetermined message response operation includes a message reading operation, the read message of the user in the group chat conversation is determined as the target message.

[0127] In one embodiment, the predetermined message response operation includes a message expression operation for expressing a message as a reply-pending message. Determining the target message when the user executes a predetermined message response operation in a group chat conversation specifically means determining the user's reply-pending message expressed in the group chat conversation as the target message by a message expression operation. That is, when the predetermined message response operation includes a message expression operation, the reply-pending message expressed by the user in the group chat conversation is determined as the target message.

[0128] Considering that the user may have read multiple messages in a group chat conversation, in the above flow, determining the user's read messages in the group chat conversation as target messages by the message reading operation may, when the number of read messages is plural, also be determining the message that the user last read as the target message by the message reading operation. Thereby, when the user is not indicating a reply-waiting message and has read multiple messages, determining the last-read message as the target message, and further using the sender of the target message as the conversation partner in the user's group chat conversation may be appropriate.

[0129] In this embodiment, it can be seen that in the case of an individual chat conversation, the conversation partner of the user can be determined. In the case of a group chat conversation, the conversation partner is determined by a user operation, and the sender corresponding to the reply-waiting message indicated by the user is most likely the conversation partner to whom the user will reply. When the user is not indicating a reply-waiting message, the sender corresponding to the message read by the user is most likely the conversation partner to whom the user will reply. It can be seen that the conversation partner with the highest likelihood of the user replying can be accurately determined as the conversation partner in the user's group chat conversation in the group chat scenario.

[0130] In the above operation (b2), language type information of the conversation partner is obtained. In one embodiment, specifically, this operation (b21) When the conversation is an individual chat conversation, obtaining the main language type information of the conversation partner as the language type information of the conversation partner, or using the language type information of a message that meets a predetermined condition sent by the conversation partner in the individual chat conversation as the language type information corresponding to the conversation. When the conversation is a group chat conversation, obtain the main language type information of the conversation target as the language type information of the conversation target, or determine a target message that the conversation target sent in the group chat conversation and for which a predetermined message response operation has been executed by the user, and use the language type information of the target message as the language type information of the conversation target.

[0131] In an individual chat conversation, in one case, after determining the user's conversation target, the main language type information of the conversation target may be obtained as the language type information of the conversation target. Use a machine learning model to identify the language type of the message sent by the conversation target. For example, input a conversation message uttered by the conversation target in a conversation of an instant messaging application into a pre-trained machine learning model, and the machine learning model outputs the language type information of the conversation message, and use the language type information output by the machine learning model as the language type label of the conversation message. In this way, the language type labels of the conversation messages sent by the conversation target within a recent period (for example, three months) can be statistically analyzed to determine the main language type information of the conversation target. Of course, when the conversation target sets the label of the main language type information by itself, the label may be directly obtained to determine the main language type information of the conversation target. Furthermore, use the main language type information of the conversation target as the language type information of the conversation target.

[0132] In the case of an individual chat conversation, or in other cases, the language type information of a message that meets a predetermined condition sent by the conversation partner in the individual chat conversation is used as the language type information of the conversation partner. Here, the message that meets the predetermined condition includes one or more of the messages that the above user last read and the reply-waiting messages written by the above user. Specifically, in the individual chat conversation between the above user and the conversation partner, if the conversation partner sends a conversation message, among the sent conversation messages, the language type information of the message that the above user last read is used as the language type information of the conversation partner, or the language type information of the reply-waiting message written by the above user among the sent conversation messages is used as the language type information of the conversation partner. If both the message read by the above user and the reply-waiting message written by the above user exist in the sent conversation message, the language type information of the message that the above user last read is obtained, and the language type information of the reply-waiting message written by the above user is obtained. If these two language type information are the same, the same language type information is used as the language type information of the conversation partner. If the two language type information are different, the language type information of the reply-waiting message written by the above user may be obtained as the language type information of the conversation partner.

[0133] In the case of a group chat conversation, the main language type information of the conversation partner may be obtained as the language type information of the conversation partner in the same manner as the method described above. Alternatively, a target message is determined that is sent by the conversation partner in the group chat conversation and for which a predetermined message response operation is performed by the user. The process of determining the target message is the same as the process of determining the target message in the operation (b12) described above. As can be seen from the process of determining the target message described above, the target message is sent by the conversation partner. The language type information of the target message is used as the language type information of the conversation partner. The language type information of the target message may be identified by a machine learning model.

[0134] It can be understood that through operations (b21) and (b22), language type information of a conversation partner can be obtained in different conversation scenarios. In one embodiment, in operation (b3), translation and formatting processing are performed on the input text according to the language type information of the conversation partner to obtain a translated text, which may be completed by a machine learning model trained in advance. When training the machine learning model, text data with a format and a translated text with the same format as the text data may be used as training data, and the parameters in the model may be trained with the training data. The trained model has the ability of text translation and the ability to keep the formats of the original text and the translated text the same. In another embodiment, in operation (b3), translation and formatting processing are performed on the input text according to the language type information of the conversation partner to obtain a translated text. Specifically, the input text may be translated by a machine learning model trained in advance, and formatting settings may be performed on the text output by the machine learning model based on the formatting information of the first text format of the input text to obtain the translated text. Since formatting settings are performed on the text output by the machine learning model according to the formatting information of the first text format to obtain the translated text, the second text format of the translated text is the same as the first text format of the input text.

Therefore, no repeated description will be given here.

[0148] One embodiment of this specification further provides an electronic device. FIG. 5 is a schematic configuration diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this specification. As shown in FIG. 10, the electronic device may have relatively large differences in configuration or performance, and may include one or more processors 801 and a memory 802. One or more application programs or data may be stored in the memory 802. Here, the memory 802 may be for temporary storage or permanent storage. The application program stored in the memory 802 may include one or more modules (not shown), and each module may include a series of computer-executable instructions in the electronic device. Further, the processor 801 may be provided to communicate with the memory 802 and execute a series of computer-executable instructions in the memory 802 in the electronic device. The electronic device may further include one or more power supplies 803, one or more wired or wireless network interfaces 804, one or more input or output interfaces 805, one or more keyboards 806, etc.

[0149] In one specific embodiment, the electronic device includes a processor and, when executed, cause the processor to, in response to an input operation in the user's conversation interface, display corresponding input text in the input area of the conversation interface, where the input text has a first text format, and obtain a translation text of the input text, where the translation text has a second text format, and the second text format of the translation text is the same as the first text format of the input text, and display the translation text in the translation text display area of the conversation interface, and includes a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions for realizing the above.

[0150] Note that the electronic device in this embodiment can implement each process of the method embodiment for realizing the above-described conversation translation and achieve the same effects and functions. Therefore, it will not be repeatedly described herein.

[0151] Another embodiment of this specification, when executed by a processor, displays corresponding input text in the input area of the conversation interface according to an input operation in the user's conversation interface, where the input text has a first text format, obtains a translation text of the input text, where the translation text has a second text format, and the second text format of the translation text is the same as the first text format of the input text, and further provides a computer-readable storage medium for storing computer-executable instructions for realizing displaying the translation text in the translation text display area of the conversation interface.

[0152] Note that the storage medium in this embodiment can implement each process of the method embodiment for realizing the above-described conversation translation and achieve the same effects and functions. Therefore, it will not be repeatedly described herein.

[0153] Among them, the computer-readable storage medium includes read-only memory (abbreviated as ROM), random access memory (abbreviated as RAM), magnetic disk, optical disk, and the like.

[0154] In the 1990s, it was possible to clearly distinguish whether an improvement to a technology was an improvement in hardware (e.g., an improvement to the circuit structure such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or an improvement in software (an improvement to the method flow). However, with the development of technology, many current improvements to method flows may be regarded as direct improvements to the hardware circuit configuration. Designers generally obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming the improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Therefore, it cannot be said that an improvement to a method flow cannot be realized by a hardware entity module. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) (e.g., a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)) is such an integrated circuit, and its logic function is determined by programming the device by the user. Without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate a dedicated integrated circuit chip, a designer can "integrate" a digital system into a PLD by programming it themselves.Also, currently, instead of fabricating integrated circuit chips manually, such programming is often realized by "logic compiler" software similar to the software compilers used during program development and creation. Also, the source code before compilation needs to be written in a specific programming language called a Hardware Description Language (HDL). There are not just one type of HDL, but many types. For example, there are ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language), AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), Confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), Lava, Lola, MyHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc. Currently, the most commonly used ones are VHDL (Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that if a little logic programming is done using some of the above-mentioned hardware description languages for the flow of the method and then programmed into an integrated circuit, a hardware circuit that realizes the flow of the logic method can be easily obtained.

[0155] The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner. For example, the controller may be, for example, a microprocessor or a processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code executable by the (micro)processor (such as software or firmware), a logic gate, a switch, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, or an embedded microcontroller. Examples of the controller include, but are not limited to, the microcontroller ARC625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320. The memory controller may be implemented as part of the control logic of the memory. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, in addition to implementing the controller in the form of pure computer-readable program code, by performing logic programming on the method steps, the controller may be made to realize the same functions in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers, etc. Therefore, such a controller can be regarded as a kind of hardware component, and the devices for realizing various functions included therein can also be regarded as the structure within the hardware component. Or ultimately, the devices for realizing various functions may be regarded as software modules for implementing the method, or as the structure within the hardware component.

[0156] The systems, apparatuses, modules, or means described in the above embodiments may specifically be implemented by a computer chip or entity, or may be implemented by a product having some functions. A typical implementation device is a computer.

Thereby, a manufactured product including an instruction apparatus for realizing the functions specified in one or more flows of the flowchart and / or one or more blocks of the block diagram is generated by the instructions stored in this computer-readable memory.

[0161] These computer program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing device. Thereby, a computer or other programmable device is caused to execute a series of operation steps to generate a process implemented by the computer, whereby the instructions executed on the computer or other programmable device provide steps for realizing the functions specified in one flow or more flows of the flowchart and / or one block or more blocks of the block diagram.
