Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for applying content translation and a system for assisting the same.
Background Art
[0002] As technology develops, the utilization rate of digital devices has been increasing. In particular, electronic devices (such as smartphones, tablet PCs, etc.) have various functions, including communication functions such as phone calls and text messages, as well as web surfing, music appreciation, and video viewing using the Internet.
[0003] Driven by the popularization of electronic devices, consumption of content provided through electronic devices such as PCs and mobile devices, which is different from traditional orthodox content consumption media, has been increasing rapidly. As an example, there is web comic (WEBCOMIC). The web comic is a comic serialized and distributed via the Internet communication network.
[0004] As consumption of such web comics continues to increase, various operators (or service providers related to web comics) are developing various services to secure users (or consumers, subscribers) who continue to use their services.
[0005] As an example, in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0119005 (Method for Providing Webtoon Using Flip-Through Function), a method is proposed in which a user who owns a web comic online allows other users to flip through it, enabling a user who has read a part of the web comic to select whether to purchase it, so that the user can purchase the web comic with the content they desire.
[0006] On the other hand, such webcomics are not just created by authors and provided to the relevant country, but are served worldwide, and therefore, translation into various languages is essential. In this way, customized translations for each country are necessary to increase consumer purchase intent for content on a global scale, but a systematic translation process for webcomics has not yet been established. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0007] This invention relates to a method and system for translating content, which constructs a systematic translation system for content and enables users in multiple countries to continuously access that content.
[0008] More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for assisting in the translation of content and a method for operating such a system.
[0009] In particular, the present invention relates to a method and system for content translation that provides the necessary functions for content translation and enables the management of the work process.
[0010] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for more systematically managing the translation work of translators. [Means for solving the problem]
[0011] To solve the problems discussed above, the content translation operation method according to the present invention may include the steps of: sending a source document to be translated for an episode of content created based on the language of a first country from a management server to a translation server; providing the source document to be translated from the translation server to a first terminal and receiving translations from the first terminal that correspond to a language of a second country different from the language of the first country based on the source document; generating a translation file for the source document using the received translations from the translation server; providing the translation file to a second terminal from the translation server; and receiving an image file corresponding to the episode, translated into the language of the second country using the translation file, from the second terminal.
[0012] The content translation operation system according to the present invention includes a management server that registers translation target manuscripts for content episodes created based on the language of a first country, and a translation server that receives the translation target manuscripts from the management server and provides them to a first terminal that translates the translation target manuscripts into a language of a second country different from the language of the first country, wherein the translation server receives translation terms corresponding to the language of the second country from the first terminal, generates a translation file for the translation target manuscript using the received translation terms and provides it to a second terminal, receives an image file corresponding to the episode translated into the language of the second country from the second terminal, and transmits the translated episode for the episode to the management server.
[0013] The program according to the present invention is a program executed by one or more processes on an electronic device and stored on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program may include commands to perform the following steps: sending a manuscript to be translated for an episode of content created based on the language of a first country from a management server to a translation server; providing the manuscript to be translated from the translation server to a first terminal and receiving from the first terminal translated terms in a language of a second country different from the language of the first country based on the manuscript to be translated; generating a translation file for the manuscript to be translated from the translation server using the received translation terms; providing the translation file from the translation server to a second terminal; and receiving from the second terminal an image file corresponding to the episode, which has been translated into the language of the second country using the translation file. [Effects of the Invention]
[0014] As discussed above, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention consists of a management server and a translation server, and enables a more systematic and consistent overall process of translating the original webcomic and providing it to another country. In other words, according to the present invention, the flow of data processing between various entities can be designed efficiently, and the cooperation of webcomic service providers, translation providers, administrators, etc., can be managed more systematically.
[0015] Furthermore, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention provides the source document to be translated to a first terminal device via the translation server, and receives from the first terminal device translations corresponding to a second country language different from the first country language based on the source document. The user of the first terminal device is provided with an efficient translation environment optimized for translation from the translation server, and the translation server can receive translation results translated from the first terminal device from the first country language to the second country language.
[0016] Furthermore, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention can generate a translation file for the source manuscript using the received translations on the translation server, and provide the translation file to a second terminal on the translation server. The user of the second terminal can intuitively recognize and match the translations with the episodes of the original content via the translation file and proceed with the lettering work.
[0017] Furthermore, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention can receive an image file corresponding to the episode, which has been translated into the language of the second country using the translation file, from the second terminal, and provide consumers with content translated into various languages.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0019] [ Hereinafter, the embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, regardless of the reference numerals in the drawings, the same or similar components are given the same reference numbers, and duplicate descriptions thereof are omitted. The suffixes "module" and "section" for the components used in the following description are given or mixed only for the ease of preparing the specification, and do not have meanings or roles that distinguish them from each other by themselves. In addition, when it is determined that a specific description of related known technologies may obscure the gist of the embodiments disclosed in this specification in explaining the embodiments disclosed in this specification, the detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, the accompanying drawings are only for facilitating the understanding of the embodiments disclosed in this specification, and the technical idea disclosed in this specification is not limited by the accompanying drawings, and should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives included in the idea and technical scope of the present invention.
[0020] Terms including ordinal numbers, such as "first," "second," etc., may be used to describe various components, but the components are not limited by such terms. These terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another.
[0021] When it is stated that one component is “connected” or “linked” to another component, it should be understood that it may be directly connected or linked to the other component, but there may also be other components between them. On the other hand, when it is stated that one component is “directly connected” or “directly linked” to another component, it should be understood that there are no other components between them.
[0022] A singular expression includes plural forms unless the context clearly indicates a different meaning.
[0023] In this application, terms such as “includes” or “having” should be understood to indicate the presence of features, figures, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and not to preemptively exclude the existence or possibility of adding one or more other features, figures, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
[0024] The present invention relates to a method for translating and managing content and a system therefor, and can provide a functional interface and worker communication tools (e.g., Inbox, Message) necessary for content translation, lettering, and acceptance work in conjunction with a content provision service.
[0025] The types of content to which this invention can be applied can be very diverse. For example, at least one of the following types of content may be provided in this invention: webcomics, webnovels, music, ebooks, videos, images, etc.
[0026] For the sake of clarity, the following explanation will use webcomics as an example. Here, "webcomic" is a portmanteau of "web" and "comics," and refers to cartoons or comics provided via the internet.
[0027] Such content may consist of multiple sub-contents. Multiple sub-contents can constitute a series of content.
[0028] Here, "series" can mean a continuous project or content.
[0029] In this invention, to avoid confusion between the terms "content" and "sub-content," "sub-content" will be referred to as "episode."
[0030] In this invention, "using (consuming or viewing) content" may be understood as using (consuming or viewing) episodes.
[0031] The following will specifically describe how to provide content to users, along with the attached drawings. Figure 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the content translation operation system according to the present invention. Figures 2a and 2b are flowcharts illustrating the content translation operation method according to the present invention, Figures 3a and 3b are flowcharts illustrating the data flow according to the content translation operation method in the present invention, Figures 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d are conceptual diagrams illustrating the operator account and manager account according to the present invention, and Figures 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and 5e are conceptual diagrams illustrating the translation process according to the present invention.
[0032] As shown in Figure 1, the content translation operation system 100 can translate episode 300 of content created based on the language of a first country (e.g., Korean, "Do you want to eat pizza?") 310 into the language of a second country different from the first country (e.g., English, "Do you want to go eat pizza?") 310a.
[0033] Here, "the language of the first country" means the language to be translated (the original language or source language), and "the language of the second country" may mean the language of another country (or target language) to which the language of the first country is translated.
[0034] The content translation operation system 100 according to the present invention includes the work of translating the language of a first country (e.g., Korean) 310 contained in an episode of content into the language of a second country (e.g., English) 310a, and the work of checking and lettering the translated words, which in this invention may be described as the "translation process" or the "translation checking process." However, this is for illustrative purposes only, and the language of the second country may be any one of the languages of various countries, such as Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Indonesian, or Thai. Furthermore, while the present invention exemplifies the translation of Korean into the language of another country, it is also possible to translate the language of another country into Korean, or to translate languages between different countries.
[0035] To provide such a translation process, the content translation operation system 100 according to the present invention may include at least one of an authorization server 110, a management server 120, and a translation server 130. The authorization server 110, the management server 120, and the translation server 130 may be configured to send and receive various information related to the provision of content or the operation of content translation via wired or wireless communication. Such sending and receiving of information may be performed by a communication unit 210 included in each of the servers 110, 120, and 130.
[0036] Here, the server can be a computer system that provides information and services over a network. The server may be configured to exchange various information or data with other servers or user terminals. The authorization server 110 may be configured to perform authorization management for at least one of the user accounts and content registered with the management server 120. The authorization server 110 can receive requests for authorization or grant authorization based on the fulfillment of specific conditions for a user account registered with the management server 120.
[0037] For example, the authorization server 110 can grant an operator account with operational authority over the translation process to a specific user based on a request for an operator account. In another example, the authorization server 110 can register a specific user account registered with the management server 120 as a manager with the authority to designate translation process personnel (e.g., translators, typesetters, reviewers, etc.) based on a request for an operator account.
[0038] The management server 120 may be configured to provide content and manage the translation operation of the content. The management server 120 can store and contain original content (or source content) received from authors, and the management server 120 can provide the original content to the translation server 130 so that the translation process is carried out based on the original content. In this case, the management server 120 manages user accounts and permissions associated with the translation and provides the source files to be translated as original content to the translation server 130.
[0039] The content translation operation system 100 according to the present invention can provide the person in charge with various modified file formats for content episodes during the translation process.
[0040] For example, if the image file of the original episode received from the author is a high-capacity file of type 1, the present invention can convert the high-capacity file into a low-capacity file of type 2 and provide it to the translator. As another example, if the image file of the original episode is a low-capacity file of type 2, it can also be converted into a high-capacity file of type 1.
[0041] The first type of high-capacity file may be, for example, a PSD (Photoshop Document) file or a Clip file (Clip Studio file), while the second type of low-capacity file may be, for example, a JPG or PNG file. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples of the first and second types of files, and may be modified in various forms. For example, with advancements in technology, the high-capacity file presented as an example may be replaced with a different file other than a PSD or Clip file. Similarly, the low-capacity file may be replaced with a different file as needed.
[0042] Furthermore, in the present invention, a third type of file can be provided to the typesetting designer, in which a first language and its corresponding translation are matched, so that the typesetting person can intuitively recognize the translation and the typesetting work position. The third type of file may be, for example, a document file. The document file may be, for example, an Excel file, a Word file, etc., and can be transformed into various forms. In the following, the case where the third type of file is an Excel file will be described as an example.
[0043] The management server 120 can manage various types of files generated during the translation process by mapping (or matching) them with each other based on the episodes of the original content. This mapped information may be used to verify the accuracy of the translation by comparing the translated output with the original content.
[0044] The translation server 130 can provide each person in charge with a customized environment, from assigning personnel to the translation process to performing translation, typesetting (lettering), and acceptance testing.
[0045] The translation server 130 can set the work steps (or work process) and assigned personnel for the translation process of a specific episode by specifying an operator account or manager account.
[0046] The work included in the translation process in the present invention may include at least one of the following: i) translation (or input of translated terms), ii) editing acceptance, which involves correcting and inputting the translated terms, iii) proofreading acceptance, which involves conveying feedback using messages for the translated terms, iv) lettering, which involves changing the characters of the episodes in the original content to the translated terms, and v) image acceptance, which involves confirming that the images reflect the translated terms.
[0047] For operator or manager accounts, the translation process for content episodes can be assigned to specific individuals based on the task (work unit basis) (for example, translation work - "Instructor A", typesetting work - "Instructor B"), and deadlines can be set based on the episode (or story).
[0048] The translation server 130 can provide a translation editor (a translation tool that allows the user to proceed with each task included in the translation process) to the terminal 200 of the person in charge of the translation process (or the person's account or user account). Such a translation editor can provide translation support tools (e.g., Memory, Glossary) and functions (image acceptance, file format conversion, Inbox messages, feedback, image comparison function, uploading translated episodes after typesetting is complete, etc.).
[0049] The content translation operation system 100 according to the present invention may be connected to at least one terminal 200 via wired or wireless communication. As shown in Figure 1, the terminal 200 means an electronic device and is not limited to any particular type, such as a smartphone, notebook computer, laptop computer, slate PC, tablet PC, ultrabook, or desktop computer. The services provided in the present invention may be used via a terminal 200 logged in with a user account registered with the management server 120. For example, a translator responsible for translating an episode can be provided with a translation editor via a terminal (which can also be named a translator terminal) 210 logged in with their user account, and can use the various functions provided by the translation editor to proceed with the work of translating the language of the first country contained in the episode into the language of the second country. To give another example, a typesetter (typesetter designer) who typesets (sketches, drawings, or designs) translated terms into an episode can provide the translation file using a terminal (which can also be named a typesetter terminal) 220 logged in with their user account. Therefore, in this invention, "user," "person in charge (e.g., translator)," "user account (e.g., translator account)," and "terminal (e.g., translator terminal)" may be used interchangeably.
[0050] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2a, in the present invention, the process may be carried out in which the management server sends the source manuscript for translation to the translation server for content episodes created based on the language of a first country (S210).
[0051] As described above, in the present invention, the management server 120 can store and contain original content (or source content), and based on the fact that at least one episode of the original content is identified as a target for translation, the management server 120 can provide the file of the identified episode to the translation server 130 as the source for translation.
[0052] In this case, the management server 120 can send a first type of file containing multiple layers (e.g., PSD, Clip, etc.) to the translation server 130 (see S210b, Figure 2b).
[0053] The first type of file can separate layers according to different elements (e.g., background, characters, text, speech bubbles, etc.), and the management server 120 can provide the translation server 130 with the first type of file so that it is easy to change the language of the first country to the language of the second country.
[0054] In the present invention, the process may involve providing the source document to be translated from a translation server to a first terminal, and receiving the translated terms from the first terminal in a language of a second country that is different from the language of a first country, based on the source document (see S220, Figure 2a).
[0055] The translation server 130 can identify the translator of the document to be translated and provide the document to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210, which is logged in with the translator's account.
[0056] The database (DB) of the translation server 130 can contain matching information for the personnel responsible for the translation process (e.g., translators, typesetting designers, etc.) for a specific episode. Personnel may be designated by a manager, and the translation server 130 can refer to the DB to provide the necessary information to the personnel corresponding to the progress of the translation process. Details on how personnel are designated by the manager will be described later.
[0057] The translation server 130 can convert a first type of source document into a second type of file, which is different from the first type, and provide it to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210 (see S220b, Figure 2b).
[0058] As an example, the translation server 130 is configured to allow the operator account and manager account to change the file format depending on the form of the file format obtained from the content author, or a form that is easier to translate. Below, a process for converting a first type high-capacity file to a second type low-capacity file is illustrated, but this is merely an example, and it is also possible to convert a low-capacity file to a high-capacity file as needed. In such a case, the management server can send the second type of source document to the translation server, and the translation server can convert the second type of source document to a first type file, which is different from the second type, and provide it to the first terminal.
[0059] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the first type of file can be, for example, a PSD (Photoshop Document) file or a Clip file (Clip Studio file), and this may be replaced with various other file formats. Also, the second type of file, which is low in size, can be, for example, a JPG or PNG, and this may be replaced with various other file formats.
[0060] The first type of file (e.g., PSD, Clip, etc.) consists of multiple layers and is easy to modify, but it can be a large file size. Since the translator does not perform revision work on the source document to be translated, it does not need to be a large file of the first type. Therefore, the translation server 130 can convert the source document of the first type file into a second type file, which is smaller in size, for efficient data communication and provide it to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210.
[0061] The translation server 130 can provide the first terminal (translator terminal) 210 with a translation editor containing the source document converted into a second type of file. As described above, the translation editor is an interface for an efficient working environment for the translator, and further details will be provided later.
[0062] The first terminal (translator terminal) 210 displays the source document to be translated, which has been converted into a second type of file, and may input a translation ("Do you want to go eat pizza?") 310a corresponding to the language of the first country (for example, "Do you want to eat pizza?") 310 contained in the source document. The translation server 130 can receive this based on the input of the translation to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210 (see S221b, Figure 2b).
[0063] Furthermore, in the present invention, the process of generating a translation file for the source document using the translated terms received by the translation server may be carried out (see S230, Figure 2a).
[0064] The translation server 130 can generate a translation file for the source document using the translated words received from the first terminal (translator terminal) 210.
[0065] In this invention, "translation file" may mean a file provided to a typesetting designer responsible for lettering the translated words.
[0066] A typesetter can be responsible for changing the language of the first country to the language of the second country in the text layer of the source document, based on the translation file. The typesetter must input (create, design, or sketch) the translated word in the area where the first country's language was located, and it is crucial to intuitively recognize the matching relationship between the first country's language and the translated word in the second country.
[0067] The translation server 130 can generate translation files in which the language of the first country and the language of the second country are matched, so that the typesetting designer can intuitively recognize the language of the first country and the corresponding translated words (see Figure 5d).
[0068] In this case, the translation server 130 can generate the translation file as at least one of a first type of file (e.g., PSD, Clip, etc.) and a third type of file (e.g., Excel) (see S230b, Figure 2b). That is, the translation server 130 can provide the source document to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210 and the second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220 with image files in different formats. This allows the person in charge to be provided with files in a format optimized for their work.
[0069] Furthermore, in this invention, the translation server can provide the translation file to the second terminal (see S240, Figure 2a).
[0070] Based on the fact that the progress of the translation process corresponds to the typesetting process, the translation server 130 can refer to the database to confirm the assigned typesetting designer for the manuscript to be translated. The translation server 130 can send the translation file to a second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220 logged in with the assigned typesetting designer's account. For example, the translation server 130 can provide both a first type of translation file (PSD, Clip, etc.) and a third type of translation file (e.g., Excel) to the second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220 (see S240b, Figure 2b), and the typesetting designer may select the desired type of translation file from the first and third types and proceed with the typesetting work.
[0071] On the other hand, the translation process in the present invention further includes an "acceptance" process, which may further include editing acceptance and proofreading acceptance performed between the translation and typesetting processes, and image acceptance performed after the typesetting process. Further details regarding the overall process including the acceptance process will be described later.
[0072] In this invention, the process may involve receiving an image file corresponding to the episode, which has been translated into the language of a second country using a translation file, from a second terminal (see S250, Figure 2).
[0073] The translation server 130 can provide the second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220 with a translation file and a first type of source file to be translated.
[0074] In the second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220, based on the translation file, the operation may be performed to change the language characters of the first country included in the character layer among the multiple layers that make up the source file to be translated to the translated words in the language of the second country. The second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220 can generate an image file containing the language of the second country (S250b), and the translation server 130 can receive the image file.
[0075] The image file received from the typesetting designer terminal 220 has the characters of the episode changed to the language of a second country different from that of the first country, and in this invention, this can be called a "typesetting file". The translation server 130 can use the typesetting file to generate a translated episode for the content episode (see S260b, Figure 2b).
[0076] On the other hand, the content translation operation system 100 according to the present invention has an authority server 110, a management server 120, and a translation server 130 working together to identify content works that require translation, assign translators, typesetting and acceptance inspectors to the identified content, and operate the translation platform so that the work is performed by the assigned personnel according to the work order. The following describes the overall translation process carried out in the present invention, from the identification of works to acceptance inspection.
[0077] As shown in Figure 3a, the authorization server 110 may manage user accounts and permissions (S301). Based on a request for granting an operator account, the authorization server 110 can grant an operator account with operational authority over the translation process to a specific user.
[0078] In this invention, the "operator (or operator account)" may have authority over at least one of the following: designating a manager, managing the manuscript to be translated, managing the personnel in charge of the translation process, and managing translation support tools (e.g., glossary).
[0079] A work group may be generated on the authorization server 110 (see S302, Figure 3a). Based on the generation of the work group on the authorization server 110, content and episodes may be generated on at least one of the authorization server 110 and the management server 120 based on the work group (see S303, Figure 3a). In the present invention, the work group, content and episodes can be generated in that order, and based on the generation of the content and episodes, information regarding the content and episodes can be linked to the translation server 130 (see S304, Figure 3a).
[0080] In the present invention, information regarding content and episodes can be diverse. As described above, content may consist of multiple episodes, and these multiple episodes may exist with their story information matched according to a predefined order (e.g., upload order). For example, multiple episodes constituting a specific piece of content called "Yuna's Cells" may have their story information matched as episode 1 (ep.1), episode 2 (ep.2), episode 3 (ep.3), etc., according to the upload order. In the present invention, various pieces of information such as content (e.g., content title information), episodes constituting the content (e.g., episode files), and episode stories exist matched with each other, and the management server 120 and translation server 130 can continuously update and link information regarding content and episodes.
[0081] On the other hand, when content and episodes are generated on the management server 120, the translation server 130 can activate the setting function (or title registration function) for registering the content to be translated (see S305, Figure 3a).
[0082] As shown in Figure 4a, the service page 400a provided to the operator account may include a setting function (or setting function area) 410 for setting the content to be translated and the language types of a first country and a second country for the content to be translated. The translation server 130 can receive, via the setting function 410, the title information of the content (e.g., "Yuna's Cells") 411, information regarding the language type of a first country (or the original language code, e.g., KR) 412 for the content, and information regarding the language type of a second country (or the translation language code, e.g., EN) 412. Based on the information received through the setting function 410, the translation server 130 can identify the content to be translated (e.g., "True Beauty") and the language of a first country and a second country for the content to be translated.
[0083] On the other hand, in this invention, the story information of the content episodes is linked between the management server 120 and the translation server 130, and changes to the story information may be made by setting them in the operator account. Therefore, in this invention, the story information of the episodes in the translation server 130 may be updated when the story information of the episodes in the management server 120 is changed, or it may be changed by the operator account. In the following, we will explain using the example where the original content includes episodes A, B, and C, and the story information "Ep1," "Ep2," and "Ep3" are matched accordingly.
[0084] When the information for episodes A, B, and C is changed to "Ep4," "Ep5," and "Ep6" respectively on the management server 120, the information for episodes A, B, and C on the translation server 130 can also be automatically updated to "Ep4," "Ep5," and "Ep6," respectively.
[0085] Furthermore, when the management server 120 changes the story information for episodes A, B, and C to "Ep4," "Ep5," and "Ep6," respectively, the translation server 130 can send notification information to the operator account informing them of the change in story information. Upon receiving the notification information, the operator account can change the story information of the episodes on the translation server 130 to match the story information of the episodes on the management server 120. For example, as shown in Figure 4a, if the operator terminal selects an item 431 corresponding to one specific episode among the multiple episodes included in the list of episodes to be translated, the translation server 130 can provide a pop-up window 431a matched to the episode story change function. Based on receiving a request to change the story of an episode via the pop-up window 431a, the translation server 130 can change the story information of at least one of the episodes to be translated.
[0086] The translation server 130 can change all the story information of episodes that include a selected specific episode and are in the order following that specific episode. In this case, if there is a specific episode among the following episodes for which a translation has been received from the translator terminal, the translation server 130 can restrict the change of story information from that specific episode. For example, if the selected specific episode is "Ep3", the translation server 130 can sequentially change the story information of the following episodes, such as "Ep4", "Ep5", etc., starting from episode "Ep3". If a translation exists for episode "Ep8", the translation server 130 can change the story information up to episode "Ep7", and restrict the change of story information from episode "Ep8" onwards.
[0087] Furthermore, in conjunction with the removal of story information mapped to a specific episode on the management server 120, the translation server 130 can also remove story information mapped to a specific episode. Additionally, the translation server 130 can remove story information mapped to a specific episode in response to a request for removal of story information in the operator account.
[0088] On the other hand, the content episode files may be modified on the management server 120. Modifications to episodes on the management server 120 can be carried out in various ways. For example, at least a portion of the episode may be changed, or an existing episode file may be replaced with another file.
[0089] On the translation server 130, in conjunction with the modification of an episode on the management server 120, the existing translation target document on the translation server 130 can be replaced with one corresponding to the modified episode. The translation server 130 can receive the translation target document corresponding to the modified episode from the management server 120 and replace the existing translation target document with the modified translation target document.
[0090] In this case, the translation server 130 can determine whether or not to replace the source document for translation based on different criteria depending on whether or not it has received translated terms for the episode from the translator terminal (or first terminal) 210.
[0091] If translations for an episode have not been received, the translation server 130 can automatically replace the existing source document. Alternatively, if translations for an episode have been received, the translation server 130 can send notification information to the operator account informing them of the revision of the source document. For example, as shown in Figure 4a, a specific graphic object (e.g., a green dot) 432a may be displayed in a region of item 432 corresponding to the revised source document.
[0092] The translation server 130 can replace the document to be translated in response to a request to replace the document from the operator account. If the operator account selects the specific graphic object 432a, the translation server 130 can provide the operator account with the original document to be translated (existing image) A and the modified document to be translated (modified image) B, as shown in Figure 4b. The operator account can then compare the original document to be translated A and the modified document to be translated B and decide whether or not to replace the document to be translated.
[0093] On the other hand, the operator account includes manager registration authority, and the translation server 130 can register a specific user account as a manager based on receiving a manager registration request for that specific user account from the operator account (see S306, Figure 3a).
[0094] In this invention, the manager can set the work process and assign tasks for the episode translation process.
[0095] As shown in Figure 4a, the translation server 130 can receive manager registration requests from the operator account via the service page 400a, which include information 420 about a specific user account. The manager registration request may include the manager's name. If registration of multiple managers is requested for a single piece of content, the manager registration request may include information matching each of the managers' names with the episode (or story) they are responsible for.
[0096] The translation server 130 can register the work process and assigned personnel for the episode translation process using either an operator account or a manager account (see S308, Figure 3a).
[0097] In this invention, depending on whether the operator account and manager account are used to register the person in charge of the work, the management server 120 and the translation server 130 can proceed with linking between user accounts (Teammate linking) (see S307, Figure 3a).
[0098] In the management server 120 and translation server 130, if a request for registration of a person in charge is received from an operator account, the requested user can be registered as the person in charge without the user account linking process. In contrast, the management server 120 and translation server 130 can only proceed with person in charge registration for user accounts linked to a manager account. If the manager account and the relevant user account are not linked, the management server 120 and translation server 130 can proceed with person in charge registration after linking the user account via Teammate invitation.
[0099] For the sake of explanation, in the following examples, we will assume that the person in charge is registered using a manager account, and that the user accounts of the manager and the person in charge have been linked.
[0100] The translation process in the present invention may include at least one of a plurality of work processes, and the translation server 130 can provide a translation work interface corresponding to the work process to the terminal device of the person in charge of the work process.
[0101] As shown in Figure 4c, in the present invention, the work process (or work step) 440 included in the translation process may include at least one of the following: i) translation (or input of translated terms) 441; ii) editing 442 for correcting and inputting translated terms; iii) proofreading 443 for conveying feedback using messages for translated terms; iv) lettering 444 for changing the characters of episodes in the original content to translated terms; and v) image quality assurance (QA) 445 for verifying images that reflect the translated terms.
[0102] The translation server 130 can configure the translation process so that it includes at least one of several work processes 441 to 445, depending on the manager account. The manager account allows for diverse configurations of the translation process depending on the episode status, vendor status, etc. For example, as shown in Figure 4c, the translation server 130 can configure the process to include only the Translation-Lettering-QA 451 work, or it can configure the process to include the entire Translation-Editing-Proofreading-Lettering-QA 452 work.
[0103] On the translation server 130, the person in charge of a work process can be identified based on the identification of the work process for each episode of the content. The translation server 130 can match the work process (e.g., Translation) 461a, the person in charge (user account) 461b, and the episode in charge (episodes 1-20) 461c and store them in the database as a person in charge dataset 461. Based on the information received from the manager account, the translation server 130 can configure and store in the database person in charge datasets 461 and 462 for each work process of an episode. Then, as the translation process of an episode progresses, the translation server 130 can refer to the database to check the person in charge of the current work process.
[0104] As shown in Figure 4c, the manager account may be provided with an administration page 400d related to the management of the episode translation process. Through the administration page 400d, the manager can perform overall operational management of the translation process, manage assignees, and manage deadlines. For this purpose, the administration page 400d may include a list of content to be translated 470 assigned to the manager account, information on each assignee in the translation process 480, information on the progress of work for each episode, a deadline setting function, a function to register and modify publicly available information, and a file upload function.
[0105] Furthermore, the manager account may have the authority to modify the story information of an episode and replace the manuscript to be translated. In this case, the modification of the story information of an episode and the replacement of the manuscript to be translated may be performed by at least one of the operator account and the manager account. The method for modifying the story information of an episode and replacing the manuscript to be translated is the same as the method for the operator account, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.
[0106] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5a, the translation server 130 can provide an editor 500a to each terminal of the person in charge of a task included in the translation process. The editor 500a is an interface that can perform translation process tasks and may include at least one of the following: i) a work progress area 501 showing the current task (or work status) and the person in charge of each task; ii) a memo area 502 displaying work-related memos or communication messages between task personnel; iii) a content list area 503 displaying the content to be translated assigned to the person in charge; and iv) a translation support tool area 504 such as a glossary.
[0107] Furthermore, the translation server 130 can provide different translation editors based on the assigned tasks of the personnel. Below, the entire translation process will be explained in the order of Translation - Editing - Proofreading - Lettering - QA, along with a description of the translation editors provided to the personnel in charge of each stage of the process.
[0108] First, the management server 120 may upload the manuscripts to be translated for each episode of the content (see S309, Figure 3b). For example, the management server 120 can receive the manuscripts to be translated from the author account (or author terminal) that creates the content episodes and upload them to the management server 120's database. Another example is that the management server 120 can receive the manuscripts to be translated from the account (or terminal) of the person in charge of uploading the content and upload them to the management server 120's database. In this invention, there can be various methods by which the manuscripts to be translated are uploaded to the management server 120.
[0109] The management server 120 can send the document to be translated to the translation server 130 so that the translation process for the document can proceed in cooperation with the translation server 130 (S310, see Figure 3b).
[0110] In this case, the translation server 130 can change the file format of the document to be translated provided to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210 to a different format. Such a file format may be one that is easier to translate and may be converted using an operator account or manager account.
[0111] For example, the translation server 130 can proceed with the task of converting the source document received from the management server 120 to a low-capacity format (see S311, Figure 3b). However, in this example, converting to a low-capacity format is merely illustrative; it is also possible to convert to a high-capacity format as needed, or to change the format regardless of capacity based on the translator's opinion, etc.
[0112] As described above, the content episodes in the present invention may consist of a first type of file containing multiple layers. The first type of file can separate layers according to different elements (e.g., background, characters, text, speech bubbles, etc.), and the management server 120 can provide the first type of file to the translation server 130 in order to facilitate the translation of the language of the first country to the language of the second country. The first type of file consists of multiple layers and is easy to modify, but may also be a high-capacity file. Since the translator does not perform any modification work on the source document to be translated, it is not necessary for the source document to be a high-capacity first type file. For efficient data communication, the translation server 130 can convert the source document in the first type of file into a second type of file, which has a smaller capacity than the first type of file, and provide it to the first terminal (translator terminal) 210.
[0113] As shown in Figure 5b, the translation server 130 can provide the translator terminal with a translation editor 500b for the translator. The translation editor 500b for the translator may include a first to third area 510 to 530. The first area 510 of the translation editor may display the source document 511 having a second type of file format which is low in size, and the second area 520 of the translation editor may display text (for example, "Do you want pizza?") 521 that corresponds to the language of the first country extracted from the source document 511. The third area 530 of the translation editor may output a translation support tool that recommends translations for the text extracted from the source document based on a database of the languages of the first and second countries.
[0114] In the translator terminal (first terminal) 210, the translation corresponding to the language of the first country included in the document to be translated may be entered (see S312, Figure 3b). As shown in Figure 5b, the translation server 130 can activate and display an input window 522 in the second area 520 for the text (e.g., "Do you want to eat pizza?") 521 corresponding to the language of the first country. The translation server 130 can receive and input the translation (e.g., "Do you want to go eat pizza?") 523 for the text (e.g., "Do you want to eat pizza?") 521 corresponding to the language of the first country via the input window 522.
[0115] Based on receiving a translation term, the translation server 130 can match the received translation term with the corresponding text in the language of the first country and store it in the database. For example, suppose the translation server 130 receives the text "Do you want to eat pizza?" in the language of the second country via the input window 522 corresponding to the text "Do you want to eat pizza?" in the language of the first country. The control unit 230 can match "Do you want to eat pizza?" and "Do you want to eat pizza?" and store them in the database. In this case, the translation server 130 can also match information about the episode of the content from which the language of the first country was extracted with the position information of the text in the episode and store them in the database.
[0116] The translation server 130 can provide the reviewer terminal 230 with the text extracted from the document to be translated (or the original image corresponding to the document to be translated) and the translated words (or the image converted to the translated words) so that the translated words received from the translator's terminal can be reviewed (see S313, Figure 3b).
[0117] As described above, the acceptance process for checking translations in the present invention may include editing acceptance, which involves correcting and inputting the translations; proofreading acceptance, which involves using messages related to the translations to convey feedback; and image acceptance, which involves checking the typesetting file. The acceptance process described in the present procedure may correspond to the "editing acceptance process," which involves correcting and inputting the translations.
[0118] As described above, in the present invention, various types of files generated during the translation process can be managed by mapping (or matching) them with each other based on the episodes of the original content. Such mapped information may be used to verify the accuracy of the translation by comparing the translated output with the original content.
[0119] As shown in Figure 5c, the translation server 130 can provide a comparison window (or a review editor including a comparison window) 500c for comparing episodes and translations so that the editing review officer can review the translations. In this case, the review comparison window 500c shown in Figure 5c can be output in a pop-up format to the translation editor shown in Figure 5b and provided to the review officer overlapping with the screen of the translation editor.
[0120] In the first area 540 of the acceptance comparison window 500c, an image 541 in which the language of the first country in the episode has been converted into a translated term may be output, and in the second area 550 of the acceptance comparison window 500c, the original image 551 of the episode may be output.
[0121] In this case, the translation server 130 can control at least a portion of the translation editor 500b output to the translator's terminal and the acceptance comparison window 500c output to the acceptance inspector's terminal to work in conjunction with each other. More specifically, the translation server 130 can synchronize the output of the image displayed on the first area 510 of the translation editor 500b to the first area 540 of the acceptance comparison window 500c. For example, based on the reception of a translated word from the translator's terminal 210, the translation server 130 can output an image of the first country's language converted to the translated word on the first area 510 of the translation editor 500b. In conjunction with this, the translation server 130 can also output an image 514 of the translation editor 500b of the first country's language converted to the translated word on the first area 540 of the acceptance comparison window 500c.
[0122] On the other hand, in the present invention, once the content episode files are received from the author, the administrator can manage the files. In this case, the present invention provides an environment in which all files received from the author and files managed by the administrator can be provided to the reviewer, enabling cross-checking. For the sake of explanation, in the present invention, the content episode files received from the author can be named the original image of the first attribute, and the content episode files managed by the administrator can be named the original image of the second attribute. As shown in Figure 5c, the translation server 130 can output an image 541 in which the language of the first country in the episode has been converted to the translated words in the first area 540 of the review comparison window 500c, output the original image 551 of the first attribute in the second area 550 of the review comparison window 500c, and output the original image 561 of the second attribute in the third area 560 of the review comparison window 500c, and provide these to the editing reviewer terminal 230. In this case, one of the original images of the first attribute and the second attribute (551) may be the original image stored on the authorization server, and the other (561) may be the original image stored on the service server that serves the content episodes to webcomic subscribers. The original image stored on the authorization server and the original image stored on the service server may differ from each other due to resizing or other factors.
[0123] On the inspector terminal 230, the original image and the image displaying the translated terms can be compared, and the translated terms can be corrected to perform editing inspection (see S314, Figure 3b).
[0124] Furthermore, in this invention, proofreading may be carried out in which feedback is conveyed to the translator using messages related to the translated terms. The proofreader may be the same user as the editing proofreader, or a different user. The translation server 130 can send a message to the translator terminal based on receiving a message containing feedback information for the translated terms from the proofreader terminal. The translation server 130 can display the feedback information received from the proofreader terminal in one area of the translation editor 500b. In this case, the translation server 130 can display the feedback information in the area surrounding the translated term to be feedbacked (for example, "Do you want to go eat pizza?").
[0125] The translation server 130 can generate a translation file for the source document based on the completion of the acceptance check for the translated terms (S315, Figure 3b).
[0126] The translation server 130 can update its translations based on receiving corrected translations that reflect the acceptance results from the translation terminal. In this case, the translation server 130 can use the updated translations to generate a translation file for the source document.
[0127] In this invention, "translation file" may mean a file provided to a typesetting designer responsible for lettering the translated words.
[0128] As shown in Figure 5d, the translation server 130 can generate a translation file 500d containing a dataset 570 in which the language of the first country (e.g., "Shall we go eat pizza?") 571 and the corresponding translation (e.g., "Do you want to go eat pizza?") 572 are matched with each other. Furthermore, the translation server 130 can further match information about the episode from which the language of the first country was extracted (e.g., "Yuna's Cells Episode 23") 573 and the location information of the language extracted on the episode to construct the dataset 570. The translation server 130 can then use such a dataset 570 to generate a translation file 500d.
[0129] On the other hand, if there is text that has not been extracted from the source document to be translated, the translator can capture the region containing the text and proceed with the translation work for that text. Based on the capture event occurring on the translator terminal, the translation server 130 can add the captured image to the list of items to be translated. The translation server 130 can receive the translated word corresponding to the captured image from the translator terminal. As shown in Figure 5d, the translation server 130 can construct a dataset 570' by matching at least some of the following with each other: the captured image 577, the translated word (whoosh) 574 corresponding to the text contained in the captured image (e.g., "Yuna's Cells Episode 23") 575, the location information of the image captured on the episode, and the original text ("whoosh") 576 contained in the captured image. Then, the translation server 130 can generate a translation file 500d using such a dataset 570'.
[0130] The translation server 130 can generate translation files as at least one of a first type of file and a third type of file. The typesetting designer must input (create, design, or sketch) the translations in the areas where the language of the first country was located, and it is extremely important to intuitively recognize the matching relationship between the language of the first country and the translation in the language of the second country. Therefore, in this invention, translation files can be generated and provided to the typesetting designer as a third type of file having a table structure.
[0131] As shown in Figure 5d, the translation file 500d having the third type of file has a table structure, and multiple cells contained in the table area may contain the languages of the first country and the second country matched to each other.
[0132] In the second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220, a typesetting file may be generated using the translation file (S316, Figure 3b). In the second terminal (typesetting designer terminal) 220, based on the translation file, the language characters of the first country included in the character layer among the multiple layers constituting the source manuscript file to be translated may be changed to the translated words in the language of the second country. The typesetting designer terminal 220 can send and upload the typesetting file to the translation server 130 (see S317, Figure 3b). The typesetting file may consist of a first type of file consisting of multiple layers.
[0133] Once the typesetting file is uploaded to the translation server 130, the final acceptance of the typesetting file may be performed on the image acceptance officer's acceptance terminal 230 (see S318, Figure 3b). In Figure 3b, even though the acceptance terminals for editing acceptance, proofreading acceptance, and image acceptance (or final acceptance) are all shown as "acceptance terminal 230" without distinction, the persons in charge of editing acceptance, proofreading acceptance, and image acceptance (or final acceptance) may be different from each other, and in this case, the acceptance terminals may also be different.
[0134] As shown in Figure 5e, the translation server 130 can provide the QA editor 500e to the image acceptance terminal. The translation server 130 can output a typesetting file image 581 of the content episode to the first area 580 of the QA editor 500e. The translation server 130 can then output the original image 591 of the content episode to the second area 590 of the QA editor 500e. In other words, the translation server 130 can output a translated episode image 581 with the translated words (language of the second country) reflected in the first area 580 of the QA editor 500e, and a translation target image 591 with the language of the first country displayed in the second area 590 of the QA editor 500e.
[0135] Image reviewers can perform a final check via the QA Editor 500e to verify whether the translation is correct and whether the typesetting is accurate.
[0136] Based on the occurrence of a capture event while the typesetting file image 581 is displayed in the first area 580 of the QA editor 500e, the captured image may be added as an acceptance item 610 to the third area 600 of the QA editor 500e. An acceptance message 620 for the acceptance item 610 may be entered on the acceptance terminal.
[0137] Based on the receipt of an acceptance message 620 for an acceptance item 610 from the acceptance terminal, the translation server 130 can send the acceptance message 620 to at least one of the translator terminal (first terminal) 210 and the typesetting terminal (second terminal). In other words, in the present invention, the process of performing an acceptance check on the typesetting file and sending an acceptance message to the second terminal via the translation server may be performed.
[0138] Based on the completion of final acceptance testing of the translated episodes, the translation server 130 and the management server 120 can use typesetting files created based on the language of the second country to generate translated episodes corresponding to episodes created based on the language of the first country (see S319, Figure 3b).
[0139] Thus, the content translation and operation system 100 according to the present invention can translate the language of a first country contained in the content into the language of a second country through various work processes such as translation, typesetting, and acceptance, and generate translated content that reflects the language of the second country. By using such translated content, it is possible to go beyond providing content services in a specific country and provide content services to various consumers in various countries. Consumers can use the same content in their own language, and even if they use different languages, they can form a common ground and share culture with each other.
[0140] The present invention relates to a method and system for content translation operations, and can provide the functions and environment necessary for content translation, lettering, and acceptance testing in conjunction with content provision services. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method and system for content translation operations that can provide communication tools among workers (e.g., Inbox, Message), and management functions for the translation, lettering, and acceptance testing processes.
[0141] As discussed above, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention can send the source manuscript for translation to the translation server for content episodes created on a management server based on the language of a first country. The management server plays the role of managing and providing the source content to the translation server, and can ensure that the translation process is carried out consistently on the translation server based on the source content.
[0142] Furthermore, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention provides the source document to be translated to a first terminal device via the translation server, and receives translations from the first terminal device that correspond to a second country language different from the first country language, based on the source document. The user of the first terminal device is provided with an efficient translation environment optimized for translation from the translation server, and the translation server can receive translation results translated from the first terminal device from the first country language to the second country language.
[0143] Furthermore, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention can generate a translation file for the source manuscript using the received translations on the translation server, and provide the translation file to a second terminal on the translation server. The user of the second terminal can intuitively recognize and match the translations with the episodes of the original content via the translation file and proceed with the lettering work.
[0144] Furthermore, the content translation operation method and system according to the present invention can receive an image file corresponding to the episode, which has been translated into the language of the second country using the translation file, from the second terminal, and provide consumers with content translated into various languages.
[0145] Furthermore, the present invention, as discussed above, can be embodied as computer-readable code or instruction words on a medium on which a program is recorded. That is, the present invention can be provided in the form of a program.
[0146] On the other hand, computer-readable media include all types of recording devices that store data readable by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable media include HDDs (Hard Disk Drives), SSDs (Solid State Disks), SSDs (Silicon Disk Drives), ROMs, RAMs, CD-ROMs, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, and optical data storage devices.
[0147] Furthermore, the computer-readable medium may include storage and may be a server or cloud storage accessible by electronic devices via communication. In this case, the computer can download the program according to the present invention from the server or cloud storage via wired or wireless communication.
