Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content localization techniques face challenges in maintaining design integrity and user experience across languages, often resulting in truncated or misaligned text when translating webpages, requiring frequent design updates and testing.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a content presentation localization system that includes a content adaptation engine, a content design structure adaptation engine, and an image analysis-based adaptation engine, which automatically adjusts the content design structure and text to ensure consistency and alignment across languages, using machine translation and natural language processing to select optimal text and adapt wireframes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional content localization techniques are used to translate webpages, then text can be translated into different languages, but the translated text becomes truncated or misaligned with the original design structure

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelanguage adaptabilityVSAvoiddesign structure alignment

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the content design structure based on the translated content characteristics. Instead of using a static wireframe, the system modifies the design structure dynamically to accommodate different language text lengths and formatting requirements, preventing truncation and misalignment while maintaining design integrity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters of the content design structure such as text box dimensions, line heights, and spacing based on the translated content. By adjusting these parameters automatically, the system ensures that translated text fits properly within the design structure without manual intervention for each language version.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If translated content is adapted to fit the original content design structure, then design consistency is maintained, but the cost of testing and multiple design updates increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedesign consistencyVSAvoidtesting and design update time

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary adaptation of the content design structure before finalizing the translated content. By anticipating and pre-adjusting the design structure based on translation characteristics, the system eliminates the need for multiple subsequent design updates and extensive testing, reducing time loss while maintaining design consistency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adapts the content design structure without requiring manual testing and repeated design updates. The localization system serves itself by autonomously adjusting design parameters and verifying content fit, eliminating the need for external manual intervention and reducing overall testing time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If manual design updates are performed for each language version, then content alignment can be maintained, but web development speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent alignmentVSAvoidweb development speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical design updates with an automated computational system. Instead of manually adjusting design parameters for each language version, the system uses algorithms to automatically adapt the content design structure, maintaining content alignment while dramatically increasing web development speed for localized versions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal content design structure that can automatically adapt to multiple languages simultaneously. This multi-functional approach allows the same adaptive structure to serve all language versions, eliminating the need for separate manual design processes for each language and thereby increasing overall web development productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Techniques for localization of a content presentation in an information processing system are provided. In one example, a method adapts translated content to accommodate an original content design structure (e.g., wireframe) when such translated content is inconsistent with the original content design structure. In another example, a method adapts the original content design structure when translated content is inconsistent with the original content design structure. In yet another example, an image analysis method is used to adapt translated content determined to be inconsistent with the original content design structure.
