Editing Interface for Translated Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing translation services do not provide an intuitive interface for comparing and editing original and translated sentences, leading to inefficiencies and errors, especially when dealing with documents containing multiple categories of text.
Innovation Solution
A method is provided for an editing interface that allows users to compare and edit original and translated sentences intuitively, including the ability to segment or merge sentences, and to select alternative translations from different engines, facilitating quick and accurate editing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single translation engine is used to translate content, then translation speed is improved, but translation accuracy deteriorates when content includes multiple categories of text
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the translation process by dividing content into different categories (e.g., legal terms, technical terms, general text) and applying different translation engines to each segment. This allows each translation engine to specialize in its specific domain, improving overall accuracy while maintaining efficiency through automated categorization and selective translation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal translation system that can handle multiple types of content (legal documents, technical manuals, general text) using a combination of specialized translation engines. The system universally processes all input content by automatically identifying categories and routing to appropriate engines, maintaining both speed and accuracy across diverse text types.
2Device complexity
If translation results are provided without an editing interface, then service simplicity is improved, but user ability to review and modify translations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the translation service with an integrated editing interface, combining what were previously separate functions into a unified system. The interface displays original and translated content side-by-side, allowing users to review, edit, and modify translations directly within the same application, thereby maintaining simplicity while enabling comprehensive review capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary interface layer between the translation engine and the user. This interface acts as a mediator that presents translation results in a user-friendly format, enables easy editing and modification, and facilitates communication between the user and the translation system without adding significant complexity to the overall service.
3Reliability
If manual modification of translation errors is required, then translation quality can be improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the translation engine automatically translate the entire document first, providing a complete baseline translation. The system then presents this preliminary translation to the user with highlighting or marking of potential errors, allowing users to focus their review time only on problematic areas rather than reading the entire translation, thereby reducing overall time consumption while maintaining high quality.

AI summary
A method of providing, by a computing device, an editing interface for translated content, include receiving, from a server, one or more original sentences and one or more translated sentences, wherein the one or more translated sentences are results of translating, by the server, the one or more original sentences by using a first translation engine, and displaying the one or more original sentences and the one or more translated sentences to correspond to one another.
