    摘要: A translation device is configured to translate from a first language into a second language and includes a first language acquisition unit, a polyseme processor, and a first language output unit. The first language acquisition unit acquires a sentence in the first language. The polyseme processor determines whether or not a word in the second language for a word in the first language included in the sentence is a polyseme, and acquires a plurality of candidate meanings for the word in the second language when the word in the second language is determined as a polyseme. The first language output unit outputs the plurality of candidate meanings.

    摘要: Translation capability for language processing determines an existence of an abbreviation, followed by non-exact matching to map the abbreviation to the original full term. A received string in a source language is provided as input to a translation service. Translation proposals in a different target language are received back. A ruleset (considering factors, e.g., camel case format, the presence of a concluding period, and/or consecutive consonants) is applied to generate abbreviation candidates from the translation proposals. Non-exact matching (referencing e.g., a comparison metric) may then be used to map the abbreviation candidates to text strings of their original full terms. A mapping of the abbreviation to the text string of the original full term is stored in a translation database comprising linguistic data. Embodiments leverage existing resources (e.g., translation service, non-exact matching) to reduce effort and expense of accurately identifying abbreviations and then mapping them to their full original terms.

    摘要: A process receives, with a processor, audio corresponding to media content. Further, the process converts, with the processor, the audio to text. In addition, the process concatenates, with the processor, the text with one or more time codes. The process also parses, with the processor, the concatenated text into one or more text chunks according to one or more subtitle parameters. Further, the process automatically translates, with the processor, the parsed text from a first spoken language to a second spoken language. Moreover, the process determines, with the processor, if the language translation complies with the one or more subtitle parameters. Additionally, the process outputs, with the processor, the language translation to a display device for display of the one or more text chunks as one or more subtitles at one or more times corresponding to the one or more time codes.
