Translating documents based on content

1. A method using a computing system for translating documents based on content, the method comprising:

receiving an request via a user interface of the computing system to perform an optimal translation of a document into a target language, the document comprising text in a source language;

identifying keywords included in a plurality of training datasets and in the document using a keyword module of the computing system;

selecting a preferred translation engine associated with a training data set having identified keywords that are related to identified keywords included in the document; and

directing the preferred translation engine to generate a translated document comprising text in the target language from the document.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

tagging the identified keywords; and

categorizing the document and training datasets based on the tagging.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of a plurality of available translation engines is associated with a training dataset having a different subject matter.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the subject matter associated with the preferred translation engine is related to content associated with the document.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising accessing the document based on location information received through the user interface.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a graphical user interface that enables a user to select the optimal translation or an alternate translation, the alternate translation associated with a user-selected translation engine among a plurality of available translation engines.

7. A method for translating documents based on content, using a computing device that comprises a processor and memory for storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to perform the method, the method comprising:

accessing a document comprising text in a source language;

predicting a translation quality associated with each of a plurality of translation engines using a predictor module;

measuring a degree of alignment between the content associated with the document and content included in each of a plurality of training datasets, each of the plurality of training datasets associated with a different available translation engine;

selecting a preferred translation engine based on the predicted translation quality;

selecting the translation engine associated with the training dataset having the closest degree of alignment as the preferred translation engine;

directing the preferred translation engine to translate the document into a target language to obtain a translated document; and

outputting the translated document.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the preferred translation engine is most likely to produce the most accurate translation of the document relative to the rest of a plurality of available translation engines.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of available translation engines is associated with different subject matter.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining the preferred translation engine from the plurality of available translation engines.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the determining comprises:

evaluating, using a translator evaluation module, previous translations performed by each of the plurality of translation engines;

predicting a translation quality associated with each of the plurality of available translation engines based on the previous translations; and

selecting the translation engine with the highest translation quality prediction as the preferred translation engine.

12. A system for translating documents based on an alignment of content, the system comprising:

a computing device to receive an indication via a user interface to perform an optimal translation of a document into a target language, the document comprising text in a source language, the optimal translation to be executed by a preferred translation engine;

a plurality of available translation engines each including a training dataset for a different subject matter;

an alignment module to measure, using cross correlation, a degree of alignment between content associated with the document and content included in each of the training datasets;

a recommendation engine stored in memory and executable by a processor to identify a preferred translation engine based on the degree of alignment of the training dataset included in the selected translation engine; and

a computing device to output a translated document obtained via the optimal translation executed using the preferred translation engine, the translated document comprising text in the target language.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the recommendation engine is further configured to identify the preferred translation engine based on content associated with the document.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein each of the plurality of available translation engines is associated with different subject matter.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the subject matter associated with the preferred translation engine is related to content associated with the document.

16. The system of claim 12 , further comprising a communications module stored in memory and executable by a processor to access the document based on location information associated with the document and received through the user interface.

17. The system of claim 12 , further comprising an interface module stored in memory and executable by a processor to provide a graphical user interface that enables a user to select the optimal translation or an alternate translation, the alternate translation associated with a user-selected translation engine of the plurality of available translation engines.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program embodied thereon, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for translating documents based on content, the method comprising:

receiving an indication via a user interface to perform an optimal translation of a document into a target language, the document comprising text in a source language;

measuring a degree of alignment between the text associated with the document and content included in each of a plurality of training datasets, each of the plurality of training datasets associated with a different available translation engine;

selecting the translation engine associated with the training dataset having the closest degree of alignment as a preferred translation engine, the optimal translation to be executed by the preferred translation engine;

requesting the preferred translation engine to generate a translated document comprising text in the target language from the document; and

requesting to output of the translated document.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program embodied thereon, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for translating documents based on content, the method comprising:

accessing a document comprising text in a source language;

identifying keywords included in a plurality of training datasets and in the document;

selecting a preferred translation engine associated with a training data set having identified keywords that are related to identified keywords included in the document;

translating the document into a target language using the preferred translation engine to obtain a translated document; and

outputting the translated document.
