wherein the translation input as the second-language text by the first user of the user terminal and the translation submitted as the second-language text by at least one other user of at least one other user terminal are in a same language,

wherein, the other translations display unit is displayed together with the first-language text display unit and the second-language text input unit, and when the second-language text is input in the second-language text input unit on the display screen by the first user, the input second-language text is reflected and displayed on the text data display unit of the content data display unit displayed on the display screen, and

wherein the content data display unit further comprises a font editor unit provided for each predetermined unit text of the second-language text for editing a font of the second-language text reflected and displayed on the text data display unit of the content data display unit.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the text data comprises at least one unit text, and

wherein the text data editor unit is configured to allow the first user to input a translation of each of the at least one unit text.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the text data editor unit comprises at least one unit text editor unit, each of which is configured to edit one of the at least one unit text, and

wherein each of the at least one unit text editor unit comprises the first-language text display unit the second-language text input unit and the other translations display unit.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein, when the text data comprises a previously stored second-language text input by the first user, the previously stored second-language text is displayed on the second-language text input unit.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein, when a plurality of previously stored second-language texts input by the first user are present, criteria for determining a second-language text to be first displayed among the plurality of previously stored second-language texts comprise at least one among whether a second-language text is created by the first user of the terminal, a time when the plurality of previously stored second-language texts are input, and whether the second-language text to be first displayed is selected by a manager.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content data display unit controls a first font of the text data edited by the first user to be provided to a second user.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the content data display unit further displays a scroll unit for scrolling the image data in at least one direction, and

wherein when the scroll unit is operated to scroll the image data according to a user input, the text data editor unit is scrolled together with the image data.

8. A method of providing a translations editor for translating content, on a display screen of at least one user terminal, the method comprising:

displaying, on the user terminal, text data and image data, which are extracted from content data, together in a content data display unit displayed on the display screen of the user terminal, the content data display unit including an image data display unit on which the image data is displayed, and a text data display unit on which the text data is displayed; and

providing a text data editor unit configured to be displayed proximate to, and simultaneously with, the content data display unit on the display screen and including a first-language text display unit for displaying a first-language text included in the text data, a second-language text input unit in which a translation of the first-language text is input as a second-language text by a first user of the user terminal, and an other translations display unit, proximate the second-language text input unit, for displaying a translation of the first-language text submitted as a second-language text by at least one other user of at least one other user terminal,

wherein the translation input as the second-language text by the first user of the user terminal and the translation submitted as the second-language text by at least one other user of at least one other user terminal are in a same language,

wherein, the other translations display unit is displayed together with the first-language text display unit and the second-language text input unit, and when the second-language text is input in the second-language text input unit on the display screen by the user, the input second-language text is reflected and displayed on the text data display unit of the content data display unit displayed on the display screen, and

wherein the content data display unit further comprises a font editor unit provided for each predetermined unit text of the second-language text for editing a font of the second-language text reflected and displayed on the text data display unit of the content data display unit.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the text data comprises at least one unit text,

wherein the text data editor unit is configured to allow the first user to input a translation of each of the at least one unit text.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first-language text display unit and the second-language text input unit are provided for each of the at least one unit text.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising controlling a first font of the text data edited by the first user to be provided to a second user.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein, when the text data comprises a previously stored second-language text input by the first user, the providing of the text data editor unit comprises displaying the previously stored second-language text in the second-language text input unit.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein, when a plurality of previously stored second-language texts input by the first user are present, criteria for determining a second-language text to be first displayed among the plurality of previously stored second-language texts comprise at least one among whether a second-language text is created by the first user of the terminal, a time when the plurality of previously stored second-language texts are input, and whether the second-language text to be first displayed is selected by a manager.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein when the image data is scrolled, the first-language text display unit and the second-language text input unit are scrolled together with the image data.

displaying, on the user terminal, text data and image data, which are extracted from content data, together in a content data display unit displayed on the display screen of the user terminal, the content data display unit including an image data display unit on which the image data is displayed, and a text data display unit on which the text data is displayed; and

providing a text data editor unit configured to be displayed proximate to, and

simultaneously with, the content data display unit on the display screen and including a first-language text display unit for displaying a first-language text included in the text data, a second-language text input unit in which a translation of the first-language text is input as a second-language text by a first user of the user terminal, and an other translations display unit, proximate the second-language text input unit, for displaying a translation of the first-language text submitted as a second-language text by at least one other user of at least one other user terminal,

wherein the translation input as the second-language text by the first user of the user terminal and the translation submitted as the second-language text by at least one other user of at least one other user terminal are in a same language,

wherein, the other translations display unit is displayed together with the first-language text display unit and the second-language text input unit, and when the second-language text is input in the second-language text input unit on the display screen by the user, the input second-language text is reflected and displayed on the text data display unit of the content data display unit displayed on the display screen, and
