Dynamic language translation of web site content
A method, system and computer program product for providing translated web content is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request from a user on a web site, the web site having a first web content in a first language, wherein the request calls for a second web content in a second language. The method further includes dividing the first web content into a plurality of translatable components and generating a unique identifier for each translatable component. The method further includes identifying a plurality of translated components of the second web content using the unique identifier of each of the plurality of translatable components of the first web content and putting the plurality of translated components of the second web content to preserve a format that corresponds to the first web content. The method further includes providing the second web content in response to the request that was received.
1. A method implemented on a computer having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform for providing translated web content, comprising the steps of:
receiving a request from a user for content in a second language translated from content in a first language;
obtaining in response to the request, via a public network connection, the content in the first language from a source that hosts the content in the first language;
dividing the obtained content in the first language into a plurality of translatable components;
determining whether a criterion associated with the plurality of translatable components is satisfied; and
generating, in response to the criterion being satisfied, the content in the second language to be transmitted to the user.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the criterion associated with the plurality of translatable components corresponds to a number of translatable components having corresponding translated components in the second language exceeding a threshold.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sending the obtained content in the first language to the user in response to the criterion being violated.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user triggers, via the request, the obtaining, dividing, determining, and generating steps, without participating in any of the steps.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the translated components in the second language have been previously translated via one of a machine translation, and a human translation.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the threshold is configurable.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically placing in a translation queue, translatable components that do not have a translated component in the second language.
8. A machine-readable, non-transitory and tangible medium having information recorded thereon for providing translated web content, the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform the following:
receiving a request from a user for content in a second language translated from content in a first language;
obtaining in response to the request, via a public network connection, the content in the first language from a source that hosts the content in the first language;
dividing the obtained content in the first language into a plurality of translatable components;
determining whether a criterion associated with the plurality of translatable components is satisfied; and
generating, in response to the criterion being satisfied, the content in the second language to be transmitted to the user.
9. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the criterion associated with the plurality of translatable components corresponds to a number of translatable components having corresponding translated components in the second language exceeding a threshold.
10. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to further perform:
sending the obtained content in the first language to the user in response to the criterion being violated.
11. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the user triggers, via the request, the obtaining, dividing, determining, and generating steps, without participating in any of the steps.
12. The medium of claim 8 , wherein at least some of the translated components in the second language have been previously translated via one of a machine translation, and a human translation.
13. The medium of claim 9 , wherein the threshold is configurable.
14. The medium of claim 8 , wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to further perform:
automatically placing in a translation queue, translatable components that do not have a translated component in the second language.
