Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing a translation service by using an electronic device can comprise the steps of: receiving an original text written in a first language; displaying the original text in a first area on a display; generating a translation created by translating the original text into a second language; extracting a keyword from the translation; displaying the translation in a second area on the display; and displaying content related to the keyword in a third area on the display if the keyword is selected from the translation. In addition, other examples are also possible.

Claims (36)

1. A method for providing a translation service at an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving original text written in a first language;

displaying the original text in a first area of a display of the electronic device;

obtaining a translation created by translating the original text into a second language;

obtaining a first keyword of the second language based on the translation and a second keyword of the second language based on a user input, from the translation;

displaying the translation including the first keyword and the second keyword in a second area of the display in a manner that the first keyword and the second keyword are distinguished from other words in the translation;

obtaining first content of the second language related to the first keyword and second content of the second language related to the second keyword; and

displaying the obtained first content and the obtained second content in a third area of the display.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first content and the second content comprise

at least one of a related advertisement, an image, and related search information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the translation created by translating the original text into the second language comprises:

generating a plurality of different translations.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

if a request for displaying other translations excluding the translation displayed in the second area is received, displaying, in a fourth area, translations excluding the translation displayed in the second area, from among the plurality of different translations.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

if one of the translations displayed in the fourth area is selected, removing the translation from the second area; and

displaying, in the second area, the selected translation as a translation obtained by translating the original text into the second language.

6. An electronic device for providing a translation service, the electronic device comprising:

an input interface;

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive text written in a first language,

display the text in a first area of the display of the electronic device,

obtain a translation by translating the text into a second language,

obtain a first keyword of the second language based on the translation and a second keyword of the second language based on a user input using the input interface, from the translation,

control the display to display the translation including the first keyword and the second keyword in a second area such that the first keyword and the second keyword are distinguished from other words in the translation,

obtain first content of the second language related to the first keyword and second content of the second language related to the second keyword, and

control the display to display the first content and the second content in a third area.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the first content and the second content comprise

at least one of a related advertisement, an image, or related search.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to obtain a plurality of different translations.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

if a request for displaying other translations excluding the translation displayed in the second area is received via the input interface, control the display so as to display, in a fourth area, translations excluding the translation displayed in the second area from among the plurality of different translations.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

if one of translations displayed in the fourth area is selected, remove the translation from the second area, and

control the display so as to display the selected translation in the second area as a translation created by translating the text into the second language.
