Method and system for providing translation for conference assistance

1. A translation providing method for providing real-time language translation during a video conference, implemented by a computer apparatus having at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions included in a memory, the method comprising:

setting a first language of a first user in a conference and a second language of a second user in the conference as conference languages;

displaying, as a conference assistance tool, on a screen a basic mode including an original text input in the first language, a translation text that is translated from the original text in the second language, and a reference text translated from the original text or the translation text in a third language different from the first language and the second language;

displaying on the screen a subtitle mode including the original text and the translation text without the reference text; and

providing a switching user interface (UI) on the screen for switching a screen mode between the basic mode and the subtitle mode responsive to a selection of the switching UI by the first user or the second user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the original text and the translation text are displayed in a subtitle form in response to a selection of the subtitle mode using the switching UI.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the original text is displayed to be distinguished from the translation text and the reference text.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the original text, the translation text, and the reference text are sorted and displayed by a same language.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the original text, the translation text, and the reference text are displayed together as a chat message for each user through a chatroom that includes a plurality of users participating in the conference; and

texts corresponding to the language used by the first user are sorted to be in a first column.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subtitle mode is displayed on a subtitle mode screen including at least one of the switching UI for switching to the basic mode, a UI for fixing the subtitle mode screen to a foreground of the screen, a UI for adjusting a transparency of the subtitle mode screen, and a UI for adjusting a size of the subtitle mode screen.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the original text and the translation text in the basic mode are displayed together as a chat message for each user through a chatroom that includes a plurality of users participating in the conference, and

a modification UI for modifying a text with respect to the original text input from the first user is provided on the screen.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein, in a case the original text is modified through the modification UI, status information relating to the modification, instead of the original text, and the translation text that are not modified are displayed on the screen and, in response to a completion of the modification, the modified original text and the modified translation text are displayed on the screen.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the original text and the translation text are displayed together as a chat message for each user through a chatroom that includes a plurality of users participating in the conference, and

the translation providing method further comprises:

recording a minutes document file that includes the chat message for each user.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the recording of the minutes document file comprises selecting a text corresponding to a language selected by a user of the computer apparatus from among the plurality of languages and recording the minutes document file as the chat message for each user.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the translation providing method comprising:

setting a first language of a first user in a conference and a second language of a second user in the conference as conference languages;

displaying, as a conference assistance tool, on a screen a basic mode including an original text input in the first language, a translation text that is translated from the original text in the second language, and a reference text translated from the original text or the translation text in a third language different from the first language and the second language;

displaying on the screen a subtitle mode including the original text and the translation text without the reference text; and

providing a switching user interface (UI) on the screen for switching a screen mode between the basic mode and the subtitle mode responsive to a selection of the switching UI by the first user or the second user.

12. A computer apparatus comprising:

at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions included in a memory,

wherein the at least one processor comprises:

a translation display configured to set a first language of a first user in a conference and a second language of a second user in the conference as conference languages, display, as a conference assistance tool, on a screen a basic mode including an original text input in the first language, a translation text that is translated from the original text in the second language, and a reference text translated from the original text or the translation text in a third language different from the first language and the second language, and display on the screen a subtitle mode including the original text and the translation text without the reference text; and

a screen switcher for switching a screen mode between the basic mode and the subtitle mode responsive to a selection of a switching user interface (UI) provided on the screen.

13. The computer apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the original text and the translation text are displayed in a subtitle form in response to a selection of the subtitle mode using the switching UI.

14. The computer apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the translation display is further configured to

display the original text, the translation text and the reference text as a chat message for each user through a chatroom that includes a plurality of users participating in the conference,
