Systems and methods for correcting translations in multi-user multi-lingual communications

摘要

Various embodiments described herein facilitate multi-lingual communications. The systems and methods of some embodiments enable multi-lingual communications through different modes of communication including, for example, Internet-based chat, e-mail, text-based mobile phone communications, postings to online forums, postings to online social media services, and the like. Certain embodiments implement communication systems and methods that translate text between two or more languages. Users of the systems and methods may be incentivized to submit corrections for inaccurate or erroneous translations, and may receive a reward for these submissions. Systems and methods for assessing the accuracy of translations are described.

1. A method comprising:
performing by one or more computer processors:
obtaining an original text message in a first language authored by a first user:obtaining an initial translation of the original text message in a second language;obtaining a translation correction of the initial translation, wherein the translation correction is authored by a second user;calculating at least one metric associated with the translation correction, the at least one metric being based on a comparison of a word-based feature of the original text and the translation correction, wherein calculating the at least one metric comprises determining a difference in a number of words, characters, emojis, numbers, or punctuation marks between the original text and the translation correction; anddetermining an accuracy of the translation correction based on the at least one metric.
