Providing multi-lingual translation for third party content feed applications

摘要

Multi-lingual translation for third party content feed applications is provided in social network and similar environments in an independent manner from the content feed. A copy of a content feed may be distributed to consumers via content feed channels of a social network or similar service with language specific views. Translation is performed post-content feed based on tagged format of the content feed translating language dependent text into a selected (or detected) language for a user and leaving language independent text in its original form. Support for new languages may be added or existing languages removed independent of the content feed.

1. A method executed at least in part by a computing device for translating content feed data, the method comprising:
a processor of a social networking server receiving a formatted content having an activity event from a content feed provider; the processor receiving a language specific request through an input device; the processor determining a preferred language associated with a client device; the processor translating portions of the formatted content to a language specific string by matching the activity event to an activity template from an activity template lookup table, wherein alternative meanings of the translated portions are encompassed by including additional language independent tag value pairs within a multi value template; and the processor transmitting the translated language specific string to the client device.
