LANGUAGE TEACHING AND TRANSLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A computer-implemented system for translating words from one language to another is provided. The system allows a user to select a word for translation when the word appears in an application program or in an operating system on the computer. The system identifies words to be translated by copying and pasting the words from other window-based programs or by optically recognizing the characters of the words. The system uses a translation markup language to facilitate complex translations. The system provides teaching functionality to facilitate a user's learning of vocabulary words in multiple languages.
