Translation comments flowback for document review and input
The patent US12014136B2 outlines a method and system for facilitating the review of documents that have been translated into different languages. The process begins with obtaining a primary document in a primary language and a first document containing translated sections in a different language. These translated sections are linked to specific sections of the primary document through a content identifier. The first document is then sent to a user for review, who can provide feedback by selecting content from the translated sections and adding comments. This feedback is subsequently integrated into the primary document, ensuring that the context is preserved despite the differences in language and character count between the translated and primary documents.
Additionally, the patent describes the capability to handle multiple languages by allowing the review of a second document, which contains translations in yet another language. The system is designed to manage inputs from multiple users, enabling the transmission of feedback between them while maintaining the integrity of the original content. The content identifier plays a crucial role in mapping the translated sections to the primary document, and the system can utilize hierarchical data structures for organization. The method also includes features for associating user selections with specific metadata, enhancing the review process's efficiency and accuracy. Overall, this patent presents a structured approach to multilingual document review, leveraging technology to streamline communication and feedback across language barriers.
