An approach, performed by a device, for recommending at least one word to be input through a keyboard is provided. The approach displays the keyboard to be used to input at least one character or text on the device. The approach selects at least one language model. The approach recommends the at least one word related to at least one character or text inputted on the keyboard, based on the at least one inputted character or text and the at least one selected language model, in which the at least one selected language model comprises at least one of a language model based on demographic properties of a user of the device, a language model based on text input histories of the user of the device, and a language model based on a context in which the keyboard is executed.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a translation program causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes: displaying image information, text regions, and original text in association with each other, the text regions being obtained by extracting regions including an image of text from the image information, the original text being obtained by performing character recognition on the text included in the text regions; and editing the text regions in accordance with the content of a received operation.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computing device having a controller to obtain a user input that was inputted into a first accessory operably coupled with the computing device where the first accessory provides a user interface for user interaction with a video game, determine a language of an intended recipient of the user input based on an identity of the intended recipient, access a multi-lingual library comprising a plurality of words associated with the video game, match the user input to one or more words of the plurality of words of the multi-lingual library to generate a translated message in the determined language of the intended recipient, and provide the translated message to a second accessory for presentation to the intended recipient in real-time. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

According to various embodiments of the disclosure techniques for generating outgoing messages are disclosed. The technique includes receiving a request to generate an outgoing message for a recipient and retrieving one or more recipient preferences of the recipient from a recipient preferences database. The one or more recipient preferences relate to customization of messages that are to be delivered to the recipient. The technique further includes retrieving a message template from a plurality of message templates stored in a message template database based on the request and the one or more recipient preferences. The technique also includes generating the outgoing message based on the retrieved message template and the one or more recipient preferences, and providing the outgoing message to the recipient.

A method for machine translation, comprising receiving a source string in a source language, an indication of a target language, and user identification information. The method includes using the user identification information to identify at least one memory with user-specific translation data. The method includes tokenizing the source string, using at least one processor, to produce a tokenized source string comprising any unique temporary textual elements associated with corresponding target textual elements during tokenization. The method includes obtaining a translated string from a translator, the translated string being at least a partial translation of the tokenized source string and including all of the unique temporary textual elements. The method includes generating an output string using at least one processor, the generation comprising replacing all of the unique temporary textual elements in the translated string with the associated target textual elements.

In certain implementations, follow-up responses may be provided for prior natural language inputs of a user. As an example, a natural language input associated with a user may be received at a computer system. A determination of whether information sufficient for providing an adequate response to the natural language input is currently accessible to the computer system may be effectuated. A first response to the natural language input (that indicates that a follow-up response will be provided) may be provided based on a determination that information sufficient for providing an adequate response to the natural language input is not currently accessible. Information sufficient for providing an adequate response to the natural language input may be received. A second response to the natural language input may then be provided based on the received sufficient information.

An image forming system includes a mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus capable of wirelessly communicating with each other. The mobile terminal stores therein setting information. The mobile terminal includes a first processor. The first processor performs a process of transmitting the setting information to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a second processor and a printing device. The second processor performs an image process on an image according to the setting information transmitted from the mobile terminal. The printing device forms the image processed by the image process on a recording medium.

For language elements that indicate or suggest time, such as adverbs, these also contain date and time information that can be used to quantify time for a single piece of text or for an entire repository. This quantification of time can then be used by many applications, such as a mobile device that needs to know when to execute a command or when an investigator is trying to piece together a chain of events from different documents.

A first utterance is received. A first language associated with the first utterance is identified. The first utterance is translated into a second language and outputted at a pair of earphones that occludes a direct sound path associated with utterances.

The present disclosure presents a directional translation method and a directional translation apparatus based on artificial intelligence. The method includes: receiving directional translation information that is set by a user for translating a first word in a translation file into a second word; and translating the first word in the translation file into the second word. With the directional translation method and the directional translation apparatus based on artificial intelligence provided in the present disclosure, the word is translated directionally into a result needed, thereby improving accuracy and efficiency of translation.
