Claim:
1. A method comprising: presenting, by a system comprising a processor and to equipment of a first user, a ranked list of translation possibilities in a first order, and a list of alternative translation possibilities, wherein the ranked list of translation possibilities and the list of alternative translation possibilities comprise machine translations of a source text in an original language distinct from the machine translations, wherein the ranked list of translation possibilities and the list of alternative translation possibilities are contemporaneously presented to equipment of a second user, allowing the first user and the second user to participate in a collaborative translation of the source text; detecting, by the system, an input from the equipment of the first user, the input identifying a translation possibility from the list of alternative translation possibilities; re-ranking, by the system, the ranked list of translation possibilities in the first order based on the input, to yield a re-ranked list of translation possibilities in a second order; providing, by the system, the re-ranked list of translation possibilities to the equipment of the first user; and facilitating a transfer, by the system, of the re-ranked list of translation possibilities to the equipment of the second user for display, wherein the re-ranked list of translation possibilities is presented contemporaneously to both the equipment of the first user and the equipment of the second user.
