Abstract:
1. A system for automatic natural language translation of embedded text regions in images during information transfer, the system comprising: a computing platform having hardware for performing a logical process; a clipboard buffer portion of the computing platform configured to receive a copy of one or more user-selected image elements from within a source computer file responsive to user operation of a cut-and-paste command; an isolator and interceptor portion of the computing platform configured to: a recognizer portion of the computing platform configured to recognize text from within the one or more image elements in the isolation store; a source language identifier portion of the computing platform configured to determine a natural language in which the recognized text is expressed; a preference comparitor portion of a computing platform configured to determine if the natural language of the recognized text matches a user-specified destination natural language; a translator portion of a computing platform configured to perform natural language translation of the recognized text into the user-specified destination natural language; a text image renderer portion of a computing platform configured to produce image data for translated text; an image modifier portion of the computing platform configured to overlay text within the one or more image elements stored in the isolation store with the image data; and a copier portion of the computing platform configured to complete pasting of the one or more image elements from the isolation store to one or more user-designated destination points within the destination computer file.
