Abstract:

A client computer program designed to run in operating systems with various primary character sets is provided. The client computer program further allows the user to choose a preferred destination for translated documents. For example, the translation can be appended to the original document, written into a new document, sent to the clipboard, or turned out to any other supported destination according to the specifications of the user. In addition, the client computer program provides a translation job queue window that lists documents awaiting analysis and transmission for translation. Through the translation job queue window, the user can dynamically add to and delete from the translation job queue, as well as suspend or reorder jobs, and open completed files directly from the list. Furthermore, the user can choose to display either the requested translation alone or the requested translation together with the untranslated email message in the same window. Finally, the client computer program interacts with an email program so that the user can initiate translation directly from the email program's user interface.
