International ClassG06F 015/38AbstractA machine translation system includes an automatic routing system for automatically translating input text of a source language and sending output text of a selected target language to an addressee, in response to designations of the addressee, the target language, and/or the selected sublanguage scanned from a cover page for the input text. The system can interface with a number of input sources, such as a fax machine combined with a page scanner, a fax/modem board, or a network interface coupled to a server computer system. The server computer system can control the operation of the machine translation module for multiple target languages and/or sublanguages as designated by the cover page. A page formatting module is used to compose the translated text into a desired page format, and to provide footnotes for alternate translations of ambiguous phrases of the input text. The cover page can also designate a plurality of addressees in different target languages. The output end of the system may be a fax/modem board for sending output text to an addressee's fax number, a network interface, or a page printer for printed copy. The machine translation module(s) of the system may be upgraded or replaced without disruption to the overall telecommunications routing functions of the system.Other References
