Method and system for automatically translating process instructions

A computer implemented system for automatically translating, in real time, process instructions within a manufacturing execution system (MES), the computer implemented system comprising:

• a processing unit, a memory and a user interface configured for carrying out a method for automatically translating, in real time, process instructions within the manufacturing execution system (MES), the method comprising the following steps:
• receiving a process instruction in a first language different from a second language that is an operating language of the MES, the first language being a language spoken by humans, wherein the process instruction in the first language is a part of a workflow that has been validated in the first language;
• extracting in real time, by a processing unit using an extraction algorithm, a text from the process instruction to generate an extracted text;
• searching a database in real time to find a translation of the extracted text into the second language, the database containing a translation into the second language for all texts of all process instructions of the MES expressed in the first language;
• creating in real time a process instruction in the second language from the extracted text, wherein the process instruction in the second language is part of a workflow that is not validated in the second language;
• and
• displaying in real time the process instruction in the second language.
