Automatic invocation of a dialog user interface for translation applications

A computer-readable medium for storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a translation query,
• the translation query requesting a translation of one or more terms from a source language to a target language,
• determine one or more translation features associated with the translation query,
• assign a feature value to each of the one or more translation features to form one or more feature values,
• apply a feature weight to each of the one or more feature values, in a linear or non-linear manner, to generate a final value,
• determine whether to provide a dialog translation user interface or a non-dialog translation user interface based on whether the final value satisfies a threshold,
• the dialog translation user interface facilitating translation of a conversation,
• the non-dialog translation user interface providing one or more translation search results, and
• the non-dialog translation user interface being different than the dialog translation user interface,
• provide the dialog translation user interface for display when the final value satisfies the threshold, and
• provide the non-dialog translation user interface for display when the final value does not satisfy the threshold.
