Electronic message translations accompanied by indications of translation

A system for translating text messages sent from a first party to a second different party, comprising:

• a translation engine for translating text messages sent from a first party and received by a second different party into a preferred language of the second different party, the preferred language being determined from a preferred language of an operating system on a computing device of the second different party, wherein a text message is addressed to the second different party as an intended recipient of the text message;
• a first processing device coupled to the translation engine, the first processing device configured to send and receive the text messages and configured to determine whether text messages received in a source language are in a preferred language selected by the second different party of the text messages,
• wherein the text messages received by the first processing device that are in a source language which is not the preferred language selected by the second different party are translated;
• and
• a providing component configured to provide an option to the second different party to translate at least one of the text messages from the preferred destination language into a different language, the different language being different than the source language and the preferred destination language;
• further comprising:
• including an indication that the received message has been translated:
• wherein the indication is one of a label, a symbol, a color of text, and a background of the message.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for translating electronic messages sent from a first party to a second different party, the computer program, when executed by a computer processor, performing:

• receiving an electronic message from the first party in a source language;
• determining whether the source language of the electronic message that has been received is similar to a preferred destination language;
• translating the electronic message that has been received into the preferred destination language when the source language is not similar to the preferred destination language, wherein translating includes determining the preferred destination language, wherein determining the preferred destination language includes determining a preferred operating system language of a computing device of the second different party;
• providing an option to the second different party to translate the electronic message that has been received from the preferred destination language into a different language, the different language being different than the source language and the preferred destination language, and
• sending at the destination location a reply electronic message in the preferred destination language to the first party;
• wherein the electronic message from the first party received at the destination location is translated;
• further comprising:
• including an indication that the received message has been translated;
• wherein the indication is one of a label, a symbol, a color of text, and a background of the message.
