Systems and methods for data loss prevention in bilingual text messages with a data loss policy which recognizes only one primary language

A system for data loss prevention, the system comprising:

• an identification module programmed to identify a network configured with a data loss prevention system comprising at least one data loss prevention policy directed to textual data expressed in a primary natural language;
• an interception module programmed to identify a textual object subject to a data loss prevention assessment within the network;
• a determination module programmed to determine that the textual object comprises a textual component that is not expressed in the primary natural language;
• a translation module programmed to, in response to determining that the textual object comprises the textual component, translate the textual component from a secondary natural language that the data loss prevention policy does not recognize into the primary natural language that the data loss prevention policy does recognize;
• an application module programmed to, after translating the textual component into the primary natural language, apply the data loss prevention policy to a modified textual object comprising the translated textual component;
• at least one processor configured to execute the identification module, the interception module, the determination module, the translation module, and the application module.

A non-transitory computer-readable-storage medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• identify a network configured with a data loss prevention system comprising at least one data loss prevention policy directed to textual data expressed in a primary natural language;
• identify a textual object subject to a data loss prevention assessment within the network;
• determine that the textual object comprises a textual component that is not expressed in the primary natural language;
• in response to determining that the textual object comprises the textual component, translate the textual component from a secondary natural language that the data loss prevention policy does not recognize into the primary natural language that the data loss prevention policy does recognize;
• after translating the textual component into the primary natural language, apply the data loss prevention policy to a modified textual object comprising the translated textual component.
