System and method for website tranlsations

An Internet based translation service provider system for automatically providing translations of text on an administrator's website by an Internet service provider comprising:

• a. a system server, comprising:
• i. a database comprising administrators' records comprising translations of an administrator's website character strings from an original language to one or more supported languages;
• ii. a database comprising a plurality of human translators' records comprising the identity of each translator's native language, wherein (i) and (ii) may be co-located;
• iii. one or more processors;
• iv. a non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising instructions for processor(s), wherein said processors are configured to execute said instructions to perform operations comprising;
• maintaining a system website for a website administrator to electronically communicate with the processor(s);
• receiving a request from a website administrator via the system website to translate webpage strings from an original language to one or more supported languages;
• ordering the translation of the strings via human translation or machine translation in accordance with the administrator's request;
• storing the translated strings in the administrator's database record, wherein said strings are instantly retrieved and displayed when a user of the administrator's website selects a translation in one of the supported languages;
• automatically displaying the administrator's website in the user's selected supported language when the user subsequently visits the website;
• automatically identifying any new un-translated strings on the administrator's website in the original language;
• electronically transmitting the un-translated strings to an Internet service provider's processor for translation to the user's selected supported language;
• and,
• receiving and displaying the translated strings on the administrator's website;
• b. one of more user electronic computing devices for communicating with the system server to retrieve translated strings in one of the supported languages;
• c. one or more administrator electronic computing devices for requesting and receiving translation of strings from the system server via the system website;
• and,
• d. one or more human translator electronic computing devices for performing translations of the strings;
• e. one or more machine translation modules for performing automated translation of the strings;
• and,
• f. an Internet network for transmitting electronic communications between the electronic computing devices, the machine translation engine, and the server system.

A website translation module accessible on a website administrator's electronic computing device comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions, the instructions being operable to enable the administrator's device to perform a procedure translating administrator's website strings from an original language to one or more supported languages, comprising:

• a. comparing character strings on an administrator's website with strings stored within an administrator's record on a remote system database, wherein the module identifies and transmits any non-translated strings to a remote system server via the Internet for translation to a supported language(s);
• b. retrieving translated strings from a website administrator's record on the system database, and storing the strings in a user's electronic computing device memory, wherein the user has requested to view the administrator's website in the supported language;
• c. displaying automatically the translated strings when
• i. the user selects the supported language on the administrator's website;
• and/or,
• ii. the user re-visits the administrator's website.
