Abstract
A computer retrieves profile information of a participant of a multi-party communication. The computer identifies an original jargon included in the multi-party communication based, at least in part, on the profile information. The computer generates a translated jargon by translating the original translated jargon, wherein the translated jargon can be understood by the participant of the multi-party communication. The computer sends the translated jargon to the participant of the multi-party communication.
Claims20
A method for identifying and translating jargon, the method comprising:
- retrieving, by a computer, a profile information of a first participant of a multi-party communication, wherein the profile information of the first participant i) includes demographic information related to the first participant, and ii) indicates a location of the first participant;
- identifying, by the computer, an original jargon submitted by a second participant included in the multi-party communication based, at least in part, on the profile information of the first participant;
- predicting, by the computer, whether the first participant will understand the original jargon based, at least in part, on the demographic information related to the first participant and the location of the first participant;
- responsive to a prediction that the first participant will not understand the original jargon, generating, by the computer, a translated jargon by translating the original jargon based, at least in part, on the profile information of the first participant, wherein the translated jargon can be understood by the first participant of the multi-party communication;
- and
- sending, by the computer, the translated jargon to the first participant of the multi-party communication.
A computer program product for identifying and translating jargon, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to retrieve a profile information of a first participant of a multi-party communication, wherein the profile information of the first participant i) includes demographic information related to the first participant, and ii) indicates a location of the first participant;
- program instructions to identify an original jargon submitted by a second participant included in the multi-party communication based, at least in part, on the profile information of the first participant;
- program instructions to predict whether the first participant will understand the original jargon based, at least in part, on the demographic information related to the first participant and the location of the first participant;
- program instructions to respond to a prediction that the first participant will not understand the original jargon by generating a translated jargon by translating the original jargon based, at least in part, on the profile information of the first participant, wherein the translated jargon can be understood by the first participant of the multi-party communication;
- and
- program instructions to send the translated jargon to the first participant of the multi-party communication.
A computer system for identifying and translating jargon, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage medium;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to retrieve a profile information of a first participant of a multi-party communication, wherein the profile information of the first participant i) includes demographic information related to the first participant, and ii) indicates a location of the first participant;
- program instructions to identify an original jargon submitted by a second participant included in the multi-party communication based, at least in part, on the profile information of the first participant;
- program instructions to predict whether the first participant will understand the original jargon based, at least in part, on the demographic information related to the first participant and the location of the first participant;
- program instructions to respond to a prediction that the first participant will not understand the original jargon by generating a translated jargon by translating the original jargon based, at least in part, on the profile information of the first participant, wherein the translated jargon can be understood by the first participant of the multi-party communication;
- and
- program instructions to send the translated jargon to the first participant of the multi-party communication.
