Abstract
A method of presenting translated content items is disclosed. It is detected that a content item has been captured by a device of a user. It is identified that the content item is a candidate content item for translation. The candidate content item is translated; and the translated candidate content item is presented via a user interface of a wearable display of the device.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- detecting that a content item has been captured by a device of a user;
- identifying that the content item is a candidate content item for translation based on an analysis of a profile of the user maintained by the user with respect to a social-networking system, wherein analysis of the profile of the user includes a determination that the user is not proficient in a language of the content item based on information discovered about other users to which the user is connected;
- translating the candidate content item;
- and
- presenting the translated candidate content item via a user interface of a wearable display of the device, the presenting of the translated content item including presenting a visual cue on the user interface that allows the user to identify a direction of a content source from which the content item was derived relative to an orientation of the device, the presenting of the visual cue based on a determination that the content item is at least partially outside the focus of the device, the presenting of the translated content item being performed by a processor.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors and a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to, at least:
- detect that a content item has been captured by a device of a user based on an analysis of a profile of the user maintained by the user with respect to a social-networking system, wherein the analysis of the profile of the user that the user includes a determination that the user is not proficient in a language of the content item based on information discovered about other users to which the user is connected;
- identify that the content item is a candidate content item for translation;
- translate the candidate content item;
- and
- present the translated candidate content item via a user interface of a wearable display of the device, the presenting of the translated content item including presenting a visual cue on the user interface that allows the user to identify a direction of a content source from which the content item was derived relative to an orientation of the device, the presenting of the visual cue based on a determination that the content item is at least partially outside the focus of the device.
3 more elements
A non-transitory machine readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting that a content item has been captured by a device of a user;
- identifying that the content item is a candidate content item for translation based on an analysis of a profile of the user maintained by the user with respect to a social-networking system, wherein the analysis of the profile of the user that the user includes a determination that the user is not proficient in a language of the content item based on information discovered about other users to which the user is connected;
- translating the candidate content item;
- and
- presenting the translated candidate content item via a user interface of a wearable display of the device, the presenting of the translated content item including presenting a visual cue on the user interface that allows the user to identify a direction of a content source from which the content item was derived relative to an orientation of the device, the presenting of the visual cue based on a determination that the content item is at least partially outside the focus of the device.
