Dynamically adjusting text strings based on machine translation feedback

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include accessing a string of text that includes characters written in a first language. The method may next include translating the text string into different languages using machine translation. The method may next include identifying, among the translated text strings, a shortest string and a longest string. The method may also include calculating a customized string length adjustment ratio for adjusting the length of the accessed text string based on the shortest translated string length and the longest translated string length. Furthermore, the method may include dynamically applying the calculated customized string length adjustment ratio to the accessed text string, so that the length of the accessed text string may be dynamically adjusted according to the customized string length adjustment ratio. The method may also include presenting the adjusted text string in the user interface. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
