[0047] The system 100 may enable simultaneously translating a multiplicity of content and languages arriving from a multiplicity of users 10, using a multiplicity of languages and simultaneously presenting of the translated content to all participating users 10 of the chat. [0048] The system may further comprise or enable communication with at least one dictionaries database 200 enabling to store a multiplicity of lingual dictionaries where each dictionary may be associated with at least one contextual field (e.g. "architecture" , "software" etc.) and at least one language, where each word or combination of words is associated with its corresponding translation in at least some of the dictionaries; and where the contextual field enables translating the received content according to the context of the field.

[0049] The translation module 123 may use the dictionaries database 200 to execute the translation according to predefined rules and the user's 10 selections. [0050] According to some embodiments of the invention, the server 110 may be a web server with an Active Server Page (ASP) technology enabling to create dynamic and interactive users' 10 chat sessions and for the web pages to interact with other software programs and data sources.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the invention, the system 100 may maintain a website enabling users 10 to interact through their terminals 20 portals by registering to the website and receiving of security means through which they can enter personal accounts (e.g. by inputting a password and a user name strings). At least one subscribers database 300 may enable storing the users' 10 identification parameters (e.g. names and their associated user names and passwords) as well as all the users' 10 accounts related data such as, for example, URL or Email addresses of other users 10 that may and may not be subscribed in the system 100 with which the user 10 charted in the past and the like.

[0052] According to embodiments, the system 100 may not include the chat module 121 but enable embedding or being added to existing chat software and websites as an additional tool enabling to automatically retrieve the content of the chat and translating it to the users 10 who are chatting..

[0053] Fig. 2 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a process enabling executing a chat with online translation services, according to some embodiments of the invention. The process may comprise the steps of:

[0054] entering the website 21, where the user 10 may enter the website's URL address to enter the website's main page 400, for example;

[0055] login to the client account 22, where subscribed users 10 may enter or initiate a chat through their personal account, where the chat supporting application 120 may enable the user 10 to connect to his/her account through the security means;

[0056] contacting participants 23 where the chat supporting application 120 may enable the user 10 to achieve communication with other users 10 participating in the chat;

[0057] if translation services are required 24 - the user 10 may use the chat supporting application 's 120 interface 121 to input translation parameters 25 that may be required for executing the translation module 123;

[0058] initiating the chat 26, where the chat may be executed through the chat module

122 while the content of the chat may be online translated 27 according to the input translation parameters and using the translation module 123 of the chat supporting application 120;

[0059] this procedure (steps 23-28) may be iterated for each new participant 28 joining the chat.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the invention, the content of the chat may be translated from each user (a) 10 to each other user (b) 10 and vise versa where each user (a) 10 may be able to select the translation language to which the received content (coming from the other user (b) 10) may be translated as well the language(s) to which the transmitted content (transmitted from the original user (a) 10 terminal 20) may be translated. For example, user (a) 10 speaks and writes in Hebrew selecting the received content to be translated into Hebrew where user (b) 10 speaks and writes Japanese selecting his received content to be translated to Japanese and to English, since another participant of the chat (using either the same or a different terminal 20 than that of the user (b) 10) is an English speaker.

[0061] Additionally, according to embodiments of the invention, the translation may also be corresponding to the user's 10 selected contextual field additionally to corresponding to the selected language. For example, the user 10 may select Japanese as his selected language for the received content, and the field of "agriculture" as the contextual field allowing the chat supporting application 120 to search the dictionaries database 200 accordingly. The word "green+house" for example may be translated according to another dictionary to the corresponding Japanese or any other language's word(s) meaning the color of "green" and a "house" where under the context of agriculture, the combination "green+house" (aurally pronounced by the other participant or textually written in a Blog, for example) may be translated to a structure enabling to control humidity and temperature for growing of plants. [0062] Fig. 3 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a process of setting translation definitions for web chats, according to some embodiments of the invention. According to these embodiments, the process may comprise the steps of: [0063] selecting the translation field 31 (meaning the contextual field according to which the translation may be carried out); [0064] selecting the translation type(s) 32 (defining the process according to which the translation may be carried out: meaning translating textual content, an aurally inputted content or both);

[0065] selecting one or more languages to which the received content may be translated 33;

[0066] selecting one or more languages to which the transmitted content may be translated 34;

[0067] translating the received content according to the selected language and according to the selected field 35, where the chat supporting application 120 may enable searching the dictionaries database 200 according to the field and language(s);

[0068] presenting the translated received content according to predefined presentation settings 36;

[0069] translating the transmitted content into the selected language(s) 37; where the translation module 123 may enable translating the transmitted content according to the selected field and language(s); and

[0070] presenting the translated transmitted content according to predefined presentation settings 38.

[0071] According to embodiments, the translation module 123 may additionally or alternatively enable translating the received and/or the transmitted content into sign language, where, for example, a virtual figure presents the translated content visually into sign language for deaf participant(s).

For example, if the chat is translated textually, the transmitted translation-text may be encoded according to a predefined algorithm operated by pre-installed software before finally transmitted to the other subscriber where the same software comprises the reversing algorithm enabling to translate received encoded content back to comprehensible text according to the selected translation language and the selected contextual field. [0089] According to some embodiments of the invention, an encoding-software may be available for users 10 to

[0090] According to embodiments, the system 100 may further enables users participating in a chat, to view content of other participants of the chats as translated and presented to other users and enabling the users to correct the translation presented to the other users.

[0091] According to embodiments, the presentation of the translated content may be textual, where the presentation modulel24 may further enable presenting the translated text according to the linguistic and grammatical rules of the language presented (e.g. the direction of writing (left to right or right to left etc.), fonts, characters, punctuation, etc.) and adjust the fonts, character size etc. of the translated content according to the dimensions and limitations of the chat box (e.g. a limitation on exceeding the boundaries of a predefined space in the chat box that is dedicated for presenting the picture/video of the participating user 10,).

[0092] According to embodiments, each dictionaries database 200 may enable translating one language into a predefined main language (such as English or French), where to translate the content received in a first language into a second language, the translation module may first translate the received content in the first language into the main language and then translate the content in the main language into the second language. For example, to translate content entered in Japanese into Spanish, the Japanese content may be translated into English (as the predefined main language) and from English to Spanish.
