Built-in translation on Web Messenger

Abstract

The paper aims at providing the users with a web messenger application that translates messages sent by sender to the receiver. The translation is provided by Google Translate API. This helps in having a seamless conversation experience. Any language that is supported by Google Translate can be sent and received by the users. It is planned to provide transfer of graphic files as well as other file types. Interestingly, this method of communication is the most popular form. Encryption and Decryption is provided by employing AES Algorithm function set. The encryption and decryption make it safe for communication by protecting the conversation from outside threats. In order to have a conversation between two people normally in their own preferred language, they have to rely on using Google Translate solely by copying the message text and finding the translation. This web application we have proposed combats that problem by providing simultaneous translation of text messages to the user’s preferred language. Languages that can be translated are the same as what Google Translate provides. ISO 639-1 language codes are used as language code by the sending entity to send the data to the receiving entity. Accuracy have been identified as same as what Google Translate provides, above 60%.
