Techniques are disclosed for translating messages into multiple languages among a group of wireless portable electronic communication devices communicable with one another via a remote cloud-based communications platform server (CPS). The CPS receives a first voice message from a sending portable communication device (PCD) and determines a language setting for the sending PCD. The CPS may then convert the first voice message to a first text message in the language of the sending PCD. The CPS may then determine a logical channel associated with the first voice message and any other PCDs associated with the logical channel set to receive the message sent by the sending PCD. For each other PCD associated with the logical channel, the CPS may then (i) determine a language setting for the other PCD, (ii) translate the first text message to a second text message in the language to which the other PCD is set, (iii) convert the second text message to a second voice message in the language to which the other PCD is set, and (iv) send the second voice message to the other PCD.

Techniques for translating messages into multiple languages among a group of portable electronic devices

Techniques are disclosed for translating messages into multiple languages among a group of wireless portable electronic communication devices communicable with one another via a remote cloud-based communications platform server (CPS). The CPS receives a first message from a sending portable communication device (PCD), the first message being one of a voice message or a text message. The CPS then determines a language setting for the sending PCD. When the first message is a voice message, the CPS converts it to a first text message in the language of the sending PCD. The CPS also determines a logical channel associated with the first message and any other PCDs associated with the logical channel as well as the language settings for the other PCDs. For each other PCD associated with the logical channel, the CPS translates the first text message to a second text message in the languages of the other PCDs. The CPS also determines, from a user profile, a current format setting for received messages. When the current format setting for received messages is voice, the CPS converts the second text message to a second voice message in the language of the other PCD and sends the second voice message to the other PCD. When the current format setting for received messages is text, the CPS sends the translated second text message to the other PCD.
