Abstract
A socially-cognizant translation system that takes social state between speaker and listener into account when making the translation. The translation may be more formal or less formal based on the social relationship between speaker and listener. Profanities in the source speech may be detected, and used to determine the social cognizance. Also, the source speech can be translated without the profanity in the target language, instead using the meaning of the profanity.
