Translational bot for group communication

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for providing real-time translation for group communications. A speech input may be received from a first group communication device associated with a first language. One or more groups to distribute the speech input may be determined, wherein each of the one or more groups comprises at least one group communication device associated with a language that is different than the first language. The received speech input may be translated into a corresponding language for each of the one or more groups, and the translated speech may be sent to each group communication device of the one or more groups in a language corresponding to each of the one or more groups.
