DYNAMIC TRANSLATION OF IDIOMS

Dynamic translation of idioms is performed with respect to electronic communications. An idiom search application is activated which identifies an idiom within a phrase and searches a corpus for a translation of the idiom and one or more associated characteristics. In response to detection of the translation in the corpus, profile metadata related to the observed communication is collected and compared to the one or more characteristics. The idiom and the collected profile metadata are stored in a corpus that supports a search of the idiom. In response to absence of the translation in the corpus, the idiom is dynamically translated. The translated idiom is presented proximal to the evaluated expression.
