The idea of using an interlingua in a translation system, if this is
really what this patent is about, was described in a crisp fashion by
Warren Weaver in a memorandum that he wrote in 1949:

Weaver W. (1949): Translation. Reprinted in W.N. Locke and
A.D. Booth (eds) Machine Translation of Languages, MIT Press,
Cambridge, 1955.
