13. A method for interpreting from a first language to a second language, comprising the steps of: receiving an input speech utterance in a first language on a first mobile communication device; conditioning said input speech utterance; first transmitting said conditioned input speech utterance to a server; recognizing said first transmitted speech utterance to generate by said server a set of first recognition results; optimizing the one or more recognition results by rescoring word-recognition lattice results based on corresponding interpretation lattice results to generate a set of second recognition results; interpreting said set of second recognition results by generating by said server one or more interpretation results comprising abstract paraphrased specific concepts; translating said abstract paraphrased specific concepts into a form of a language-independent abstract interlingua; mapping the abstract paraphrased specific concepts from the language-independent interlingua to a second language in a first selected format; second transmitting said interpretation results in the first selected format to a second mobile communication device; and presenting said interpretation results in a second selected format on said second communication device.

The method of claim 13 wherein in said interpreting step, said recognition results is interpreted to generate one or more interpretation results in said second language, thereby bypassing said mapping step.
