Abstract
A computer-implemented method that may be carried out by a reader device or other computing device includes identifying boundaries of words and sentences of displayed content and receiving a language selection of a language for translating a selected unit of text in the displayed content; translating the unit of text to the selected language; retrieving from a picture dictionary, a pictogram associated with a tag applied to the word or at least one word from the sentence of the selected unit of text; generating pronunciation files for both an original language of the unit of text and the selected language; and displaying, in context with the displayed content, the unit of text in the original language and the selected language, the pictogram, and icons for requesting to play the pronunciation files. The selected unit of text can be a word or a sentence.
