Abstract
Disclosed are implementations of methods and systems for displaying definitions and translations of words by searching for a translation simultaneously in various languages according to a query in a general language dictionary. The invention removes the need to specify a source language for the word or word combination when translated into a target language. The target language may be preset. Translation is possible for word combinations in multiple sources languages. Source words may be entered manually or captured by an imaging component of an electronic device. When captured, a word combination is selected, and subjected to optical character recognition (OCR) and translation. Source language and OCR language may be suggested via geolocation of the electronic device.
