Abstract

In some examples, an electronic device may present a portion of a content item in a first language contemporaneously with a corresponding portion in a second language. Thus, a user may view the portion of content in the first language and the same portion of content in the second language. Further, the electronic device may dynamically adjust an area allotted to displaying each language version, such as in the case that a portion of content in one language takes up more space than a matching portion of content in the other language. In some examples, metadata for multiple language versions of a content item may include mapping information for correlating a portion of the first language version of the content item with a matching or corresponding portion of the second language version of the content item based, at least in part, on location information.
