1. A system, comprising:

  • a recognition system configured to recognize text in an image, the text of a first language written in a first direction;

    a translator configured to translate the text of the first language into text of a second language;

    an overlay algorithm configured to determine orientation and alignment between the text of the first language and the text of the second language, and overlays the text of the second language on the text of the first language as viewed in a display, such that each translated word corresponds to respective original text words;

    wherein the recognition system, the translator, and the overlay algorithm are configured to overlay the text of the second language on top of the text of the first language in realtime for viewing with graphical emphasis applied to differentiate the overlaid languages to the viewer; and

    a microprocessor configured to execute computer-executable instructions in a memory, the instructions executed to enable the recognition system, the translator, and the overlay algorithm.
