Abstract: An entropy decoding apparatus includes an entropy decoding circuit, a pre-fetch circuit, and a context pre-load buffer. The pre-fetch circuit pre-fetches at least one candidate context for entropy decoding of a part of an encoded bitstream of a frame before the entropy decoding circuit starts entropy decoding of the part of the encoded bitstream of the frame. The context pre-load buffer buffers the at least one candidate context. When a target context actually needed by entropy decoding of the part of the encoded bitstream of the frame is not available in the context pre-load buffer, the context pre-load buffer instructs the pre-fetch circuit to re-fetch the target context, and the entropy decoding circuit stalls entropy decoding of the part of the encoded bitstream of the frame.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for parsing a user interface (UI) product to obtain a UI element provided therein, the UI product prepared in a first language. A UI element is replaced with a converted UI element, in which the converted UI element approximates a translation of the UI element into a second language different from the first language. After replacement of the UI element, a detection is made as to whether a UI issue exists. When a UI issue is detected, the converted UI element is modified so that translation of the UI product into the second language does not include the detected UI issue. The UI element is provided in a language different from the first language via the UI product based on the converted UI element.
