  • Publication number: 20250111153
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for translating an input text element into a sequence of characters comprising a set of graphical symbols. The method comprises the steps of: selecting (12) one or more words out of the input text element as pre-processed or unprocessed to be translated to obtain a word selection; marking (12) the word selection; translating (13) the word selection identified by the marking into at least a set of graphical symbols by using an artificial intelligence language model considering the context of the word selection in the pre-processed text element to dynamically translate the word selection based on the context to obtain a translated word selection, wherein a given word in the word selection is translated into a sequence of at least two graphical symbols; and displaying (15) the input text element as translated to a user, wherein the input text element as translated comprises the translated word selection.
