4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: creating a packaged digital graphic novel including the digital graphic novel content and presentation metadata, the presentation metadata including the translated text and an indication of the at least one feature of the features of the digital graphic novel to which the translated text corresponds; and providing, by the at least one processor, the packaged digital graphic novel to a reader device that is configured to present the digital graphic novel content in a manner in accordance with the presentation metadata.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by at least one processor, digital graphic novel content; producing, by at least one processor, a numerical map that represents an image extracted from the digital graphic novel content; responsive to inputting the numerical map into a first artificial neural network of a machine learning model configured to determine regions of the digital graphic novel content that are likely to include speech bubbles, receiving, by the at least one processor, from the first artificial neural network, a plurality of candidate regions of the digital graphic novel content that are likely to include speech bubbles; and responsive to inputting the plurality of candidate regions into a second artificial neural network of the machine learning model, receiving, by at least one processor, from the second artificial neural network, features of the digital graphic novel content that include a plurality of speech bubbles containing text; generating, by at least one processor, based on the features of the digital graphic novel content, contextual information corresponding to the features, the contextual information including the text of the plurality of speech bubbles in an intended reading order of the plurality of speech bubbles; and automatically translating, by at least one processor, based at least in part on the contextual information, from a first natural language to a second natural language, the text contained in the plurality of speech bubbles to produce translated text.
