1. A method for preparing a multi-lingual personal identification card, comprising: receiving, by a computer processor, a multi-lingual text comprising Latin-based characters in a Latin-based language and non-Latin-based characters in a non-Latin-based language, wherein the multi-lingual text comprises a name of a holder of the personal identification card in the Latin-based language and the non-Latin-based language; converting, by the computer processor, the non-Latin-based characters in the multi-lingual text to index values to produce a pseudo text, wherein each of the non-Latin-based characters has a Unicode value two byte in length, wherein the index values are a single byte in length, wherein the conversion is based on a predefined mapping that converts the Unicode values of the non-Latin-based characters to index values having fewer digits than the corresponding Unicode values of the non-Latin-based characters, wherein the predefined mapping allocates at least 55 consecutive digital numbers for the index values, wherein the pseudo text includes the index values in co-existence with the Latin-based characters in a Latin-based language; receiving vector data for a personal image which includes a facial image, a finger print, or a combination of both of the holder of the personal identification card; and encoding the pseudo text and the vector data in a matrix-code symbol.
