1. An electronic apparatus configured to translate words into a target language, the electronic apparatus comprising: an electronic display; an electronic processor; and instructions to cause the electronic apparatus to: acquire an image of text; detect a selection of a word or word combination in the image to be translated; perform optical character recognition (OCR) on the selected word or word combination using a character alphabet of a plurality of languages; generate a set of recognition variants for each word of the selected word or word combination; transmit each set of recognition variants to a set of language specific processors; eliminate language inappropriate variants from the set of recognition variants for each language, wherein the language inappropriate variants are the recognition variants which do not contain characters or symbols of the language; match each of remaining variants to a source language, wherein the remaining variants are the recognition variants minus the language inappropriate variants; confirm that at least one of the remaining variants is in at least one language specific word list; translate a confirmed word variant using a translation dictionary; and provide a translation of the confirmed word variant.
