A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes identifying a plurality of user devices determined to run a predetermined software version and a predetermined application. A first of the identified user devices is assigned to be a primary user device, and a second of the identified user devices is assigned to be a first backup user device. In response to a determination that the first identified user device launches the predetermined application, the second identified user device is caused to launch the predetermined application. In response to a determination that the first identified user device experiences a predetermined interruption event while using the predetermined application, the second identified user device is assigned to be the primary user device and the first identified user device is assigned to be the first backup user device.

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system allow a secondary language to be learned through content translation in an engaged linguistical consumption format. The method includes determining an educational corpus for the secondary language that indicates learned words in the secondary language. The method includes determining a select portion of subtitles being shown during a play back of a multimedia file shown in a native language where the select portions include a native word corresponding to the learned words. The method includes generating a modification to the select portion such that the learned words replace the native word in the subtitles. A display of the play back of the multimedia file including the subtitles is updated with a visual graphic corresponding to the modification to replace the native word.
