Khoury is credited with 1 patent: “Display of Text in a Multi-Lingual Environment.” The invention describes methods and systems that use the language context of entered text and user-interface settings to determine suitable reading order and alignment. When a text selection contains portions that follow different reading directions, the system can identify and render those portions accordingly, including left-to-right and right-to-left text. If the reading order cannot be determined from the text itself, the system uses the order associated with the interface’s spoken language. Text alignment follows a user’s selection when available, or the alignment associated with that language otherwise.
