Abstract
Methods and systems for converting an input content item into an output content item to enhance comprehension of the message by an interlocutor, based on contexts. For example, the conversion may occur in any message service: when an interlocutor writes a message in English (or any other language), he or she might include a regional dialect (purposively or not), such as a piece of slang, that the other interlocutors may not understand, although they all generally write and understand English. In such circumstances, the regional dialect is identified and replaced with either a more globalized word or with another linguistic regionalism that is understandable for the intended interlocutor.

A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first computing device, a first content item;
- determining a first location associated with the first computing device;
- identifying, in the first content item, one or more syntagms;
- identifying that a syntagm of the one or more syntagms is being used in a context relevant to the determined first location;
- retrieving, from a database, a synonym for the identified syntagm, wherein the synonym has a context associated with a second location;
- and
- generating, for output, a second content item, wherein the identified syntagm is replaced with the identified synonym.
A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive, from a first computing device, a first content item;
- processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a first location associated with the first computing device;
- identify, in the first content item, one or more syntagms;
- identify that a syntagm of the one or more syntagms is being used in a context relevant to the determined first location;
- retrieve, from a database, a synonym for the identified syntagm, wherein the synonym has a context associated with a second location;
