A method and apparatus provides for interpreting a foreign word or phrase using a contextual likelihood model and a dictionary. An apparatus may translate foreign language text by taking context into account and displaying the translation with alternatives on an adaptive user interface display. The contextual likelihood model may be interlaced with a dictionary. In an embodiment, the interaction between the contextual likelihood model and a dictionary may result in an adaptive adjustment of the meanings or the order of meanings displayed. The order of meanings displayed may be representative of the calculated likelihoods.
