Abstract: A computer-implemented method for selective indexing of target content is disclosed. A web hosting system hosting the target content can collect user access data for the target content, which is presented in a first language; extract user locations from the user access data; detect, from the first user locations, an area associated with a second language that is different from the first language; and evaluate a trigger condition based at least in part on comparing a content metric, which measures user access to the target content from the area, to a content threshold. Responsive to detecting satisfaction of the trigger condition, the system can translate the target content from the first language to the second language; and index the target content presented in the second language so as to enable the target content to be searched using the second language.

Abstract: A supply chain tracking system utilizes tracking codes to track products through a supply chain. A tracking code is assigned to each product. If the product is grouped with other products at a stage in the supply chain, a tracking code is assigned to the group, and the tracking code for each of the products in the group is associated with the tracking code for the group. If the group of products is further aggregated with groups of other products, such as in a shipping container, a tracking code is assigned to the aggregated groups of products, and the tracking code for each of the groups of products is associated with the tracking code for the aggregated groups of products. The tracking codes are used to generate a supply chain graph which maps the travel of each product through the supply chain.

The generated source code file is then compiled and packaged into an APK and/or AAB file. The resulting application package is available for downloading, installation, and use on user devices with the instrumentation having been automatically added and without access to the original source code.
