  • Patent number: 7979794
    Abstract: A mixed translation of content is created in one document based on a new use of the lang’ attribute on standard HTML tags. The HTML 4.0 specification defines the ‘lang’ attribute as being used for an element's attribute value and content. Browsers use this information to assist in proper rendering of content associated with treatment of ligatures, hyphenations and quotations. Search engines and other applications may use this field for spell checking or creating indices. The implication of this common usage is that the content is in the language indicated by the ‘lang’ attribute and language specific rules for its rendering apply.

  • Patent number: 7107530
    Abstract: A method, system and program product for displaying a tooltip based on content within the tooltip is provided. Under the present invention, a feature (e.g., size, type, complexity, etc.) of the content within a tooltip is first determined. Based on the feature, a display time for the tooltip is calculated. The tooltip is then displayed for the duration of the calculated display time, after which time the tooltip is closed.

  • Publication number: 20040230898
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying the topic or subject area of content within a structured document, thereby facilitating a machine translation of the content within an appropriate context. Several alternative syntax approaches are described, using new tags, new attributes on existing tags, and existing tags and attributes having new values. Programmatically informing a translation engine of the subject area of content to be translated (i.e., by embedding this information in the content, as disclosed herein) allows many terms to be disambiguated. As a result, the translation engine can translate content more accurately and more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 6415249
    Abstract: The Content-Language field in the entity-header of an HTTP response is used as the final factor in driving machine translation of text. The HTTP 1.1 specification defines the purpose of the value in this field to identify and differentiate entities according to a user's own preferred language. Its implication is that the content body is in the language defined via the Content-Language field. If the body content is only appropriate to a German-literate audience then typical use of this information would be to execute some processing to avoid rendering to someone other than that target. This information is used in rendering decisions. Herein, this value is a determining factor in the machine translation (MT) decision as well. It is still used in the rendering decision, but if the content is not currently in the desired language, it will be translated to it. Prior to the response being served, appropriate MT would be initiated based on this value.
