  • Patent number: 10049109
    Abstract: Techniques include outputting to a developer an offer to opt-in to a translation feature that enables human translators to translate their web page to a target language. In response to receiving a first request to opt-in to the translation feature, the server: generates and stores a web page copy, obtains from the human translators translations of at least a portion of the web page from its source language to the target language, modifies the web page copy based on the obtained translations to obtain a translated web page that is a translated version of the web page, detects a second request for the web page from a computing device associated with the target language, and in response to detecting the second request outputs, to the computing device, the translated web page with additional content relevant to the computing device or a user associated with the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20170201803
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include determining, by a computer system, that a user is interested in receiving reminders about particular content, identifying, by the computer system, a particular entity from a plurality of entities, the particular entity being associated with the particular content and including criteria for use in creating a reminder to the user about availability of the particular content, automatically creating the reminder for the user based on the criteria, and scheduling the reminder for activation on a computing device when the computing device is determined to be in proximity to a physical location that includes a device that provides the particular content to the user.

  • Patent number: 9396235
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining whether to provide a factual answer to a user's query. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a set of query patterns associated with a particular fact. A subset of natural language query patterns can be identified from the set of query patterns. A likelihood that a query corresponding to at least one of the query patterns from the set of query patterns is a fact-seeking query can be determined based at least in part on comparing a first query count associated with the subset of natural language query patterns with a second query count associated with the set of query patterns. The likelihood can be provided as a signal for ranking search results.
