ABSTRACT:
A method and system for presenting a document to a user. The method comprises the steps of providing a plurality of documents having one or more language translations; specifying a preferred order of languages for the user; and when the user requests a search term, searching the plurality of documents for those that contain the search term. The method comprises the further steps of matching the language translations of the documents containing the search term with the preferred order of languages for the user; and delivering, for each of the documents containing the search term, a best match language translation to the user. With the preferred embodiment of the invention, the following functionalities are enabled: (1) Present to the user his preferred translation or a default translation if the preferred has not yet been made available to the system; (2) Present to the user the “best available” translation, given an order of preference, or a default translation if none of the “better” translations are available; and (3) Present to the user the “best available” translation using a user's specified preference, or, if none of those translations are available, the “best available” according to a system level specified preference.
