ABSTRACT:
A method and system for conducting a web search. The method comprises the steps of receiving a language selection and a web page selection from a user; and translating said web page into said language, including translating a pull-down list of searchable fields, and for each said field, translating items on one or more selection lists, wherein a code is associated with each item. The method comprises the further steps of providing said translated web page to said user, including providing script enabling said user to select one of said searchable fields and one or more of said items; receiving the codes associated with the selected items, and performing a search in response thereto; and translating results from said search into said language, and providing the translated results to the user. Preferably, the translating step includes the step of converting the data structure of a date or an amount into the selected language.
