Abstract

A system, method and control program for e-commerce wherein it is possible to conduct business among a plurality of members who use a diversity of languages in security and at a lower cost are provided. An e-commerce market member terminal sends member registration application information to an e-commerce market control terminal. Accordingly, the e-commerce market control terminal sends a language information input request to the e-commerce market member terminal. Then, the e-commerce market member terminal sends the language information to the e-commerce market control terminal. After that, the e-commerce market control terminal stores the member registration application information and the language information in pairs. Besides, the e-commerce market control terminal controls a commodity dictionary wherein one commodity is written in a diversity of languages. On the basis of the commodity dictionary, the e-commerce market control terminal compiles a commodity dictionary corresponding to the specified language information, and sends the compiled dictionary to the e-commerce market member terminal. After that, the e-commerce market member terminal stores the compiled dictionary.
