Abstract
A language-specific output structure on an output medium, and an associated language database structure, method, and computer system. An algorithm determines a preferred language of the user. Then the algorithm retrieves text in the preferred language from the language database structure, and transfers the text to output zones of the output medium.

18. A method of generating a language-specific output structure on an output medium, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a descriptor database structure including at least one descriptor, at least one descriptor value for each descriptor wherein each descriptor value is expressed in a language, and a language identifier for each descriptor value wherein the language identifier identifies the language;
determining a user identifier of a user;
identifying a preferred language based on the user identifier;
determining at least one output descriptor and associating with each output descriptor an output zone of the output medium, wherein each output descriptor appears as a descriptor within the descriptor database structure;
generating a descriptor value for each output descriptor, by utilizing the preferred language and the descriptor database structure; and
transferring the descriptor value for each output descriptor to the associated output zone of the output medium.

36. A language-specific output structure, comprising an output medium and descriptor values on the output medium, wherein the descriptor values are placed on the output medium by a process comprising the steps of:
-
providing a descriptor database structure including at least one descriptor, at least one descriptor value for each descriptor wherein each descriptor value is expressed in a language, and a language identifier for each descriptor value wherein the language identifier identifies the language;
determining a user identifier of a user;
identifying a preferred language based on the user identifier;
determining at least one output descriptor and associating with each output descriptor an output zone of the output medium, wherein each output descriptor appears as a descriptor within the descriptor database structure;
generating a descriptor value for each output descriptor, by utilizing the preferred language and the descriptor database structure; and
