Abstract

A Web Browser wherein all of the displayed information on the Web Browser is in the language of preference of the user. The Web Browser is further configured to provide a transparent translation module, which dynamically interacts with the command structure of the Web Page, or default settings established by the user upon initial set-up, to provide, in essentially real-time, for user retrieval, and thus access to, virtually any information source on the web in his language preference, without the intermediate, and often confusing, instructions needed to translate a displayed Web Page from a language foreign to the user into the language preference of the user. In the preferred embodiments of the invention, a plurality of dynamic links are associated with a preconfigured Web Browser having a dominant theme, wherein the dynamic links are related to the dominant theme of the pre-configured server, thus, providing user access to related Web sites without searching and/or book-marking of web sites of common interest.
