Abstract

One or more computers are programmed to obtain an identifier of a natural language (“session language”). Additionally, the one or more computers are programmed to create and store in a computer memory, a webpage to be displayed to the user, including at least a title of a piece of content. In addition, the one or more computers automatically use the language identifier to select from among multiple tags that are expressed in multiple languages, a set of tags in the session language. One or more tags in the selected set are then stored in the web page in the computer memory, if the selected set is non-zero. If the number of tags in the selected set is zero (i.e. there exist no tags in the session language), in some embodiments a message is included in the webpage, indicating that there are no tags available.

Claims

1. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions to cause a computer to:

obtain a first identifier of a first language;

create and store in a memory of said computer, a webpage comprising at least a title of a piece of content;

use the first identifier of the first language to select a first set of tags expressed in the first language and tagged to said piece of content, from among a plurality of tags expressed in a plurality of languages;

store at least one tag in the first set of tags in said webpage in said memory, if the first set is non-zero; and

use a second identifier to select a second set of tags expressed in a second language different from the first language, if the number of tags in the first set is zero; and

store in the webpage in said memory, at least one of;

(A) a hyperlink to the second set tags; and

(B) at least one tag in the second set of tags.

2. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 wherein the plurality of instructions further cause said computer to:

use an identifier of said piece of content in addition to said first identifier, to select the first set of tags.

3. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 wherein the plurality of instructions further cause said computer to:

display a link indicating availability of tags in the second language;

wherein the second set of tags are displayed only in response to user clicking on said link.

4. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 wherein the plurality of instructions further cause said computer to:

display a message indicating no tags available in the first language.

5. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 wherein:

the computer displays no tags adjacent to the description, other than tags in only one of the first set and the second set.

6. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 wherein:

the second identifier has a predetermined value for all users of the computer.

7. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 wherein:

prior to receipt of the first identifier, the plurality of instructions cause the computer to store in the memory, the first set of tags associated with the first identifier of the first language.

8. The one or more computer-readable storage media of claim 1 further comprising instructions to cause said computer to:

display the first set of tags adjacent to the description in the first language, if the number is greater than zero.

9. A computer-implemented method for versioning data, the method comprising:

receiving a first identifier of a first language, of a session of a computer with a user;

automatically displaying in the first language, at least a description of a piece of content accessible to the computer;

at least one processor using the first identifier to retrieve from said memory, a first set of tags expressed in the first language; and

automatically checking if a number of the tags in the first set is greater than zero and if not then automatically using a second identifier to retrieve and display adjacent to the description in the first language, a second set tags expressed in a second language different from the first language.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 further comprising:

automatically using an identifier of said piece of content in addition to said first identifier, to select the first set of tags.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 further comprising:

automatically displaying a link indicating availability of tags in the second language;

wherein the second set of tags are displayed only in response to user clicking on said link.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 further comprising:

automatically displaying a message indicating no tags available in the first language.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 wherein:

no tags are displayed adjacent to the description, other than tags in only one of the first set and the second set.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 wherein:

the second identifier has a predetermined value for all users of the computer.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 further comprising:

prior to receipt of the first identifier, automatically storing in the memory, the first set of tags associated with the first identifier of the first language.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 further comprising:

automatically displaying the first set of tags adjacent to the description in the first language, if the number is greater than zero.

17. An apparatus for interfacing with a user, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the apparatus comprising:

means for receiving a first identifier of a first language, of a session of said computer with a user;

means for displaying in the first language, at least a description of a piece of content accessible to the computer;

means for using the first identifier to retrieve from said memory, a first set of tags expressed in the first language; and

means for checking if a number of the tags in the first set is greater than zero and if not then using a second identifier to retrieve and display adjacent to the description in the first language, a second set tags expressed in a second language different from the first language.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising:

means for using an identifier of said piece of content in addition to said first identifier, to select the first set of tags.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising:

means for displaying a link indicating availability of tags in the second language;

wherein the second set of tags are displayed only in response to user clicking on said link.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising:

means for displaying a message indicating no tags available in the first language.
