Abstract

A method and system for facilitating the rendering of content by a web service in a local language associated with the user device. The system includes a server configured to receive, from the web service, a request including a locale identifier and user-inputted content received from the user device. The server identifies one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier. In an embodiment, the system provides the language parameters and a content presentation engine to the web service for dynamically rendering the user-inputted content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters. In another embodiment, the server caches a content presentation engine and the language parameters to the user device for rendering content generated by the web service.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating rendering of content by a web service, comprising:

receiving, by a server from the web service, a request comprising a locale identifier and user-inputted content received from a user device, wherein the request is generated by the web service in response to receipt of the user-inputted content;

identifying, by the server, one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier; and

providing, by the server, the one or more language parameters and a content presentation engine to the web service for rendering the user-inputted content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request further comprises an application identifier.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising identifying one or more style parameters based on the application identifier.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the one or more style parameters comprise font information.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the locale identifier identifies a location of the user device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more language parameters comprise at least one of a local language file, one or more grammar rules, or one or more formulation rules.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the request further comprises application content.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the one or more language parameters and content presentation engine are provided to the web service for rendering the application content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing at least one of a font file and a keyboard layout file to the user device.

10. A computer-implemented method for rendering application content generated by a web service on a user device, comprising:

receiving, by a server from the web service, a request comprising a locale identifier and the application content;

identifying, by the server, one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier; and

caching, by the server, a content presentation engine to the user device for rendering the application content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 further comprising identifying one or more style parameters based on the application identifier.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more style parameters comprise font information.

13. The method of claim 10, wherein the locale identifier identifies a location of the user device.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more language parameters comprise at least one of a local language file, one or more grammar rules, or one or more formulation rules.

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising providing at least one of a font file and a keyboard layout file to the user device.

16. A computer readable storage medium including instructions programmed to cause a processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a server from the web service, a request comprising a locale identifier and user-inputted content received from a user device, wherein the request is generated by the web service in response to receipt of the user-inputted content;

identifying, by the server, one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier; and

providing, by the server, the one or more language parameters and a content presentation engine to the web service for rendering the user-inputted content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

17. A computer readable storage medium including instructions programmed to cause a processing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a server from the web service, a request comprising a locale identifier and the application content;

identifying, by the server, one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier;

identifying, by the server, a content presentation engine associated with the one or more language parameters; and

caching, by the server, the content presentation engine to the user device for rendering the application content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

18. A computer system comprising:

a server having;

a memory,

a processing device, coupled to the memory; and

a local language module, executed from the memory by the processing device, to;

receive, from the web service, a request comprising a locale identifier and user-inputted content received from a user device, wherein the request is generated by the web service in response to receipt of the user-inputted content,

identify one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier, and

provide the one or more language parameters and a content presentation engine to the web service for rendering the user-inputted content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

19. A computer system comprising:

a server having;

a memory,

a processing device, coupled to the memory; and

a local language module, executed from the memory by the processing device, to;

receive, from the web service, a request comprising a locale identifier and the application content;

identify one or more language parameters based on the locale identifier; and

cache a content presentation engine to the user device for rendering the application content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.

20. A computer-implemented method for facilitating rendering of content by a web service, comprising:

receiving, by a web service device, user-inputted content from a user device;

determining, by the web service device, the user-inputted content is in a non-supported language;

sending, by the web service device, a request comprising a locale identifier and the user-inputted content to a language services server;

receiving, by the web service device, one or more language parameters and a content presentation engine from the language services server; and

utilizing, by the web service device, the content presentation engine to render the user-inputted content to the user device according to the one or more language parameters.
