11. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed, cause the information processing device to:

determine whether the acquired language file includes the third description,

wherein the third description is added under the second description in response to determining that the acquired language file does not include the third description.

12. An information processing device, comprising:

a storage unit configured to store thereon a browser-openable language file that comprises;
