Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for providing content with respect to a website. A request for content is received where the request includes information related to a user. One or more pieces of localized content associated with at least one condition is retrieved when it is determined that the at least one condition is consistent with the information related to the user, where each localized content is localized with respect to the content requested. At least one of the retrieved localized content is identified when the information related to the user meets the associated at least one condition. The identified at least one localized content is sent as a response to the received request for content.

Claims

1. A method implemented on a computer having at least one processor, storage, and communication platform for providing localized content with respect to a website, comprising the steps of:

receiving a request for localized content, wherein the request includes information related to a user, temporal information, and a location on a web page where the localized content is to be displayed;

obtaining the user'"'"'s language preference;

retrieving one or more pieces of localized content designated to be displayed at the location on the web page, each of which is associated with at least a language preference condition and a temporal condition;

comparing the user'"'"'s language preference and the temporal information against the language preference condition and the temporal condition associated with each of the one or more pieces of localized content;

identifying at least one of the retrieved one or more pieces of localized content based on a result of the comparison; and

sending the identified at least one localized content as a response to the received request for localized content.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the localized content identified has one or more versions.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein one version of the identified localized content is selected.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the one version selected is determined based on one of a round robin approach, random selection approach, and a specified selection algorithm designed in accordance with the needs of an application.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the request is an HTTP request.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the information related to the user is present in the request.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the information related to the location is present in the request.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the information in the request includes at least one of:

the URL of the web page;

the URL of a referrer;

information relating to a language of a user agent;

an indication of a language related to a user agent;

an IP address associated with a user;

geo-location information of a user;

demographic information of a user; and

a cookie.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the temporal information includes at least one of:

date of the request; and

time of the request.
