Abstract
A document retrieval and display system for retrieving source documents in different languages from servers linked by a communication network, translating the retrieved source documents as necessary, storing the translated documents, and displaying the source documents and translated documents at a client device connected to the communication network. The translation process is activated automatically by a control module, and is carried out by a machine translation module. The control module decides when a translation is necessary, selects whether to display the source document or a translated document at the client device, and determines when the source document has been updated and must be retranslated.
