A model for a digital, computer readable document that includes a hidden layer of embedded translations for the words and phrases that occur in the overt text of the document is disclosed. A hidden layer contains translations of these words and phrases from the original or overt language of the document to any given language, or to several given languages. Embedded translations that are in the hidden layer become overt when a user actively requests to see them, using an operating means. Translations are inserted automatically, by computer program, or manually by human translator. The format of the file will present the original text by default and the translations by specific user activation. Embedded translations are also usable by search engines, enabling the indexing of content of the document in the language(s) that appear in the embedded translation layer, in addition to the original language. |
