A method for synchronous updating of multiple language web content for use in a primary server and several secondary servers. The method first employs a timer to notify the primary server. The primary server then searches for updated content in web content, composes an updated web content file, and synchronously transmits the updated web content file to the secondary servers in response to the notification. After receiving the updated web content file, the secondary server compiles the updated web content file, codes it by dynamically linking to a language code setting, transfers the updated web content file according to a specific language, and updates web content corresponding to the web content on the primary server using the updated web content file.
A method of synchronously updating of multiple language web content, comprising the steps of:
A method for synchronous updating of web content for use in a secondary server having a language code setting and second web content in a second language, comprising the steps of:
An apparatus for updating web content, comprising:
A machine-readable storage medium storing a computer program which when executed causes a computer to perform a method of synchronous updating of web content for use in a secondary server having a language code setting and second web content in a second language, said method including the steps of:

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to web content updating technology, and in particular, to an apparatus and method that synchronously updates multiple language web content.
2. Description of the Related Art
The aforementioned contents, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the process of the method for synchronous updating of multiple language web content according to the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the architecture of the apparatus for synchronous updating of multiple language web content according to the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows the process of the method for synchronous updating of multiple language web content according to one embodiment of the present invention. The method for synchronous updating of multiple language web content according to the present invention is suitable for use in a system including a primary server and several secondary servers. The primary server includes web content and a timer, in which the web content may comprise at least one file based on a specific format recognized by a browser. For example, the web content may follow the HTTP (hypertext transmission protocol) and be recognized by the web browser. The web content may be updated periodically or irregularly. The timer notifies the primary server to search for updated web content. Each secondary server has a language code setting and web content corresponding to the web content on the primary server. Similarly, the web content may comprise at least one file based on a specific format recognized by the browser.
The primary server (step S100) is first notified by the timer. After receiving notification, the primary server searches for updated web content, and composes an updated web content file. The updated web content file is then compressed (step S102), and synchronously transmitted to the secondary servers (step S104).
Each secondary server then compiles the received updated web content file (step S106), and codes it by dynamically linking to the language code setting (step S108). Thereafter, each the web content on each secondary server is modified based on the updated web content file (step S112). In step S112, each secondary server may first transfer the updated web content file according to a specific language used in the secondary server, and the web content is then modified based on the updated web content file.
