1. A method for selectively modifying an electronic document, the method comprising: receiving a request from a user to view a user selection of text of an electronic document in an original language instead of a second translated language, the electronic document having substantially all of its text in the second translated language; analyzing the request to determine an expanded selection to be changed into original replacement language, with the analyzing step including the substep of deciding the amount of text to modify, the expanded selection including at least the user selection; determining original replacement language associated with the determined expanded selection; selectively modifying the electronic document by choosing text that best communicates the meaning of the associated original replacement language, and by permanently replacing text of the electronic document in the second translated language with chosen text that communicates the meaning of the associated original replacement language; and storing the modified electronic document.
