The ample source of language solutions are parallel texts. The popularity of Internet communication has produced separate models of Internet texts such as internet forum, internet chat, an email, an electronic form, and a website www. They are no different to the traditional written texts or the newer audiovisual ones as their functionality is based on some patterns that can be chosen for suitable language solutions. The differences between Russian and Polish languages can be seen in the simplest Internet engine’s formula. Its common pattern can be noticed on official governmental and business websites.
