ABSTRACT:
The present invention, called the Application Program Language Translator (APLT), is a method that allows application programs, performing user interfacing, to be presented/displayed in part or in whole in any language in real-time as selected by the user. In a preferred embodiment the invention comprises two processes, the Learn process and the Run process. The Learn process constructs an application specific translation table (ASTT) specifically for the target application. The Run process utilizes the ASTT during the execution of the target application and performs actual translation for the displays. Application programs can utilize graphic user interface (GUI) on graphical operating system platforms, Such as OS/2, Windows and Unix, running on personal computers (PCs) or workstations. Application programs can be a text based application running in a pure text mode operating system platform, such as DOS, OS/2 and UNIX. The most commonly used language for the presentation from these application programs is English. The target GUI application programs are software programs designed and implemented on a graphical platform utilizing a message driven approach and an operating system providing screen painting facility, such as Presentation Manager.TM. (PM.TM.) running on OS/2.TM., which are IBM Trademarks for widely available software. The target test application programs are also software programs designed on a text platform and having a finite number of formatted screens. The present invention runs in multiprocessing, networked, and client/server environments.
