ABSTRACT:
A system and method for improved user interface screen generation for an application program which supports multilingual users. Dynamic generation of subscreens, or subpanels, which conform to a given country's language requirements is provided. These subscreens support both input and output operations between an application program and user of a data processing system. The system and method further provide improved conveyance of information between the person(s) responsible for the initial user interface screen or panel layout in the initial language, and the person(s) responsible for translating the language specific portion of this screen layout into a subsequent language. Information containing specific comments pertaining to a given field or submenu to be displayed, and its associated text, can be appended to the file containing the text to be displayed. Other information conveyed with the text file can include change log information, which specifies that only a portion of the whole file has been changed, and which portion needs to be translated as a result.
