ABSTRACT:
A method for monitoring the language used by an operating system to communicate with a user via a display device. Two compatible types of operating systems are those that use a WINDOWS 3.1 operating system format and a WINDOWS 95 operating system format. The cursor in the character input area of the display device has a different color depending on the language being used by the operating system. This greatly enhances efficiency when alternately typing information in multiple languages. The method provides a small window that indicates which language is currently being used by the operating system. Contained in this window is a language conversion button that has a language indicating symbol positioned on it. The color of the symbol matches the color of the cursor. When the button is selected using a mouse or a shortcut key, the operating system switches the linguistic characters generated by signals from the keyboard to that of a different language. Thus, a user does not have to check the language interface window to determine which linguistic character generating mode the operating system is in. This greatly reduces mistakes and increases the efficiency of document production.
