ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are computer implemented methods of configuring system locale in a computer system, and apparatus for implementing same. The methods comprise presenting a computer user with a multilingual, yet locale independent, language selection screen. The language selection screen comprises a number of language options, one of which may be selected by the computer user. The language options appear in characters native to their referenced languages. The language selection screen achieves locale independence by generating elements of the screen from saved bitmap images or the like. In this manner, current locale settings (if any) are ignored, and language databases corresponding to specific locales are not accessed. After a user selects a language option, his or her computer system may be configured to reawake in a corresponding locale; or alternatively, he or she may be presented with additional language/locale option screens which depend from the locale corresponding to the user selected language.
