ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides the ability to internationalize a database application by providing a capability to create and maintain related international records. Data items can be stored in a base language with accompanying related copies of the data items represented in multiple languages and/or currencies. Application users can specify a preferred language. When data items are retrieved from a database, and when the user's language preference is not the same as the base language, language-dependent data items are retrieved from the related language records. When a related language record does not exist, or the preferred language is equal to the base language, the data items are retrieved from the base language records. Delete, Insert and Update operations can be performed on base language records, related language records or both.
