ABSTRACT:
A method and system for facilitating language translation of text fields within an interactive software application. A control parameter is associated with each text field within an interactive softwave application prior to translation and utilized to automatically extract each text field for translation and to reinsert a translated text field thereafter. In certain interactive software applications which utilize fixed template user-interface structures, such as dialog boxes or menu templates, the architecture will not permit captions or menu pulldown controls to be identified within the template. In such applications, an additional artificial control parameter is included within the template which contains an identifier of the text field for the caption or menu pulldown control. Thereafter, the control parameters may be utilized to automatically extract text fields for translation. An attempted automatic extraction of text fields for translation in an application, which includes dialog boxes or menu templates, will result in an error message in the absence of the required artificial control parameter.
