System and method for supporting multi-language user interface

Abstract

The present invention provides a system of supporting multi-language user interface, the system includes an update processing subsystem and a switch controlling subsystem; the update processing subsystem substitutes a global string pointer for an original language field in the user interface, determining an object language field and its loading address of each language corresponding to the original language field, transmitting the global string pointer, the object language field of each language and its loading address to the switch controlling subsystem; the switch controlling subsystem receives an object language of user determination, valuating the global string pointer received from the update processing subsystem according to the object language field and its loading address corresponding to the object language, refreshing the user interface. The invention improves the speed of switching language, reducing the development difficulty. The invention also provides a method of supporting multi-language user interface, capable of improving the speed when switching the language, reducing the development difficulty.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to data processing technology, in particular to a system and method for supporting multilingual user interface. Background technique [0002] With the global distribution of electronic products, in order to realize the localization of the interfaces of various electronic products, a new requirement is put forward for electronic products, that is, electronic products are required to have the function of providing multilingual user interfaces, so that global users can choose according to their needs. as the language of the user interface. [0003] Currently, most systems with multilingual support adopt multilingual solutions widely used on PCs. This solution needs to establish multilingual resource information in a multilingual resource form, which is a two-dimensional array, storing characters corresponding to language-related fields, using language identification (ID) to distinguish different languages, and using field IDs to dis...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] This solution has the following disadvantages: Since the multilingual resource form is a two-dimensional array, each item must be of fixed length. Even though many fields are very short, it must be applied according to the longest field when applying for resources, thus wasting memory resources

[0007] This scheme has the following disadvantages: the language resource information data may be in the form of a database or a file, but no matter which form is used, additional storage space will be occupied, so memory resources are still wasted

It is difficult to implement the scheme for electronic devices that do not support the JAVA language

[0011] It can be seen that the current systems and methods for supporting multilingual user interfaces occupy relatively large memory resources, are slow in switching languages, and are difficult to develop
