Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 A dialog box of a user interface of a computer program is schematically shown, which contains a text field 1 , a first pane 2 and a second pane 3 . The dialog box can be generated, for example, using conventional program libraries for generating graphical user interfaces (GUI libraries), for example by programming or using computer-supported development tools for developing user interfaces. The text usually contained in conventional graphic elements, in this figure the text contained in the text field 1, the first window pane 2 and the second pane 3 respectively, is usually included in the aforementioned method for the development of the user interface Assigned as a string parameter.

[0038] In this example the string is implemented as a wildcard string starting with a token prefix, eg two consecutive bar symbols. In this way, wildcard character strings can easily be distinguished from dialog texts which are not wildcard character strings in the following ma...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for configuring the language of a computer programme. Said method comprises the following steps: selection of a text memory in which alphanumeric message character strings are assigned to alphanumeric identification expressions; detection of identification expressions in the text memory belonging to wildcard character strings that are contained in the computer programme and replacement of the wildcard character strings of the computer programme with the message character strings assigned in the text memory, said detection and replacement process being carried out during the run time of the executable binary computer programme. To carry out the replacement, the message character strings are assigned to memory variables of the active computer programme.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method according to the general concept of claim 1 and a computer system according to the general concept of claim 7 . Background technique [0002] When a computer program is to be used in different languages ​​in different countries or regions, it is often desired that the graphic display of the computer program and especially the dialogue of the user interface of the program be adapted to the language of the country or region. In this case, for example, an output language set as standard, such as German, is changed to a preferably selected output language, such as English. [0003] According to the prior art, this is usually done by matching the language of the computer program with different other languages ​​through a process called "localization", which in the prior art is achieved by setting up simple localizable language when developing the computer program. Supported by transformation. Such program development is k...
