摘要:
An improved application architecture comprises a bifurcated structure having a language neutral portion and a localizable portion, compacted for efficiency into a smaller set of larger files. This bifurcated structure allows for easier distribution and updating of the application, while the reduced set of files provides for more efficient file management. A resource manifest can be specified during the compile stage to identify elements that are language specific and elements that remain language neutral. Furthermore, additional software can be used after compilation for compacting multiple localizable elements into a single file. Such compacting software can receive inputs specifying the language specific resources which are to be compacted into larger files, and the identity of those larger files. In addition, a file format can be used that can contain multiple language specific resources and can facilitate retrieval and access of individual language specific resources by the relevant language independent code.

摘要:
A system and method is provided to manage different UI language settings in a central place by merging different UI language settings and related dependency data to an integrated UI language preference list. A set of API functions is provided that enables each resource loader to gain consistent UI language support by interacting with the integrated UI language preference list.
摘要:
In a computer operating system having a user interface, a resource loader, and a registry resource database, a method for dynamically verifying whether the resource content of a resource module is compatible with the most current version of the operating system. Upon obtaining a request for a resource, the resource loader verifies that the resource modules remain compatible with the operating system prior to loading a resource from an alternate resource module. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the operating system has a multilingual user interface and utilizes resource modules that are language specific.

摘要:
Linguistic service platform techniques are described. In implementations, one or more computer-readable media comprise instructions that are executable by a computer to designate a linguistic service having a particular property responsive to an application program interface call specifying the property. Communication may be brokered between the linguistic service and the application so that communication occurs without the application directly communicating with the linguistic service.
