Abstract: A method is provided for localizing a server application using a client-side translator. A client device selects a locale specific resource file using client locale information stored in a client operating system or provided by a user. The client locale information may be sent to a server. The client may download a locale specific resource file associated with the server application or install a locale specific resource file from a computer readable medium. The server application sends a displayable string to the client device. The displayable string may be a lookup key to mapping a locale specific string in the locale specific resource file to the displayable string. The displayable string may be replaced by the locale specific string corresponding to a translation of the displayable string. The locale specific string displays on the client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for using application development data to instantiate support information and for providing the support information instantiated using the application development data. An exemplary method for providing support information instantiated using application development data includes monitoring the application during run time to detect fault notification points in accordance with trigger definitions specifying contexts that produce the fault notification points, and providing support information corresponding to the detected fault notification points using support documents created based on meta data generated during compilation of application source code. The meta data is generated by automatically detecting marked text strings in the application source code that describe the fault notification points, and extracting from each marked text string support information that corresponds to the fault notification points.
