  • Publication number: 20050111651
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for use by a designer in preparing a translation of a script that may later be displayed to and read by a user during an interactive session with another person. In this embodiment, the GUI includes first and second sets of script areas. The first set of script areas are each capable of providing a textual display of a distinct portion of the script in a first language. The second set of script areas are each capable of providing a textual display of a distinct portion of the script in a second language. Each script area in the first set has a spatial relationship with a script area in the second set that corresponds to the same distinct portion of the script.
