  • Patent number: 10656786
    Abstract: An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) to guide configuration of an application is disclosed. A GUI receives user input comprising dragging and dropping an icon representing a particular configurable option into a configuration region of the GUI. The drag-and-drop user input indicates a selection of the particular configurable option. The GUI receives, through one or more interface elements, user input configuring the particular configurable option. The user input provides a context for which additional configurable options are presented to the user. Based on the context, a configuration engine selects only a subset of configurable options that are associated with the particular configurable option for presentation to a user. A GUI displays icons representing the selected subset of configurable options, but not icons representing the non-selected subset of configurable options.

  • Patent number: 8910110
    Abstract: The invention provides a computer-implemented method for estimating the cost of translating a body of text associated with a software application, wherein the software application is configured to perform one or more tasks. In particular the method comprises: determining one or more content types associated with the body of text, wherein each content type has an average word count per content unit; assigning a number of tasks associated with the software application to each content type, wherein each task has an associated number of content units; generating an estimated word count for each content type based on the number of tasks assigned to each content type and the average word count per unit for each content type; summing the estimated word count for each content type to generate an estimated word count for the body of text; and calculating an estimated translation cost based on the estimated word count.
