Abstract: A solution for translating translatable components in a file containing structured information from a source language to one or more selected destination languages is disclosed. In an embodiment, the translatable components in the original file may be identified by an identifier. Such an identifier may be, for example, a prefix character string, which may be located using a suitable parser. The file and its translatable components may then be separated into a structural base or “skeleton” file, and an “isolated” file containing the translatable components. The translatable components in the isolated file may then be translated from the source language to a selected destination language to form translated components. These translated components in the isolated file may then be merged with the skeletal file to create a new file having substantially the same structure as the original file, but with the translatable components translated into the selected destination language.

Abstract: To provide a technique for connection from a conventional personal computer having no terminal ID to a service site for mobile phone terminals. A simulation server 4 is set as the proxy server for a personal computer 5 or 9. In the proxy server (simulation server 4), terminal ID's suitable for the format are generated, and a cookie is generated for each personal computer or session. The terminal ID's and cookies are related and stored as a hash table 10. In the proxy server 4, a terminal ID is appended to a request from the personal computer 5 or 9, and the request is transferred to an i-mode server 3 along with the terminal ID.

Abstract: A technique for retrieving and processing data retrieved from a non-contact recording medium without physically contacting the non-contact recording medium. The non-contact medium contains coded data including a data declaration, a graphical user interface, a determining function, and specification of a communication protocol. A portable terminal reads the data from the non-contact medium, decodes the data into a structured language code file including a data declaration function, a determining function, and a communication protocol specifying function, and stores the code file. A user may select a stored code file, which executes on the portable terminal and performs display control. The portable terminal then communicates data from the selected code file to an external device by using a specified communication protocol from the selected code file.
