Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for rendering multilingual information encoded in human-readable and machine-readable format on an output device. A typical system according to the present invention can include a system data store (SDS) and a system processor in communication with the SDS. A search term is entered, typically by a user. A database of multilingual information in the SDS is accessed based upon the entered search term to retrieve context specific translation information. In some instance, a selection is made among multiple potential translations within the translation information. At least a portion of the translation information is provided in a format compatible with a selected output device.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing bar coded labels employs a computer that includes an acutal keyboard having a plurality of keys and a video display and is programmed to run a bar code label design tool. The label design tool displays on a first portion of the video display a label image having dimensions corresponding to a preselected label type. The label design tool also generates and displays on the label image a bar code that encodes a preselected set of data. The bar code is generated according to a bar code standard selected from a plurality of bar code standards. The bar code label design tool also allows a user to enter text onto the label image. A key mapper displays on a second portion of the video display, different from the first portion, a keyboard image. The keyboard image includes images of letters, arranged in the way that they would appear on the actual keyboard.
