Abstract: A method for internationalizing a markup document includes detecting a localization tag in the document, retrieving localization information from the document which is associated with the localization tag, searching a translation file for a localized value associated with the localization information, and replacing the localization tag in the document with the localized value found in the translation file. The localization information includes any one or more of a localization attribute, a default localization value, and a value corresponding to an automatic transcription function. A system for internationalizing the markup document includes a first storage unit which stores the markup document, a second storage unit which stores the translation file, and a localization tool which localizes the markup document stored in the first storage unit based on information in the translation file stored in the second storage unit.

Abstract: In order to test whether a given signal of a complex circuit has the correct behavior, a method is provided which makes it possible to obtain in a computer memory a profile of states of other signals. In order to minimize the processing time and the memory space required to obtain this profile, the method uses two binary decision diagrams starting with a binary variable of said one signal, each with two binary decision subdiagrams. The method combines the binary decision subdiagrams so that the given signal is in a first state when the binary variable is at a first value and is not in this first logical state when the binary variable is at a second value.
