  • Concurrent multi-lingual use in data processing system
    Patent number: 4615002
    Abstract: A distributed, interactive data processing system is provided with the ability to allow concurrent multi-lingual use by a plurality of users having different national language preferences. A message model data collection (18) is established by storing message models via a message identifier primary key that is common for all usage and a secondary key that is the national language index. A central message service (17) is used to compose messages from message models retrieved from said message model data collection (18) using the primary and secondary keys in response to a call from an application (10), application control (12) or supervisor (13) program. The composed messages are communicated to users in their national language preference.

  • Interactive data processing system having concurrent multi-lingual inputs
    Patent number: 4595980
    Abstract: A distributed, interactive data processing system provided with the ability to allow concurrent multi-lingual use by a plurality of users having different national language preferences is further provided with the ability to be independent of the national language in which an input to the data processing system is received. A message model data collection (18) is established by storing message models via a message identifier primary key and a secondary key that is the national language index. A central message service (17) is used to compose messages from message models retrieved from the message model data collection (18) using the primary and secondary keys in response to a call from an application (10), application control (12) or supervisor (13) program. The calling program stores a message identifier primary key as the value of a variable and causes an event to be stacked for an event handler (19).
