  • Method and system for localizing a computer program
    Patent number: 6035121
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for converting a computer program from a current version first language to a localized version in a target language. All resource information of the program is stored in a resource dynamic link library (DLL). A current version resource DLL is separated from executable code and compared by a leverage tool to resource DLLs of a previous version of the computer program and to a previous target language translation. The leverage tool stores all resource data from the current version resource DLL as translation records in a resource database. The translation records may include translation instructions and comments. Strings in the current version resource DLL that were present in the previous version, and already translated in the previous target language resource DLL are stored in a new target language resource DLL. Strings which are not to be translated to the target language are locked.
