  • System and method for the support of multilingual applications
    Patent number: 7818282
    Abstract: A method, a system and a storage medium for preparing multilingual reports at client sites. The client sites are connected to a server and a data source. Each of the client sites may use a different locale. A product locale is selected at the client site for defining a user interface appearance. After a report specification is generated, a content locale is selected at the client site, which defines an appearance and a format of a report. A metadata model with run-time parameters is then constructed. The run-time parameters include mapping rules for the content locale. The run-time parameters are updated based on the content locale. A query is built using the report specification and the metadata model. Data appropriate to the individual content locale is then extracted from the same data source using the query.
