Method, system and computer program product for dynamic delivery of human language translations during software operation

User interface text is implemented in identifiable software components separate from functional components containing human-language independent functionality for a software program. The software product may then be distributed and loaded into a user's system with only a basic set of human language translations for the user interface text. Different or additional human language translations may be provided to the user by downloading from an enterprise server associated with the system on which the software program is being executed, or from an Internet server operating for the software source. The additional human language translations may be downloaded, preferably automatically and invisibly to the user, to the user's system as necessary or requested. The human language translation process thus gains the "float" period normally associated with physical software distribution, speeding delivery times. Only required or desired human language translation need be stored on any given system, with additional translations consistently available if needed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide an improved method, system and computer program product for multilingual support for data processing system software.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method, system and computer program product for distributing different human language translations of user interface text in multilingual software.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method, system and computer program product for delivering and installing a human language translation for user interface text within a software program separately from remaining functional components for that software program.
The foregoing objects are achieved as is now described.
User interface text is implemented in identifiable software components separate from functional components containing human-language independent functionality for a software program.
The software product may then be distributed and loaded into a user's system with only a basic set of human language translations for the user interface text.
Different or additional human language translations may be provided to the user by downloading from an enterprise server associated with the system on which the software program is being executed, or from an Internet server operating for the software source.
The additional human language translations may be downloaded, preferably automatically and invisibly to the user, to the user's system as necessary or requested.
The human language translation process thus gains the "float" period normally associated with physical software distribution, speeding delivery times.
Only required or desired human language translation need be stored on any given system, with additional translations consistently available if needed.
The above as well as additional objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
