Management strategies for internationalization in a distributed computer environment
First Claim
1. A system in a distributed computing environment having a plurality of nodes located across geographically dispersed boundaries, comprising:
- a server configured with an internationalization application programming interface configured to extract an internationalization context provided by a client device and retrieve an internationalization context management policy; and
a resource manager configured to receive the internationalization context and internationalization context management policy extracted by the server and process a request received from the client device using the internationalization context that is configured by the internationalization context management policy.

Abstract
A method and system for managing client locale information to a server in a distributed computer enterprise. When a client generates a request to a remote server, the client'"'"'s international context (e.g., locale and time zone information) is associated with the request. The server then retrieves an internationalization management policy and processes requests from the client according to the internationalization context that is configured by the internationalization context management policy. The internationalization context is propagated to successive servers that further service the client'"'"'s request.

8. A method of processing requests in a distributed computing environment having clients and a plurality of servers located across geographically dispersed boundaries, comprising:
-
receiving a first request from a client at a server;
receiving a second request from the client at the server, wherein the second request comprises an internationalization context for processing the first request;
extracting the internationalization context from the second request;
retrieving an internationalization context management policy; and
processing the first request at the server using the internationalization context that is configured by the internationalization context management policy. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19)

27. A signal bearing medium, comprising a program which, when executed, performs an operation, comprising:
-
receiving a request from a client computer, wherein the request contains internationalization context;
extracting the internationalization context from the request;
retrieving an internationalization context management policy; and
providing the internationalization context to an application in order to configure the application to process a request from the client computer according to the internationalization context that is configured by the internationalization context management policy. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
