Method and system for developing large web-based multi-language applications
First Claim
1. A system for developing large web-based multi-language applications, the system comprises:
- a user interface specification generation module for modeling software specifications;
a localization workbench module for modeling locale specific representations of user interface elements of localization specifications;
a locale specific screen generation module for generating language-dependent user interface screens out of the localization model; and
a model repository database of generated code and user interface screens used to define an application;
wherein the application uses language-dependent user interface screens out of the localization model and user'"'"'s captured cultural preferences to render the application in multiple languages and to capture, store, and display application data in multiple languages.

Abstract
A system and method to develop large web-based multi-language applications. The Localization and Internationalization approach is described using a Model Based Software Development as its core scheme. The User Interface specifications are captured data into a Model-repository using key modeling elements like Sections and Controls. Controls are the User Interface elements like Text Box, Text Area, Combo box, Display Only, Grid etc. Sections are groupings of Controls. Location, Language and user'"'"'s Culture can be ignored when the User Interface is modeled. Next step involves sing a Screen Generator to generate User Interface screens for a given Locale. A Screen Generator will get the Layout information as input from the user, and generates the Screen for that Layout.
