Abstract

A method for language translation of a toolkit menu is provided, which includes receiving, by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) toolkit module, the toolkit menu from a SIM card module, determining, by the SIM toolkit module, whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language, and translating, by the SIM toolkit module, the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language.

Claims

1. A method for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:

receiving, by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) toolkit module, the toolkit menu from a SIM card module;

determining, by the SIM toolkit module, whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language; and

if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language, translating, by the SIM toolkit module, the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising maintaining the language of the toolkit menu by the SIM toolkit module, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format.

4. A method for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:

receiving, by a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) toolkit module, the toolkit menu from a SIM card module;

determining, by the SIM toolkit module, whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language;

requesting the SIM card module, by the SIM toolkit module, for translation of the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language;

translating, by the SIM card module, the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language; and

providing, by the SIM card module, the toolkit menu in the translated language to the SIM card module.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising maintaining the language of the toolkit menu by the SIM toolkit module, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the translation into the user-defined language is requested using an envelope command format.

8. An apparatus for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:

a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card module for providing the toolkit menu, translating the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, and providing the toolkit menu in the translated language;

a SIM toolkit module for receiving the toolkit menu, determining whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language, requesting translation of the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language, and receiving the toolkit menu in the translated language from the SIM card module.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the SIM toolkit module maintains the language of the toolkit menu, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language.

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the translation into the user-defined language is requested using an envelope command format.

12. An apparatus for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising:

a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card module for providing the toolkit menu; and

a SIM toolkit module for receiving the toolkit menu, determining whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language, and translating the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the SIM toolkit module maintains the language of the toolkit menu, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language.

14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the toolkit menu is provided using a proactive command format.

15. A Computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for language translation of a toolkit menu, comprising;

a first code segment for receiving the toolkit menu;

a second code segment for determining whether a language of the toolkit menu matches a user-defined language;

a third code segment for translating the language of the toolkit menu into the user-defined language, if the language of the toolkit menu is different from the user defined language; and

a fourth code segment for maintaining the language of the toolkit menu, if the language of the toolkit menu matches the user-defined language.
