1. A method of communication in a multilingual network including the steps of:
- determining a set of program messages available in a user'"'"'s language at the node where said user enters the network,identifying said set of program messages to some other node in the network by transmitting identifying information to said other node through the network,determining at said other node whether a message to be issued to said user by said other node is included in said set of program messages,transmitting a message from said other node to said node where the user entered the network in a standardized program-readable format independent of said user'"'"'s language,constructing the message identified in said program-readable format in said user'"'"'s language at said node where the user entered the network and displaying the constructed message to the user.

Abstract
A system and method for enabling a networking product for National Language Support (NLS) that presents end users with a single-system-image view of the network, preserves the independence of individual installations with respect to language enabling, and minimizes the amount of data that must be transmitted through the network to effect program-to-program communications. In addition, it provides a method and system for communicating messages from program to program in a standardized, program-readable format, free from the language text that would be used to communicate the same messages to human readers.
