1. A computer software method utilizing a hierarchical knowledge representation to support the translation and management of software and the data produced from said software, at multiple global locales, comprising the steps of:
- translating strings, images and other elements of the software and data produced from said software into object entities with symbols that match a local culture, differentiating semantically different symbols with the system, and reusing translated symbols of one concept in connection with translating child concepts of the one symbol, wherein said symbol is translated once at a single common point in said knowledge representation system.

Abstract
A hierarchical knowledge representation is used in order to more efficiently support the translation and management of multiple localities. Utilizing this type of knowledge representation provides several key advantages. The first is a greater ability to differentiate semantically different symbols within the system. The second, is the ability to reutilize the translation of these symbols once translated a single time; and concurrent locale support.
