1. A method of providing dynamic multilingual display swapping, comprising:
- receiving a selected form selection for display, the selected form including a plurality of selected form fields;
retrieving from a database field data and display properties corresponding to the plurality of form fields, wherein the retrieved field data includes information corresponding to a plurality of languages;
populating the plurality of form fields with the retrieved field data and the retrieved display properties;
displaying a portion of the plurality of form fields with first field data from the retrieved field data corresponding to a first one of the plurality of languages and having a first display format in accordance with first display properties from the retrieved display properties; and
switching the displayed form fields from the portion of form fields with first field data corresponding to the first one of the plurality of languages to a second different portion of the form fields with second field data from the retrieved field data corresponding to a second one of the plurality of languages upon receiving a change language command, the second one of the plurality of languages having a second display format in accordance with second display properties from the retrieved display properties, wherein the second display format is different from the first display format.

18. A system having dynamic language display swapping, comprising:
-
a processor;
a database coupled to the processor; and
a screen to display a form having a plurality of form fields and to display field data associated with data from the database as a plurality of displayed form fields, wherein data from the database for the plurality of displayed form fields includes display properties defining display characteristics of the displayed field data to enable dynamic swapping between a plurality of languages and to enable dynamic re-formatting of the displayed field data in response to a change display language command.
