Technical translation for multiple-language support

Abstract

Describes a technical translation process used to produce software products for an international market. The products' user interfaces were changed to support multiple languages. The products, Expert System Environment and Expert System Consultation Environment, allow users to create and consult knowledge bases or expert systems in Canadian French, French, German, Japanese (Kanji), Spanish, and Swedish, in addition to English. Expert System Environment automatically switches the national language for the user interface when a knowledge base in a different language is loaded, thus providing multiple-language support in one product.<>
