Abstract

The invention provides, in some aspects, a system for implementing a multilingual rules-based user interface including a reference tracker (executing on a digital data processor) that identifies translatable elements—by way of example, static text, enumerated variable text, images and icons—referenced by one or more user interface rules in a rules base and that generates a translation package containing those translatable elements for at least one target locale. A rules engine (which may execute on the same or another digital data processor) retrieves, from one or more transliteration rules based on the translation facilitation package, one or more translated elements that are associated with a locale and with one or more translatable elements referenced by the user interface rules. The rules engine processes those user interface rules using those one or more translated elements and, as a result, generates a user interface with the one or more translated elements.
