摘要

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR providing MULTILINGUAL TEXT IN A ELECTRONIC MEDICAL DEVICE A method and system for providing multilingual text in a electronic medical device is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a computer program contains language-generalized executable code for controlling the operation of a electronic medical device. The executable code displays a selected textual message in any of several available languages. The executable code first determines that the selected message should be displayed. Then, in response to determining that the selected message should be displayed, the executable code identifies a current language in which the selected message should be displayed from among several available languages. The executable code then retrieves the selected message expressed in the identified current language from a file containing the selected message expressed in each of the available languages, and displays the retrieved message.
