Multi-language compatible information system

摘要

A multi-language compatible service offering/receiving system. A service server (1) and a service client (2) are connected to a translation rule managing server (3) managing translation rules for translating information expressing forms by way of an intermediate expression form. Upon sending of information from the service server (1) to the service client (2), the service server (1) translates a specific language contained in the data to be sent out into a language of the intermediate expression by referencing the translation rules. The service client (2) translates the intermediate expression into specific expression by using the translation rules for displaying the data resulting from the translation. When the translation rules are unavailable in the service server (1) and the service client (2), the translation rule is acquired from the translation rule managing server (3).
