METHODS FOR CREATING A MULTILINGUAL WEB APPLICATIONS

摘要

A system and method for providing multi-locale and multi-currency applications (530A, 530B) that may be used by multiple users, each of which submits requests and expects replies in a different language or currency (510, 520). In one embodiment, a user at a client computer (500A, 500B) submits a request for information to a server (135). The server identifies a locale (including attributes such as language) and/or currency (including appropriate format of presentation) to associate with the user, and then constructs a dynamic Web page that contains text in at least one of a plurality of languages and/or currency and other symbols in any one of a plurality of language formats. If the user requests a locale, language or currency format that is not supported, the present system and method will determine a default or alternate response that will closely satisfy the user's request.
