A method of operating a computer system to effect user-customization, primarily foreign language translation, of standard system-supplied screen displays without the need to modify underlying system source code. A transltion environment includes an autonomous processor (250) interposed between a host system (100) and access devices (201,202). Information transmitted between the host and access device is diverted to the processor for intermediate processing. One phase of this processing generates a translation file (500) which stores a mapping relationship between a first language screen and its second language counterpart. This translation file is invoked during the secod processing phase to effect a translation from the first-to-second language upon a host response and from the second-to-first language upon a host request.
