摘要

A multilingual processor is disclosed herein, for building screen images on the display screen and for decoding multilingual commands, in an information processing system. The information processing system includes an execution unit having a memory, a bulk storage and a workstation connected thereto, the workstation including a keyboard connected to a display screen for inputting command and working text information to the display screen. The multilingual processor includes a document library stored in the bulk storage device including a plurality of language documents and at least one user document. The language documents each characterize a selected language and include a displayable components portion and an executable components portion. A language document selector accesses a selected one of the plurality of language documents in response to a user language selection input from the keyboard specifying that commands and messages are to be in one of the selected languages. A message processor accesses the displayable components portion from the first one of the language documents, for the real-time display of messages on the display screen in the first language. A command processor accesses the executable components portion from the first one of the language documents in response to a user command input in the first se­lected language to the keyboard, for decoding and exe­cuting the user command input in the first language.
