Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily generate an operating system using a message of native language by holding a various kinds of messages in two hinds of language in a file, and substituting the message to the native language when the operating system is used. CONSTITUTION:A native language message generating means 2 generates message groups translated to Japanese language by a translator at a site as a work file 6 by referring to an English message group in a system file 5 by a two language message holding means 1. The generated message group is substituted a corresponding Japanese language message group in the system file 5 by a native language message substitution means 3 classified by every application by utilizing a tool. And by designating a various kinds of system SG parameter classified by every application by a substituted message out of a various kinds of messages classified by every application at the time of starting up the system, a native language message output decision means 4 classified by every application outputs the native language message of corresponding application to the system. In such a way, it is possible to easily generate the system using the native language message.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to operating systems.

In particular, it relates to how an operating system supports native language messages.

〔overview〕

In the native language support method of the operating system, the present invention stores various messages of the operating system in files in two languages, and allows the operator to understand the messages by replacing them with the native language when using the operating system. This makes it easy to create an operating system using messages in your native language.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of technology stores some messages within the operating system, but not all messages are in files and there is no means for replacing them on a per-purpose basis.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional method described above, even though some of the messages of the operating system are stored in the file, the majority of the messages are not in the file and there is no replacement means for each purpose, so the operation 1/-fing system cannot be used. The disadvantage is that messages cannot be translated into the native language of any country.

The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks and provides a method that allows relatively easy creation of an operating system that uses messages in the native language of any country.

Means for Solving Problem C] The present invention provides bilingual message holding means for holding English messages and corresponding messages in different languages in a plurality of system files for different uses; B) Native language message creation means for creating a native language message by translating the corresponding message into the above language based on the English language stored in the system file using the 35 message storage means and writing it into the work file. and a method for replacing the native language message created in the work file by this native language message creation means with the Japanese message held by the bilingual message storage means into the system file unit according to the above usage. The present invention is characterized by comprising a native language message replacement means and a purpose-specific native language message output determination means for outputting the message replaced according to the purpose by the user-side native language message replacement means when the operating system is executed.

[Effect]

The bilingual message holding means holds messages in both English and another language in a plurality of system files for each purpose, and the native language message creation means holds messages in two languages in the system file. A native language message is created by translating the corresponding message into the native language of any country based on the English that was written, and written in the work file, and the purpose-based native language message replacement means is translated into the work file by the native language message creation means. The mother E13N message held by the bilingual message holding means is replaced with the message created in the system file unit according to the purpose, and the native language message output determination means according to the purpose is replaced by the native language message replacing means according to the purpose. Output messages replaced by usage when the operating system is executed.

This makes it relatively easy to create an operating system that uses native language messages.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the flow of operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention has a bilingual message holding means 1 that holds messages in both English and Japanese in a plurality of system files 5 according to usage, and a bilingual message holding means 1 that stores messages in the system files 5. The native language message creation means 2 translates the corresponding message into Japanese based on the English stored in the native language to create a Japanese message and writes it into the work file 6. a native language message replacement means 3 for each purpose, which replaces the Japanese message created during 6, held by the bilingual message holding means I with five units of system files for each purpose; A native language message output determining means 4 for each purpose is provided, which outputs the message substituted for each purpose by the native language message replacing means 3 when the operating system is executed.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be explained.

Messages that can be visually captured by the user in the operating system are: - Console message, - System report message, - 5YSOUT message, - Command menu message, - Command screen message, - Command error message, - Data of each component. These include messages by message usage.

A bilingual message holding means 1 holds a group of English and Japanese messages in each of the above-mentioned system files 5 for each purpose and ships them to the site.

The native language message creation means 2 refers to the English message group held in the system file 5 by the bilingual message holding means 1, and generates the message group translated into Japanese by the local translator into a work file 6. Create to.

The message group created in the work file 6 by the native language message creation means 2 is converted into the corresponding system file 5 by the usage-specific native language message replacement means 3 using the tools for each system file for each usage type. Perform permutation on the Japan Sango Metsuseji group.

By specifying various system SG parameters for each application at the time of startup of the operating system, the various messages according to application of the operating system replaced by the native language message replacement means 3 for each application can be used to determine the corresponding application by the native language message output determination means 4 for each application. Outputs native language messages on the operating system.

This makes it possible to replace only the part for the required purpose, and if the entire part is not converted to Japanese, it will support a mixed English and Japanese operating system.

Although Japanese is used as the native language in this embodiment, the target language is not limited to Japanese, and the language of any other country may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, by having various messages of an operating system in a file in two languages, messages in the country where the operating system is used can be easily replaced with messages in the native language. This has the effect of making it relatively easy to create an operating system that uses a country's native language messages.
