Abstract
A computer system/program (10) for converting at least keywords in a program source code. The system/program (10) has a program source code conversion means (12) for converting C/C++ source codes including C/C++ keywords written in a non-English language such as French or Spanish into a form that can be compiled by a standard compiler, storage means (20) storing English keywords of C/C++ and words in at least one other natural language corresponding to said keywords, and program code conversion for converting keywords and other words written in one natural language into a target code in another natural language. The system/program (10) can be in the form of a compiler or incorporated into a computer operating system so that the natural language for the system interface can be selected.
Claims17
A computer system for converting at least keywords in program source code of a high level programming language having reserved keywords in a natural language, the computer system comprising storage means adapted to store the keywords of the programming language, the keywords being nominally used for programming the source code written in the natural language, and words in at least one other natural language corresponding to said keywords;
- and program code conversion means adapter to access said storage means for converting keywords or corresponding words in the program source code written in said natural language or one of said at least one other language, to corresponding words or keywords as stored in the storage means into a target source code in another natural language.
A computer program for converting at least keywords in program source code of a high level programming language having reserved keywords in a natural language, the computer program comprising storing means adapted to store in a storage means the keywords of the programming language nominally used for programming the source code in the natural language and words in at least one other natural language corresponding to said keywords, and program code conversion means adapter to access said storage means for converting keywords or corresponding words in a program source code written in said natural language or one of said at least one other natural language to corresponding words or keywords as stored in the storage means into a target source code in another natural language.
A computer operating system comprising interface language selection means adapted for selecting one from a plurality of natural languages for presenting system interface, storing means adapted to store in storage means keywords of the programming language used for programming the operating system source code in a natural language and words in at least one other natural language corresponding to said keywords, and program code conversion means adapter to access said storage means for converting keywords or corresponding words in a program source code written in said natural language or one of said at least one other natural language to corresponding words or keywords as stored in the storage means into a target code in another natural language selected for the interface.
