Intelligent text reduction for graphical interface elements

A computer system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a communications medium coupled with the processor;
• a system memory in communication with the processor via the communication medium, the system memory configured to store programmed computer code, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving inputs from an application or framework that implements the user interface when at least one text string is too long to be displayed in a display element of the user interface, the inputs comprising the text string, an amount of available space in the display element, and an identification of the language of the text string;
• executing a text reduction algorithm on the text string;
• identifying one or more short forms of the text string that fit within the available space of the display element based on executing the text reduction algorithm;
• and
• communicating the identified short forms of the text string to the application or framework for display in the display element of the user interface.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programmed computer code, which when executed by a computer system having at least one processor and a memory storing computer programs for execution by the processor, causes the computer system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving inputs from an application or framework that implements the user interface when at least one text string is too long to be displayed in a display element of the user interface, the inputs comprising the text string, an amount of available space in the display element, and an identification of the language of the text string;
• executing, by the processor, a text reduction algorithm on the text string;
• identifying one or more short forms of the text string that fit within the available space of the display element based on executing the text reduction algorithm;
• and
• communicating the identified short forms of the text string to the application or framework for display in the display element of the user interface.
