Method for automatic displaying program presentations in different languages

A computer, having an operating system, implemented method for translating and altering the language of original presentations of target application programs into a selected replacement language with a selected replacement font comprising the steps of:

• loading said target application programs into a general purpose computer for running said target application programs,
• storing a replacement language in said general purpose computer, said stored replacement language forming a database dictionary,
• storing a presentation replacement font in a computer database of fonts,
• injecting, into said loaded target application programs, a program means utilizing a dynamic link library to attach a process to said target application programs,
• running said target application program,
• receiving activities from said target application programs, and recognizing, via said attached process, that the activities contain original presentations requested by said target application programs to be communicated to the user through the operating system, and
• storing the designated replacement presentation with the selected replacement language and the selected replacement font corresponding to said original presentation language and font.

Computer apparatus for translating the language of original presentations of a target application program into a selected replacement language for display on a computer viewing screen, wherein the translation retains the original presentation meaning, comprising:

• a general purpose computer loaded with the target application program in runable form,
• means for storing a replacement language in said general purpose computer database multi-language dictionary,
• means for injecting into the loaded target application program a program means utilizing a dynamic link library to attach a process to said target application program,
• means for running said target application program,
• means for recognizing, via said attached process, the application original presentations
• means for replacing said language of said original presentations with said replacement language by looking up translations via said dictionary and wherein said recognizing and replacing occur in real-time.

Computer apparatus, having an operating system, for translating and altering the original presentation language of target application programs into a selected replacement language of a selected font comprising:
