Electronic device and method for supporting multiple languages in image measurement programs

A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device to perform a method for supporting multiple languages in an image measurement program, the method comprising:

• recording detailed information in relation to a new language file added to a template file, wherein the template file is editable by authorized users and provided by the image measurement program and stored in an installation directory of the image measurement program in a storage device, and the template file is accessible and editable by authorized users of the image measurement program, and the detailed information comprises items provided by a user interface of the image measurement program and expressed in the new language;
• creating one or more executable files for the image measurement program according to the template file;
• in response that the image measurement program is started, adding the new language to a language selection menu of the user interface by executing the one or more executable files;
• and
• displaying all languages available to the image measurement program under the language selection menu of the user interface, and displaying all the items provided by the user interface in a user-selected language on a display device.
