A couple of the development tools used to create WISL text based software have been modified to provide for translation of screens and menus. In the case of screens the user may translate screen item labels or prompt labels and view the result. With menus the menu title or menu action description may be translated and the result viewed in the context of the whole menu. In both cases the corresponding help text may also be added in the second language.
To accommodate display of table code descriptions in the other language the UNIVERSE line editor is employed. The translator simply edits a code item, inputs the translated result below the corresponding English interpretation and files the item.
