A method to configure a software solution may include receiving a first specification of a type of configuration data items and a second specification of system selected user attributes associated with the type of configuration data items, and receiving a configuration data item that is used to configure a first localized version of the software solution. The method may further include receiving a contributing user attribute specification that specifies a first user attribute and a second user attribute of the system selected user attributes, and generating a search tag assigned to the configuration data item. The method may further include receiving a search request to search the configuration data items, selecting, in response to the search request, the configuration data item based on the search tag, and configuring, in response to selecting the configuration data item, a second localized version of the software solution based on the configuration data item.

Matching adopting users and contributing users for decentralized software localization

A system includes (i) a configuration service executing on a computer processor and configured to select, based on a user attribute of a user, a configurable user interface, and select, based on the user attribute of the user, a configurable workflow, (ii) a contribution management system that generates a statistical measure of a plurality of users by tracking the plurality of users using the plurality of configurable user interfaces and the plurality of configurable workflows to perform a task according to a geographical region of the user, and verifies the configurable user interfaces and the configurable workflows based on the statistical measure, and (iii) a computer server configured to perform a task by at least receiving, via the configurable user interface, a user input, and executing, based on user input and according to the configurable workflow, multiple functional engines of the software solution.

Globally scalable solution

A system to configure a software solution involves a system that includes (i) a configuration service executing on a computer processor and configured to select, based on a user attribute of a user, a configurable user interface from multiple configurable user interfaces of the software solution, and select, based on the user attribute of the user, a configurable workflow from multiple configurable workflows of the software solution, (ii) a computer server configured to perform a pre-determined task by at least receiving, via the configurable user interface, a user input, and executing, based on user input and according to the configurable workflow, multiple functional engines of the software solution, and (iii) a data repository configured to store the multiple configurable user interfaces and the multiple configurable workflows.

A method to adapt a software application for a geographical region. The invention includes receiving, by a computer processor and from at least one of a plurality of users of the software application, a first translation of a localizable item in a user interface (UI) menu of the software application, wherein the first translation is based on a language of the geographical region, generating, by the computer processor, a tally of the first translation from the plurality of users, presenting, to the plurality of users via a plurality of instantiations of the UI menu in response to the tally exceeding a pre-determined count, the localizable item using the first translation, receiving, from the plurality of users via the plurality of instantiations of the UI menu, feedback regarding the accuracy of the first translation, and classifying, based on the feedback, the first translation as an approved translation of the localizable item.
