Methods of code conversion are provided. Aspects include obtaining a first code point from a source data string in a first character encoding, wherein the source data string is to be converted to a target data string in a second character encoding. A target code point corresponding to the first code point is looked up in a map table, wherein the target code point is in the second character encoding. It is determined whether the first code point is a first combining character in response to receiving a lookup failure generated from the looking up operation. A combination unit having the first combining character and a base character next to the first combining character in the source data string is identified in response to determining that the first code point is the first combining character. The combination unit is converted to a substitute character in the target data string.

Code conversion

Technical solutions are described for verifying translatability compliance of a new code for a computer program product includes receiving a notification about a check-in request for the new code, and in response determining whether to verify the translatability compliance of the new code. The method further includes, in response to the translatability compliance being verified, determining whether the new code includes a hardcoded message. Further, in response to identifying the hardcoded message, the method includes sending a warning notification to a developer of the new code. Also, the method includes enabling the check-in of the new code in response to the translatability compliance not being verified.

Real-time globalization verification on development operations

During a first execution of software, historical data is logged that indicates which locale objects were used. During a second execution of the software, the historical data is read, and locale objects or subsections of locale objects are dynamically built from locale source files based on the historical data in the log that indicates which locale objects were used during the first execution. Any other locale objects or subsections that are needed that are not built initially during the second execution are dynamically built from locale source files when requested at run-time. Dynamically building locale objects or subsections based on which locale objects were used in one or more previous executions saves time that would otherwise be required to build the locale objects when they are needed at run-time. The result is significant savings in system-wide resources while still allowing for access to a large number of possible locales.

Dynamically building locale objects or subsections of locale objects based on historical data

Subsections of locale objects are dynamically built from locale source files when requested at run-time without building all subsections of the locale object. When a subsection of a locale object is dynamically built, the subsection is stored in global memory so it may be read by multiple applications. Dynamically building subsections of locale objects when requested allows software to operate with a relatively small number of locale objects.

Dynamically building subsections of locale objects at run-time

Locale objects are dynamically built from locale source files when requested at run-time. When a locale object is dynamically built, it is stored in global memory so it may be read by multiple applications. Dynamically building locale objects when requested allows software to operate with a relatively small number of locale objects instead of with hundreds or thousands of locale objects, as is known in the art. The result is significant savings in system-wide resources while still allowing for access to a large number of possible locales.

Dynamically building locale objects at run-time

A method and apparatus for notifying a user of an appointment. In one embodiment, an appointment time and an appointment location is received for the appointment. A current location of a wireless device is determined. A travel time is estimated for the user to travel from the current location of the wireless device to the appointment location. A lead time is determined for the user to prepare prior to travel from the current location to the appointment location. The estimated travel time, the determined lead time and the appointment time is used to determine a projected start time. The user of the wireless device is notified of the appointment if a current time reaches the alarm time.

A method for converting a multi-byte dataword in a first extended interchange code to a multi-byte dataword in a second extended interchange code is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, multiple offset arrays and a conversion matrix are provided. Each entry in each of the offset arrays contains an offset index for indexing to the conversion matrix. First, an index value is returned from a corresponding one of the offset arrays, for each byte of a multi-byte dataword in a first interchange code. Then, all of the returned index values are added together to obtain a multi-byte dataword in a second interchange code from the conversion matrix.

Method and system for converting multi-byte character strings between

A method and computer program product are provided for rapid expansion of multibyte sort information. A master table is copied to working table in the system memory. User sort information entries are received and the working table is updated with the received user sort information entries. Then the remaining entries in the working table are updated to sort after the received user sort information entries.
