A method for assisting graphical user interface design includes extracting a first interface element from a first GUI under a first cultural background; searching in a rule repository for at least one transformation rule corresponding to the first interface element, where each of the at least one transformation rule includes at least an action taken on the first interface element; based on the at least one transformation rule, transforming the first interface element into a second interface element under a second cultural background; and providing a second user interface comprising at least the second interface element.

Assisting graphical user interface design

Handling locale information on a computing platform, a computer obtains, in response to an event that an application is pushed to a computing platform, locale information corresponding to the application. The computer determines the type of the application, configures a runtime executable file required by the application according to the locale information corresponding to the application and the type of the application, creates a script for configuring a locale of an operating system on the computing platform consistent with the locale information corresponding to the application, and creates a droplet for the application that includes the configured runtime executable file required by the application and is associated with the created script.

Locale aware platform

A method for optimizing a multi-language user interface layout across languages via reverse pseudo-translation using an integrated development environment is provided. The method may include selecting at least one user interface page from a group of user interface pages in a first language for pseudo-translation. The method may include selecting at least one target language from a group of target languages in which to pseudo-translate the at least one user interface page. The method may include specifying at least one layout requirement for formatting the selected user interface pages. The method may include performing pseudo-translation of the at least one user interface page. The method may include modifying, automatically, the at least one pseudo-translated user interface page through application of a merge algorithm according to the at least one specified layout requirement. The method may include implementing a reverse pseudo-translation of the at least one modified pseudo-translated user interface page.

Optimization of a multi-language user interface layout via reverse pseudo-translation

Verifying text translation in a program including obtaining a first program integrated information (PII) file and a second PII file of text in the program. An original page is generated by using the first PII file. Document object model (DOM) tree information of the original page is obtained. For each text unit in the original page: identification information corresponding to a first text unit in the first PII file is extracted; a second text unit is identified in the second PII file using the extracted identification information and a relationship between the identification information and the second text unit; and the first text unit is replaced in the DOM tree with the second text unit. A new page is generated using the text units from the second PII file.
