Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that expands a symbolic representation of a data item into a locale-specific textual representation of the data item. The system operates by first receiving a locale-independent symbolic representation of the data item. Next, the system obtains a locale attribute that identifies a version of a language that is spoken in a locale, and then expands this symbolic representation of the data item into the locale-specific textual representation of the data item.
