Abstract
A download component queries a computer containing an application for requesting resources to determine languages associated with the computer. The download component then accesses the remote database and conducts a match between the queried languages on the computer and available languages in the database. The download component then downloads resources for each of the matched languages and a default language, such as English. A smart query module associated with the application on the computer is provided for choosing language resource files for the application. An algorithm is provided for choosing a language resource based upon user default settings and available resources, with a fall back to a default language, e.g., English.
