Abstract
A method for managing a user interface (UI) string table, comprising placing a UI string table at a string table management unit; administrator(s) editing the UI string table through an administrator interface of a UI string table manager; and read-only users (ROUs) accessing the UI string table through a ROU interface of the UI string table manager. The XML-formatted string table manager tool for printers and other devices is used by administrators to maintain the string table and by software and QA engineers to access it, possibly remotely. The result is a more efficient localization process, by eliminating the manual sharing and merging of multiple string tables by the localization team. Methods also include hierarchical organization into top, language, tab, dialog, and string levels; optional string ID number; add, edit, remove, search features; automatic selection and insertion of hotkey character for a new English and Asian language string; and a string table server to which local copies are synchronized.
