摘要
An application-independent language module for language-independent applications responds to a request from an application identifying a concept that is generic to a plurality of languages and the language that the concept is to be expressed in, by generating and returning an expression of the identified concept in the identified language for the application to communicate. The language module is implemented in object-orientated programming form and includes instances of the following foundation class objects that are provided by an infrastructure for language module development: a concept object for defining the generic concepts in a language-independent manner and pointing to concept definitions each defining the corresponding concept in a different language, a concept definition object for defining the concepts in language-dependent manner and pointing to parsers each for expressing a part of an expression of the concept in the language of the concept definition and associating any variables that are involved in the concept with parsers, and a parser object for expressing parts of the concept expressions and values of any associated variables in the languages of the concept definitions. Variables are defined at the concept level. Also included are foundation classes for languages, variables, and data types. The development infrastructure further includes an application program interface (API) for creating, modifying, and deleting class instances in a database compilable into the language module repository, and a database of media fragments for forming communicable versions of the concepts.
