Abstract:
1. A method for consistently configuring language support across an operating system and at least one application program, the method comprising: determining, by a processor, whether characters present in the at least one application program are in a language writing system for which the language support is not currently enabled for the at least one application program; determining, in response to determining that the characters present in the at least one application program are in the language writing system for which the language support is not currently enabled, that a user is working in a language associated with the language writing system for which the language support is not consistently deployed; and providing, in response to determining that the user is working in the language associated with the language writing system for which the language support is not consistently deployed, an integrated process for receiving and implementing at least one first language setting for the operating system and at least one second language setting for the at least one application program, wherein the integrated process comprises: displaying the at least one first language setting for the operating system and the at least one second language setting for the at least one application program, prompting the user to specify the at least one first language setting for the operating system and the at least one second language setting for the at least one application program, wherein a list of languages corresponding to the at least one first language setting and the at least one second language setting is displayed for the user to specify the language to be associated with at least one first language setting and the at least one second language setting, and receiving, from the user, the at least one first language setting selection for the operating system and the at least one language setting for the at least one application program, wherein receiving the at least one first language setting selection for the operating system comprises receiving operating system standards and format settings for the language support, the operating system standards and format settings comprising at least one of the following: custom date formats, time formats, currency formats, and number formats.
