An architecture for designing internationalized software

Presents a modular architecture for designing internationalized software, called ISDA-i (Internationalized Software Design Architecture). This architecture successfully combines the user requirements for highly personalized applications with the developer requirements for easily maintained, reusable software components incorporating high localization potential. It enlarges the reusable software libraries and minimizes the size of the program core. All the configurable components of a software application are systematically stored in external configuration and resource files, which a system administrator or end-user may edit in order to modify its appearance and behavior
