Single server instance, multi-lingual applications based on loosely coupled metadata and presentation layers
Techniques to provide dynamic multi-lingual support for software applications such as analytics, which typically rely on two different types of data, underlying data and metadata, to generate reports. The metadata defines the underlying data and a presentation layer displays the reports, which may be generated using presentation and metadata layer objects. Each such object may be defined by a language independent representation, which may in turn be associated with multiple display or language dependent representations (i.e., translations or translated strings) for multiple supported languages. One of the languages may be selected for use in a given session, and the display representations for the selected language are then bound to the language independent representations. The binding may be dynamically performed and is session-specific.
