A method and system for dynamically changing user interface terms in the help feature to the user interface language chosen by the user as opposed to the help feature language, and for converting and plugging user interface terms.

Because the help feature often refers to user interface terms, a user may become confused if the help feature refers to user interface terms in the help language rather than in the user interface language. tagging of the HTML help feature files is altered with a special set of HTML tags so that these user interface terms may be identified and converted to the user interface language. Once a particular user interface term is identified in the HTML help feature file of the help feature language, the corresponding user interface term may be retrieved from the help feature file of the user interface language by identifying the same tag. The corresponding user interface term of the help feature file of the user interface language may then be plugged into the help feature f…
