Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products internationalize a user interface (UI) control layout for an application by extracting a translatable text resource comprising a pattern of a message for performing the control layout from a source code of the application. Language information is received that is indicative of one or more languages for the UI control layout. Based upon the received language information, the pattern is constructed and dynamically laid out at run time for graphical presentation to one or more users. The graphical presentation is used to implement the UI control layout in accordance with the one or more languages.
