Abstract
A method is provided of displaying a GUI of a first dialog. The method includes, for a localizable display element of a set of localizable display elements of the first dialog, each element having an element name, (a) searching through a first chain of properties files of the first dialog for a display term mapped to by the element, (b) in response, determining that the display term is not found within the first chain, (c) in response, further searching through a second chain of properties files associated with a second dialog for the display term, the first chain being pre-configured to inherit properties from the second chain, and (d) when the display term is found within the second chain, displaying the display term found within the second chain in place of the localizable display element of the first dialog box on the GUI of the first dialog.
