Patent US 5,307,265

A system and method for enabling a networking product for National Language Support (NLS) that presents end users with a single-system-image view of the network, preserves the independence of individual installations with respect to language enabling, and minimizes the amount of data that must be transmitted through the network to effect program-to-program communications. In addition, it provides a method and system for communicating messages from program to program in a standardized, program-readable format, free from the language text that would be used to communicate the same messages to human readers.
