Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2320593A] Computer installation 1 for a paper pulping and manufacturing process has a central processing unit 2 which receives data from a variety of sensing location and instruction inputs. Output signals from unit 2 are handled by user-interface (UI) unit 4 and passed on to graphics card 5 for display on screen 3. Multi-language processor unit (MLPU) 6 has a number of data stores 7 each assigned to a specific different language. When MLPU 6 receives a request for another language and notes that a display, with script to be changed, is about to be created and displayed, the MLPU inserts language-modification signals LM into the UI signal by attaching the LM signals to a software hook.
