System and method for rendering presentation pages based on locality

Abstract

A system renders presentation pages such as in a wireless communications system. A server includes an extensible stylesheet transformation (XSLT) module. A storage medium contains at least one of images and text. The XSLT module is operative for calling an XSL extension and rendering the at least one of images and text into a presentation page based on a language requirement at a foreign locale.

Claims

1. A system for rendering presentation pages, comprising: server that includes an extensible stylesheet transformation (XSLT) module; anda storage medium that contains at least one of images and text, wherein said XSLT module is operative for calling an XSL extension and rendering the at least one of images and text into a presentation page based on a language requirement at a foreign locale.

2. A system according to claim 1, wherein a presentation page is rendered into localized content based on locale.

3. A system according to claim 2, and further comprising resource bundles that contain at least one of localized images and text that are rendered into an XML document to be processed by the XSLT module to generate localized content.

4. A system according to claim 2, wherein said localized content comprises content in a foreign language used at the locale.

5. A system according to claim 1, wherein said XSL extension comprises a JAVA extension.

6. A system according to claim 1, wherein said XSLT module is operative for rendering HTMP or WAP output.
