Abstract

A method and system for providing a multi-lingual user interface such as to collect responses to questionnaires. The method consists of first defining a meta level specification for the interface (typically as one or more database entries) wherein the meta level specification includes a language specifier, one or more page specifications, and an optional designator for where to user store responses. The page specifications define the textual content of a visual page as objects within the page, and also define branching logic which controls transitions between pages in response to user inputs. The textual objects may include language-dependent specifications for where to render the text on the page, and at what size. In a preferred embodiment, the meta specification is defined as a database object. The textual objects can also specify attributes for the text as rendered on the visual page. In turn, the attributes may be a size or position of the text, the values of which depend on the language specified.
