A message model data collection (18) is established by storing message models via a message identifier primary key that is common for all usage and a secondary key that is the national language index. A central message service (17) is used to compose messages from message models retrieved from said message model data collection (18) using the primary and secondary keys in response to a call from an application (10), application control (12) or supervisor (13) program. The composed messages are communicated to users in their national language preference.Other References
