Abstract
Multimedia data broadcasting service is now on air in BS digital broadcasting, etc. in Japan. However, the present service is based on Japanese, therefore, it is necessary to multilingualize the service for foreigners to be informed widely. Because the displayed contents for data broadcasting are composed of content itself and the display layout information, considerations other than the translation of contents are necessary for the multilingualization. The main constrictions of presentation style for multilingualization of data broadcasting are character set encoding scheme and presentation or layout scheme, such as the change of the direction for text and screen layout. In this report, the subjects concerning the layout are mainly investigated. The layout is encoded using BML (Broadcast Markup Language), and the selection of suitable tag for transformation of language is carried out. Based on the fact that the languages are classified into 3 types largely, the simulations for data broadcasting services are made in Japanese, English and Arabic as the representatives for each type. The result shows that the transformation into the suitable layout for each language is possible; for example, when Arabic is selected at the receiver, the direction of characters and visual ordering of Monomedia components is inverted on the screen from "left-to-right" to "right-to-left".
