Image forming apparatus having translation data application and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing translation data application

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an installer portion, the installer portion being capable of installing a translation data application and an add-on application on the image forming apparatus, the add-on application for customizing functions of the image forming apparatus. The translation data application is capable of storing at least one of plural translation data files, the translation data files classified into groups each containing one or more terms in one or more languages. The translation data application includes: a program for the image forming apparatus to install the translation data file from a server; and a definition file specifying an access method for the add-on application to access the translation data application. Upon activation, the add-on application performs the following operations: accessing the translation data application by the access method; extracting a target term in a target language from the translation data file; and generating a display screen.
