US Patent 11400380 Information processing apparatus and download processing method

A language information retention section retains working language information for specifying a user-selected working language in an information processing apparatus. A download processing section downloads application software into an auxiliary storage apparatus. The download processing section acquires a data region in the auxiliary storage apparatus as needed for an application body and language-dependent files for a working language before the start of an application software download, and then executes the application software download. In a case where the working language used by an application is changed, the download processing section confirms whether or not a data region for language-dependent files for the changed working language can be acquired in the auxiliary storage apparatus
