1. A method of displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) of a first dialog box on a display screen of a computing device, the method comprising, for a localizable display element of a set of localizable display elements of the first dialog box, each localizable display element having a non-localized element name: searching through a first chain of properties files of the first dialog box for a display term mapped to by the non-localized element name of the localizable display element; in response to searching through the first chain of properties files, determining that the display term mapped to by the non-localized element name of the localizable display element is not found within the first chain of properties files; in response to determining that the display term mapped to by the non-localized element name of the localizable display element is not found within the first chain of properties files, further searching through a second chain of properties files associated with a second dialog box for the display term mapped to by the non-localized element name of the localizable display element, the first chain of properties files being pre-configured to inherit properties from the second chain of properties files; and when the display term mapped to by the non-localized element name of the localizable display element is found within the second chain of properties files, displaying the display term mapped to by the non-localized element name of the localizable display element found within the second chain of properties files in place of the localizable display element of the first dialog box on the GUI of the first dialog box on the display screen of the computing device.
