1. A method for supporting creation of a manual of a program product, the method implemented by a processing unit, and the method comprising: receiving, via an editor creating the manual, a start tag of a user-interface element of the program product for which the manual is being created; in response to receipt of the start tag, activating an acquisition mode of a user-interface of the program product, wherein, in the acquisition mode, character strings of the user-interface are displayed with respective master-identifiers appended; receiving a selection of a character string corresponding to the user-interface element; recording, in the editor, adjacent to the start tag of the user-interface element, the character string and the master-identifier; receiving, via the editor, an end tag of the user-interface element; in response to receipt of the end tag, deactivating the acquisition mode of the user-interface of the program product; receiving, via the editor, a description of the user-interface element; detecting a category of the user-interface element, and a screen position of the user-interface element; in response to receipt of the description, recording an entry in a screen character string control table, the entry comprising, the character string, the master-identifier associated with the character string, a language identifier of the character string, a category information of the user-interface element, the screen position of the user-interface element, and a positional information where the character string is recorded for being displayed on the user interface element; and maintaining consistency between the character string displayed on the user-interface element and in the manual.
