7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the multimedia comprises a video, an image, an icon, an audio, or a combination thereof, useful in aiding the operation of the NDT device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the second internationalization object in the second language by,

copying the first data structure including the first internationalization object in the first language,

presenting the first internationalization object in the first language via the display, and

receiving, via the user interface of the portable NDT device, edits to the first internationalization object including replacement of at least a portion of the first internationalization object with the second internationalization object,

wherein a second data structure, different from the first data structure, includes the copied first data structure and received edits to the first internationalization object.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the second internationalization object in the second language by,

presenting the first internationalization object in the first language via the display, and

receiving, via the user interface of the portable NDT device, edits to the first internationalization object including replacement of at least a portion of the first internationalization object with the second internationalization object.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the second internationalization object in the second language by,

creating a second data structure configured to store an internationalization object associated with an operations object;

presenting the operations object associated with the first internationalization object within a list of other operations objects via the display,

receiving a selection of the operations object associated with the first internationalization object,

receiving the second internationalization object in a second language via the user interface of the NDT device, and

storing the received second internationalization object and an association of the second internationalization object with the selected operations object in the second data structure;

wherein the second data structure is different than a first data structure that stores the first internationalization object associated with the selected operations object.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the portable NDT device comprises a communications system configured to transmit data wirelessly, to transmit data through one or more wired conduits, or a combination thereof, and wherein the processor is configured to transmit the second internationalization object to a second portable NDT device, to an external system, or a combination thereof, via the communications system.

12. A tangible, non-transitory, computer readable medium storing executable instructions configured to:

present a first internationalization object in a first language that is associated with an operations object via a display during a sensing operation of a portable non-destructive testing (NDT) device;

receive input of a second internationalization object in a second language via a user interface of the portable NDT device; and

present the second internationalization object on the display as an alternative to the first internationalization object during the operation of the portable NDT device.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the instructions are configured to be executed by a processor included in the portable NDT device.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the first and second internationalization objects are, respectively, first and second text presented on an operations object, and wherein the operations object comprises a menu, a combobox, a list box, a radio button, a screen portion, a button control, a textbox control, a menu control, a tip map control, a slider control, an arrow control, a virtual joystick, a virtual control pad, a grouping control, or a combination thereof.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions configured to translate the first text into the second text via an internal language translation system, via an external language translation service, or a combination thereof.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions comprise instructions configured to present the second text in a control and to visually show if the second text fits in the control.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the first and second internationalization objects are, respectively, a first multimedia in the first language to aid in the operation of the mobile device, and a second multimedia in the second language as an alternative to the first multimedia to aid in the operation of the NDT device.

18. A method, comprising:

presenting a first internationalization object in a first language that is associated with an operations object via a display during a sensing operation of a portable non-destructive testing (NDT) device;

receiving input of a second internationalization object in a second language via a user interface of the portable NDT device; and

presenting the second internationalization object on the display as an alternative to the first internationalization object during the sensing operation of the portable NDT device.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein receiving the second internationalization object in the second language comprises,

making a copy of a first data structure including the first internationalization object in the first language,

presenting the first internationalization object in the first language via the display, and

receiving, via the user interface of the portable NDT device, edits to the first internationalization object including replacement of at least a portion of the first internationalization object with the second internationalization object,

wherein a second data structure, different from the first data structure, includes the copied first data structure and the received edits to the first internationalization object.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein receiving the second internationalization object in the second language comprises:

presenting the first internationalization object in the first language via the display, and

receiving, via the user interface of the portable NDT device, edits to the first internationalization object including replacement of at least a portion of the first internationalization object with the second internationalization object.

21. The method of claim 18 , wherein receiving the second internationalization object in the second language comprises:

creating a second data structure configured to store an internationalization object associated with an operations object;

presenting the operations object associated with the first internationalization object within a list of other operations objects via the display,

receiving a selection of the operations object associated with the first internationalization object,

receiving the second internationalization object in a second language via the user interface of the NDT device, and

storing the received second internationalization object and an association of the second internationalization object with the selected operations object in the second data structure;

wherein the second data structure is different than a first data structure that stores the first internationalization object associated with the selected operations object.
