This stands for the Government Legal Service, which comprises around 2,000 lawyers and trainees, working in 40 government organisations, including Departments of state and regulatory bodies. The GLS normally recruits 20-30 trainee solicitors a year, who are then trained in the work of government as well as in the law see www.gls.gov.uk.
Global Language Support. An application environment that allows Informix application-programming interfaces ( API s) and database servers to handle different languages, cultural conventions, and code sets. Developers use the GLS libraries to manage all string, currency, date, and time data types in their code. Using GLS, you can add support for a new language, character set, and encoding by editing resource files, without access to the original source code, and without rebuilding the DataBlade module or client software.
