Text resources processing in an application

A device comprising:

• a processing unit;
• a memory coupled to the processing unit and storing instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed by the processing unit, performing acts including:
• in response to initiation of a plug-in, running an updated application,
• wherein information displayed on at least one text resource of a plurality of text resources in an original application of the updated application is not editable, and
• wherein a subset of the plurality of text resources includes the at least one text resource;
• in response to a first piece of information displayed on a text resource of the at least one text resource being changed to a second piece of information:
• obtaining an ID of the text resource of the at least one text resource in the updated application;
• and
• mapping the second piece of information to the ID of the text resource in a file corresponding to the at least one text resource in the updated application, wherein the updated application, when built, deployed and run, comprises a first variable identifier which can be enabled to make the subset of the plurality of text resources in the updated application editable from a user interface (UI) of the updated application, and further comprises a second variable identifier which can be enabled to make an entirety of the plurality of text resources in the updated application editable from the (UI) of the updated application;
• obtaining source code of the original application;
• in response to determining a type of the source code as a programming language, and in response to the information displayed on the at least one text resource in the original application being not editable:
• determining an ID of the at least one text resource, and code templates related to the type of the source code which comprise code with editable text resources;
• inputting the ID of each text resource of the at least one text resource into the code templates to produce replaced templates;
• applying the replaced templates to produce updated source code;
• saving the replaced templates in code of the plug-in;
• and
• building and deploying the updated source code to produce the updated application.

A computer program product being tangibly stored on a non-transient machine-readable medium and comprising machine-executable instructions, the instructions, when executed on a device, causing the device to:

• in response to initiation of a plug-in, run an updated application,
• wherein information displayed on at least one text resource of a plurality of text resources in an original application of the updated application is not editable, and
• wherein a subset of the plurality of text resources includes the at least one text resource;
• in response to a first piece of information displayed on a text resource of the at least one text resource being changed to a second piece of information:
• obtain an ID of the text resource of the at least one text resource in the updated application;
• and
• map the second piece of information to the ID of the text resource in a file corresponding to the at least one text resource in the updated application, wherein the updated application, when built, deployed and run, comprises a first variable identifier which can be enabled to make the subset of the plurality of text resources in the updated application editable from a user interface (UI) of the updated application, and further comprises a second variable identifier which can be enabled to make an entirety of the plurality of text resources in the updated application editable from the (UI) of the updated application;
• obtain source code of the original application;
• in response to determining a type of the source code as a programming language, and in response to the information displayed on the at least one text resource in the original application being not editable:
• determine an ID of the at least one text resource, and code templates related to the type of the source code which comprise code with editable text resources;
• input the ID of each text resource of the at least one text resource into the code templates to produce replaced templates;
• apply the replaced templates to produce updated source code;
• save the replaced templates in code of the plug-in;
• and
• build and deploy the updated source code to produce the updated application.
