System and method implementing a translation interface within an intelligent digital experience development platform

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• identify text properties of software widgets, software forms, software templates, and software masters of a software application that do not have an internationalization key, wherein the text properties of the software widgets, software forms, software templates, and software masters of the software application show text on a user interface;
• scan source code of the software application to identify strings needed to perform translation capabilities;
• generate new internationalization keys which are set to the text properties of the software widgets, software forms, software templates, and software masters of the software application;
• replace the source code of the software application utilizing an application program interface (API) call with the new internationalization keys based on the scanning the source code of the software application;
• add the identified strings to an internationalization map, along with their respective new internationalization keys of the text properties of the software widgets, software forms, software templates, and software masters of the software application;
• translate the identified strings from a first language to a second language utilizing a translation API to produce translated strings;
• add the second language and the translated strings to the internationalization map;
• and
• save in a repository, translated software widgets, software forms, software templates, and software masters of the software application generated during the translation of the identified strings, wherein the repository eliminates the need for users to translate the same software widgets, software forms, software templates, and software masters of the software application again.

A system for translating strings of a software application comprising:

• a processor, a memory and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium associated with a computing device;
• and
• a centralized management system of the computing device including:
• a translation engine configured to implement services of a user interface reader, a JavaScript code reader, and an internationalization reader, wherein the centralized management system of the computing device is configured to:
• obtain from a software development tool, by the user interface reader, text properties of software widgets of a software application, wherein the text properties of the software widgets of the software application do not have an internationalization key;
• identify, by the user interface reader, strings in source code of the software application needed to perform translation capabilities;
• generate, by the user interface reader, new internationalization keys which are set to the text properties of the software widgets of the software application;
• replace, by the JavaScript code reader, the source code of the software application utilizing an application program interface (API) call with the new internationalization keys based on the identifying the strings in the source code of the software application;
• send, by the internationalization reader, the identified strings to the software development tool to be added to an internationalization map along with their respective new internationalization keys of the text properties of the software widgets of the software application;
• utilize, by the translation engine, a translation API to translate the identified strings from a first language to a second language to produce translated strings;
• and
• send, by the internationalization reader, the second language and the translated strings to the software development tool to be added to the internationalization map;
• wherein the user interface reader is executable code which interacts with forms and templates created at an integrated development environment (IDE) level of the software development tool, wherein the centralized management system of the computing device saves translated software widgets of the software application generated during the translation of the identified strings in a repository, and wherein the repository eliminates the need for users to translate the same software widgets of the software application again.
