Verification of stream oriented locale files

A computer implemented method for preparing a plurality of stream oriented locale files for verification, said method comprising:

• obtaining at least one of said plurality of stream oriented locale files as input;
• determining more than one of said plurality of stream oriented locale files exist;
• responsive to a determination that more than one of said plurality of stream oriented locale files exist, merging said more than one of said plurality of stream oriented locale files into one stream oriented locale file, wherein the plurality of stream oriented locale files comprise a base stream oriented locale file and a supplemental stream oriented locale file and the supplemental stream oriented locale file overrides a portion of the base stream oriented locale file;
• locating a respective portion of said stream oriented locale file;
• creating an output portion from said respective portion by selectively invoking a process based on said respective portion, wherein the process is a script;
• storing said output portion in a memory, wherein output portion comprises a context of use string;
• formatting said output portion, stored in said memory, into a formatted string for output, wherein said step of formatting said output portion further comprises:
• obtaining a sample data adapted for said output portion;
• obtaining a template adapted for said sample data and said output portion;
• and
• formatting said output portion in conjunction with said sample data and said template to create said formatted string;
• and wherein processing said respective portion further comprises:
• replacing a character representation with a symbolic name;
• and
• storing said symbolic name in a memory associated with an instance of said character representation;
• comparing said formatted string with a reference data using computer-readable program code and using a user visually comparing said formatted string to a reference data;
• selectively updating said stored output portion in said memory and initializing a change indicator as indicated by said comparison;
• and
• selectively updating said stream oriented locale file as indicated by said change indicator.
