Automatic identification of machine translation review candidates

A computer usable program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the stored program instructions comprising:

• program instructions to analyze, using a processor and a memory, a portion of a software product to determine a first language used in the portion and a subject-matter domain of the portion;
• program instructions to extract using the processor and the memory, a string from the portion, wherein the string has been translated into the first language of the string from an original string in an original language, the original string existing in a version of the software product in the original language;
• program instructions to select a corpus, wherein the corpus comprises a set of stored strings, each stored string in the set being in the first language, and wherein a subset of the set of stored strings is selected from a content that is related to the subject-matter domain of the software product;
• program instructions to select, responsive to the string matching a stored string in the corpus, the string into a shortlist;
• program instructions to exclude, from the shortlist a second string extracted from the portion, the second string failing to match any stored string in the corpus;
• and
• program instructions to output the shortlist, the outputting causing a review of an accuracy of a machine translation process to be performed.

A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:

• program instructions to analyze, using a processor and a memory, a portion of a software product to determine a first language used in the portion and a subject-matter domain of the portion;
• program instructions to extract using the processor and the memory, a string from the portion, wherein the string has been translated into the first language of the string from an original string in an original language, the original string existing in a version of the software product in the original language;
