Automated software internationalization and localization

摘要

Technologies are disclosed herein for automated software internationalization and localization. In particular, an internationalization and localization (“I&L”) network service is disclosed that provides functionality for automating the process of internationalizing and localizing software. Program source code can be submitted to the I&L network service for internationalization and localization. Hard coded text strings in the source code can be automatically identified, such as through the use of static analysis of the program source code, and translated into different human readable languages specified by a software developer. The hard coded text strings in the source code can be replaced by program code, such as method calls, for obtaining the translated text strings at run time. The I&L service can also be utilized in conjunction with a deployment service for automated internationalization, localization, and deployment of program code.
