  • Patent number: 9372672
    Abstract: Techniques that enable relatively easier translation of programs by translators, without requiring undue disclosure of information about the program. A translation assistant provides a model of the program instructions, for the translator to view the screen elements and translate them in context, without seeing the program code. The programmer and the translation assistant, working together, capture screen images to be reviewed by the translator, which provide context for translation. The translation assistant intercepts coded instructions to write to the screen when the program is in use. The intercepted instructions are logged and converted to descriptions in a screen-presentation language. The screen-presentation language is sent to the translator, who can edit the text of the wording on-screen, without seeing the underlying program code. An alternative communication line can be established between the programmer and the translator, for questions about intended meaning.
