Abstract
A computer-implemented system, method, and product are provided to propagate an externally produced translation of a first occurrence of a word, phrase, or other group of characters to be translated (referred to herein as a “translatable source segment”) in a first source file to at least one occurrence of a corresponding target segment in one or more target files of a target project. The corresponding target segment corresponds with a second occurrence of the translatable source segment in any of the one or more source files. The source files may have the same file format, or two or more of the source files may have different file formats. Also, two or more source files may have character formats that are different from each other, and/or they may be written in different languages. In one implementation, the propagator propagates the externally produced translation to all corresponding target segments in the target project that correspond with the translatable source segment. Also, the propagator may propagate the externally produced translation to user-selected corresponding target segments in the target project that corresponds with the translatable source segment. T…
