Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for testing various language versions of an application program using a single test script. An internal dictionary and/or an external dictionary are used to provide translations of command strings from one language to the specific language of the application program. The test script may then be translated at run time using the dictionaries to allow the testing program to test the application program in accordance with the language of the application program. Fuzzy match logic may be used to provide appropriate language translation of the command string. The internal dictionary may be automatically updated at run time so that it may learn language translations of unknown command strings for future runs.
