Abstract
A method, computer program product, and data processing system for mock-translating the text messages used in a software application at runtime is disclosed. A text message in a first human language are read from a resource bundle at runtime. A textual representation of the text message having features of a second human language is then derived from the original text message and displayed in the application in place of the original text message. This textual representation may contain such features of the second human language as the character set and average length of words. The displayed textual representation can then be used to determine whether modifications to the application code need be made in order to support the second human language.
