Abstract
A computer-implemented technique includes receiving, at a server, a source code for a computer application executable by a computing device. The server extracts one or more translatable messages in a source language from the source code. The server inserts a hidden unique identifier for each of the one or more translatable messages to obtain a first modified source code, wherein each specific hidden unique identifier is operable to identify a corresponding specific translatable message during execution of the first modified source code by the computing device. The server transmits the first modified source code to the computing device. The server receives one or more translated messages from the computing device, the one or more translated messages being in a target language and having been input at the computing device in response to execution of the first modified source code. The server then outputs the one or more translated messages.
