Abstract
A computer-implemented technique can include executing a web-based application and receiving a request to translate at least a portion of the web-based application. In response to receiving the request, the technique can include identifying text portions in the web-based application, transmitting the text portions to a server, wherein receipt of the text portions causes the server to match the text portions to entries in a database associated with the server to obtain UI strings, and receiving the UI strings from the server. In in response to receiving the UI strings, the technique can include providing an indicator of a particular UI string when the particular UI string is displayed during execution of the web-based application. The technique can also include receiving a selection of the particular UI string, and outputting metadata associated with the particular UI string, the metadata representing context information for assisting a human translator.
