Abstract

An approach to generating a context for translating strings for a graphical user interface. The approach includes a computer receiving a string to be translated and associated source code, the string identified by a unique key within the associated source code and the associated source code is markup language. The computer identifies a first logical section of the associated source code corresponding to a unique key of the string and one or more graphical user interface components within the identified logical section of the associated source code. The computer then creates a mockup image presenting the one or more graphical user interface components and the string. The computer then labels, in the created mockup image, each of the one or more graphical user interface components and the first string of the plurality of strings, and identifies one or more additional graphical user interface components.
