EDITING SOFTWARE PRODUCTS USING TEXT MAPPING FILES

摘要

A GUI screen may include text fields, and a first resource file includes text strings for the text fields. A text mapping file may be generated to include a module for each text string, with each module including a text string from the resource file and a text string identification. A first screenshot of the GUI screen may include an original first text string from s first module and an original second text string from a second module. Responsive to receiving user input of a new first text string, the first module may be updated with the new first text string, and a second screenshot of the GUI screen may be provided including the new first text string from first module and the original second text string from the second module. A second resource file may then be provided including the new first text string.
