FAQPage Schema
How do I extract user-visible text for software localization?▼

To extract user-visible text for software localization, use an automated tool that scans frontend and backend source files to identify translatable strings and generate target-language i18n term tables.

What is the best way to automate i18n text extraction from source code?▼

The best way to automate i18n text extraction from source code is by running a script that processes your project files based on predefined i18n rules and language catalogs, outputting structured translation tables for efficient localization.

Do I need an i18n project profile to extract translatable strings?▼

Yes, you need an i18n project profile, i18n rules, and a language catalog to effectively extract translatable strings. These inputs guide the extraction process to correctly identify and map user-visible text.

Can I extract strings from both frontend and backend program files?▼

Yes, you can extract strings from both frontend and backend program files. The extraction process is designed to handle user-visible source-language text across various system layers for comprehensive internationalization.

How do I generate a translation table from extracted source-language text?▼

You generate a translation table from extracted source-language text by running an extraction process that parses your program files and outputs the identified strings into a structured target-language i18n term table format.

What are the limitations of automated source code text extraction?▼

The limitations of automated source code text extraction include its dependency on predefined i18n rules, an accurate i18n project profile, and a language catalog to function properly. Without these inputs, the extraction may not correctly identify all user-visible text.
