Abstract

Verifying text translation in a program including obtaining a first program integrated information (PII) file and a second PII file of text in the program. An original page is generated by using the first PII file. Document object model (DOM) tree information of the original page is obtained. For each text unit in the original page: identification information corresponding to a first text unit in the first PII file is extracted; a second text unit is identified in the second PII file using the extracted identification information and a relationship between the identification information and the second text unit; and the first text unit is replaced in the DOM tree with the second text unit. A new page is generated using the text units from the second PII file.

Claims

1. A method for verifying text translation in a program, the method comprising:

obtaining a first program integrated information (PII) file and a second PII file of text in the program;

executing, on a processor, the program using the first PII file to generate an original page;

obtaining document object model (DOM) tree information of the original page;

for each text unit in the original page performing;

extracting identification information corresponding to a first text unit in the first PII file from the DOM tree information;

looking up in the second PII file, a second text unit corresponding to the first text unit, the second text unit identified in the second PII file using the extracted identification information and a correspondence relationship between the extracted identification information and the second text unit; and

replacing the first text unit in the DOM tree information with the second text unit; and

generating a new page with each of the text units in the original page replaced by corresponding text units in the second PII file.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first PII file is an original PII file, and the second PII file is a PII file translated from the original PII file.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

adding identification information to one or more text units in the first PII file; and

recording a correspondence relationship between the added identification information and the one or more text units in the first PII file.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second PII file is an original PII file, and the first PII file is a PII file translated from the original PII file.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the extracted identification information is not displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI), the GUI displaying one or more of the original page and the new page.

6. The method according to claim 1, each of the text units in the first PII file has unique identification information.

7. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

listening for node property changing information in the DOM tree information of the original page; and

updating the new page of the second PII file according to the node property changing information.

8. A system for verifying text translation in a program, the system comprising:

a processor configured for executing instructions to perform a method comprising;

obtaining a first program integrated information (PII) file and a second PII file of text in the program from a computer readable medium;

executing the program using the first PII file to generate an original page;

obtaining document object model (DOM) tree information of the original page;

for each text unit in the original page;

extracting identification information corresponding to a first text unit in the first PII file from the DOM tree information;

looking up in the second PII file, a second text unit corresponding to the first text unit, the second text unit identified in the second PII file using the extracted identification information and a correspondence relationship between the extracted identification information and the second text unit; and

replacing the first text unit in the DOM tree information with the second text unit; and

generating a new page with each of the text units in the original page replaced by corresponding text units in the second PII file.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein the first PII file is an original PII file, and the second PII file is a PII file translated from the original PII file.

10. The system according to claim 9, wherein the method further comprises:

adding identification information to one or more text units in the first PII file; and

recording a correspondence relationship between the added identification information and the one or more text units in the first PII file.

11. The system according to claim 8, wherein the second PII file is an original PII file, and the first PII file is a PII file translated from the original PII file.

12. The system according to claim 8, wherein the identification information is not displayed in a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying one or more of the original page and the new page.

13. The system according to claim 8, each of the text units in the first PII file has unique identification information.

14. The system according to claim 8, wherein method further comprises:

listening for node property changing information in the DOM tree information of the original page; and

updating the new page of the second PII file according to the node property changing information.

15. A computer program product for verifying text translation in a program, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising;

computer readable program code configured to;

obtain a first program integrated information (PII) file and a second PII file of text in the program from the non-transitory computer readable storage medium;

execute the program using the first PII file to generate an original page;

obtain document object model (DOM) tree information of the original page;

for each text unit in the original page;

extract identification information corresponding to a first text unit in the first PII file from the DOM tree information;

look up in the second PII file, a second text unit corresponding to the first text unit, the second text unit identified in the second PII file using the extracted identification information and a correspondence relationship between the extracted identification information and the second text unit; and

replace the first text unit in the DOM tree information with the second text unit; and

generate a new page with each of the text units in the original page replaced by corresponding text units in the second PII file.

16. The computer program product according to claim 15, wherein the first PII file is an original PII file, and the second PII file is a PII file translated from the original PII file.

17. The computer program product according to claim 16, wherein the computer readable program code is configured to:

add identification information to one or more text units in the first PII file; and

record a correspondence relationship between the added identification information and the one or more text units in the first PII file.

18. The computer program product according to claim 15, wherein the second PII file is an original PII file, and the first PII file is a PII file translated from the original PII file.

19. The computer program product according to claim 15, wherein the identification information is not displayed in a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying one or more of the original page and the new page.

20. The computer program product according to claim 15, wherein the computer readable program code is further configured to:

listen for node property changing information in the DOM tree information of the original page; and
