TRANSLATION PROCESS COMPONENT

A translation tool that facilitates translation of a software product into multiple target human languages without requiring recompilation of any binary deliverables. The translation tool is installed by an end user who wishes to translate the software product into the target human language. The end user does not need any programming knowledge. The translator tool extracts all the strings from various sources in the software product, and displays them on a UI to a translator or exports them to a spreadsheet file. The translator translates all the strings via the UI or by modifying the spreadsheet file and saves the translations. The translator tool uses an MSI utility to package the translated deliverables into an installer. The resulting set of install files are now in the target language and can be deployed without having to recompile any of the binary files (EXEs, DLLs) or other content not requiring translation.
