Multilingual build integration for compiled applications is described in which support for application localization of compiled programming languages is provided as an integrated component of a development environment. Localizations integrate with application builds in the development environment so that updates are synchronized with project resources for multiple languages. This involves producing translation target files (e.g., localization files) for one or more selected languages by parsing and interpreting source files for the project to identify resources for translation. Localization files in the project that have been updated may be exposed in various ways for translation via the system, a translation service, or other translation source. Translated localization files are used to create dynamic resource files for the particular programming language that are compiled as part of the build process into language specific resource files. Compiled language specific resource files for multiple languages may then be packaged together for distribution.

Aspects of the present invention are directed at obtaining user feedback and causing a package of content updates to be created and distributed based on the received feedback. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for creating a package that contains one or more content updates configured to change the content that is displayed by default when a program executes. More specifically, the method includes obtaining input that describes one or more content updates. In this regard, the input received may include the user-defined content that will be displayed when the program executes and the identity of the content displayed by default. Then, the method assembles selected content updates into a package that is suitable for transmission over a network connection. When the package is assembled, processing is provided that allows the content updates in the package to be implemented on a remote computing device.

As a user interacts with a program, an object may be presented that, when invoked, allows the user to provide feedback about content encountered when using a program. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that collects feedback from the user at a centralized computer system. The method includes allowing a user to generate an event in order to provide feedback while using a program. In response to the event being generated, the method collects a set of data that includes (1) contextual data from which the source of the content may be identified; (2) the identity of the content selected by the user; and (3) user generated feedback that describes an issue with the content. Then, the set of data is communicated from a computer associated with the user to a centralized computer system.

A user interface and associated methods for machine aided authoring and translation is provided. The user interface can display strings and associated metadata to assist with authoring and translations. The metadata can be used to mark the strings. The metadata can include one or more constraints which correspond to evaluation criteria and one or more anchor points operable to project the constraints against a string.

Generally described, aspects of the present invention are directed toward providing available source data and localized information to a user. More specifically, a source string is obtained and used to retrieve a corresponding set of available source data. The source data can include available resources or available content. Further, the resources can correspond to strings. An element from the set of available source data can be selected and used to obtain data associated with the selected element. The associated data can include localized information corresponding to the selection of source data. Thus, available source data and corresponding localized information can be obtained and used in an application or document.

Integrated application localization techniques are described in which support for application localization is provided as an integrated component of a development environment. Localizations for selected languages/locales integrate with application builds in the development environment so that updates are synchronized with project resources for multiple languages. This involves creating and employing localization files corresponding to source content of a project using a designated file format suitable to enable translations. Localization files that are created in the designated format may be exposed in various ways for translation via the system, a developer, a translation service, or other selected translation sources. A single multilingual resource file for an application is then generated to contain resources in multiple languages based on translations made available through the translation sources.

Resource tracker techniques are described in which resource trackers may be generated, assigned to resources, and used to track resources throughout a development environment. The resource trackers may be configured in a designated format that is suitable to distinguish different resources one from one another. In one approach, resource trackers are derived as a combination of a user-supplied project identifier and defined resource identifiers. Resource trackers may be embedded into code defining corresponding resources and exposed to identify resources in connection with various development operations. In an embodiment, the resources trackers may be employed to provide visual indications of resources that appear within a user-interface for a project that is output for testing. A developer may identify resources based on resource trackers exposed via the user-interface and navigate back to underlying code in various ways to address any issues identified through the testing.
