Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing a panel to a device, the panel including a translatable portion that changes when code for the panel changes and a continuously dynamic portion that changes when code for the panel does not change, the panel being translated from a first language to a second language; producing an overlay from the panel using the device, the overlay comprising an ignorable shape corresponding to the continuously dynamic portion of the panel; applying the overlay to a first version of the panel using the device to block the continuously dynamic portion of the first version of the panel from a data-extraction procedure to produce a first iteration of the panel that isolates the translatable portion of the panel, such that the first iteration does not include the continuously dynamic portion; applying the overlay to a second version of the panel using the device to block the continuously dynamic portion of the second version of the panel from a data-extraction procedure to produce a second iteration of the panel that isolates the translatable portion of the panel, such that the second iteration does not include the continuously dynamic portion; comparing the translatable portions of the first and second iterations using the device; and determining whether the translatable portions of the first and second iterations are different using the device; wherein
