Text strings from computer-based applications are converted from multiple external formats into an internal format. The text strings are stored in a terminology database. Translations for the test strings are also stored in the terminology database and associated with the corresponding text strings. In one aspect, text strings are converted into a export format for translation into one or more target languages. The translations are converted into the appropriate external formats and output to the applications that supplied the text strings. In another aspect, the terminology database is queried for an appropriate translation for each newly converted text string. In still another aspect, metadata for the text strings is created and associated with the text strings in the terminology database, and used as query criteria to determine the appropriate translation. The metadata may be exported in conjunction with the text strings.
