Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for automatically identifying unique language independent keys. A 'value search' is performed which provides a listing of values for a locale. Upon the user selecting a value in the listing, a 'key search' is performed to search for various language independent keys associated with the selected value. A second locale is suggested as well as a listing of values for the second locale that are the same in meaning as the value selected by the user for the first locale in order to narrow the number of language independent keys displayed in connection with the value selected for the first locale. Upon the user selecting a value for the second locale, a subsequent key search is performed on the language independent keys displayed in connection with the first value. A unique language independent key may be identified based on this subsequent key search.
