1. A method for translation verification of source strings for controls in a target application graphical user interface (GUI), the method comprising: loading a target GUI for an application under test in a functional testing tool executing in memory by a processor of a computing system; retrieving different translated source strings in a target spoken language for respectively different control elements of the target GUI; determining a score for each one of the translated source strings; and, providing an alert in the functional testing tool for each translated source string corresponding to a determined score failing to meet a threshold value.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: translating source strings in a source spoken language into a target spoken language for respectively different control elements of a source GUI for the application under test using multiple different dictionaries; scoring each translated one of the source strings for goodness of translation based upon at least one scoring rule; and, storing each score in a match table in connection with a corresponding source string and a target spoken language.
