based on the review, revert update of the translated file to the mobile application.

11 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor further executes the program code to:

identify a mobile platform specific file in the mobile application.

12 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor further executes the program code to:

call a mobile platform specific converter API to convert the localizable file to the to-be-translated file in the translatable format.

13 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor further executes the program code to:

call a file system transport protocol API to forward the to-be-translated file to the translation system.

14 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the processor further executes the program code to:

retrieve the metadata file from the mobile application;

forward the metadata file to the translation system;

from the translation system, retrieve a translated metadata file that includes translation of the metadata file; and

update the mobile application with the retrieved translated metadata file.

15 . An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium to tangibly store instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

identify a localizable file, in the mobile application to be translated;

retrieve the localizable file from the mobile application;

convert the localizable file, in a mobile platform specific format, to a to-be-translated file in a translatable format;

forward the to-be-translated file to a translation system for translating;

from the translation system, retrieve a translated file that includes translation of the to-be-translated file; and

update the mobile application with the retrieved translated file.

16 . The article of manufacture according to claim 15 , further comprising instructions which when executed by the computer further causes the computer to:

convert the translated file to a mobile platform specific translated file; and

update the mobile application with the mobile platform specific translated file.

17 . The article of manufacture according to claim 16 , further comprising instructions which when executed by the computer further causes the computer to:
