Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer-readable storage-medium embodiments for automatic discovery of translated text. An embodiment may include relating a user-interface (UI) output with a corresponding localization object in a code-base index and matching a first instance of a unique identifier with a second instance of the unique identifier. The first instance of the unique identifier may be located in a code base corresponding to the code-base index, and the second instance of the unique identifier may correspond to the UI output. The code base may be structured to comprise the unique identifier in a given context. Further operations may include retrieving a reference to the corresponding localization object of the UI output in response to a determination that the UI output is incorrect in the given context, and outputting the reference to the corresponding localization object.
The reference may be copied into a ticket of a tracking system.
