[57] ABSTRACT
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for extracting translatable material or Machine Readable Information (MRI) from browser program function codes in a computer system. A browser window is partitioned into frames. The browser window frames include a parent frame. A plurality of variables are created in the parent frame. Each of the plurality of variables defines an MRI string. Then the variables are used in the browser program function codes for displaying MRI.
