For this testing purpose Deckard (A web based glade runner) can be of 
some help. Manoj Giri earlier tried testing with Deckard after Dogtail 
got deprecated. I came to know about Deckard only after Runa gave a demo 
presentation about Deckard at Wikimedia language summit. Deckard will be 
really helpful for the above purpose as it dynamically displays the UI 
of the selected module in desired language. Moreover, the displayed UI 
can be used as a real UI which is better than a screenshot. The only 
shortcoming is that at one time only language can be selected i.e, there 
is no provision for selecting both source and target language. I wrote a 
mail to Deckard's developer requesting this feature change in reply to 
which he suggested me a simple workaround which can the serve the above 
purpose. An addon named split-panel needs to added to Firefox and two 
panel of the same page opens up in the browser window allowing us to 
display the UIs side by side in both English and native language. 
However, this instance of Deckard has only Gnome modules at present and 
there is no provision to add other projects to it. The developer says 
for other projects like LibreOffice, a separate instance of Deckard has 
to be created. Moreover, only the latest gnome modules are available for 
testing. There is no provision for selecting the older gnome versions. 
All these feature changes can be done and will take some time but for 
now I feel using the panel splitting method the testing purpose can be 
served.
