Extraire extract text from illustrator for translation, and then replace with translated text

I am trying to find a way to speed up the translation of our designs.  Each drawing has a series of legends indicating what's this piece of the drawing by the text.  I would need to do hundreds of drawings for each book.

Issues related to the:

1. can I write something to a batch file and extract the file name and the text of each textbox so that when I get back translation, I can automate the reintegration of the text translated to its appropriate field (i.e. TextField1 = 'Translate' and then fill in the exact field even with 'Translation')?  For that, I think that each text field should be marked with a unique identifier so that it know what translation goes where in the drawing.  Don't forget, I'm ok with marking manually each textbox if necessary.

2. assuming that the above is possible, what would be the best program to write the extracted text so that reading and writing the text translated again in the drawing is as easy as possible (Word, Excel, PDF)?

Scripting is not necessary, but it could be used, let's say has a decorative 100 pices of text all in English, you select one at a time and make dynamic (variable1, variable2... do variable100). Once you have all your variables, you capture a data set, this set of data (an xml file, like BilingualText.xml), then likely the xml to include your translated text and import export Illustrator. Now, you will be abel to switch between English and the translation.

or if you don't need to switch between languages, simply export the file something like English.xml, then have it translated and saved as Spanish.xml for example and load the file each time its needed.
