Understanding localized strings

Localized strings provide a means of writing applications in which the text of strings can be customized on site. This feature can be used to implement internationalization in your application, or to use site-specific text (for example, when business terms change based on territory).

This string localization feature is independent from any language specification; It is a simple way to define external string resource files which the runtime system can search, in order to assign text to elements displayed by programs. The texts are loaded at runtime in the p-code modules ( .42m ), in the compiled form ( .42f ), and in any XML resource files loaded in the abstract user interface tree ( .4ad , .4st , .4tb , etc).
