About string files
Contents
Parts of user interface labels and names are defined in a series of string files.
GN4 strings have two purposes:
•To give a human-readable names to the system objects
Example: the object name is keywordSet, but you want it to appear in the user interface as Keyword Set. Then, you will use the following string remapping in the BaseString.en.xml file:
<StringDesc Scope="ObjTypeCaption" Name="keywordSet" Value="Keyword set" />
Default names remapping is available in the BaseString.en.xml, and GN4STRING.EN.XML.
•To translate, in another language, object and attribute names, and some user interface elements.
Example: the object name is keywordSet, but you want it to appear in the user interface as Parole chiave. Then, you will use the following string remapping in the BaseString.it.xml file:
<StringDesc Language="it" Scope="ObjTypeCaption" Name="keywordSet" Value="Parole chiave" />
