Borrowed Strings and User-Defined Strings

See Also

Application Strings can be classified into two types: the strings borrowed from USoft Developer and the strings defined for your application.

There are some texts which you have not explicitly defined in the repository, but are still displayed in your application. These texts are the application strings that have been borrowed from USoft Developer. For example, most of the menu texts in your default application are borrowed strings.

Strings defined for your application are all the other application strings, which have been explicitly defined in the repository of your application. For example, almost all the window prompts belong to this type.

These two types of application strings are stored in separate flat files. If you open your file manager and go to the APP subdirectory of your USoft installation directory, you will see a series of flat files there:

In this case, the files "my_application.<con/esi/ext>" contain the application strings defined for the application "my_application". Other files with the extensions "con", "esi", and "ext" contain the application strings of USoft Developer. The borrowed strings are read from these files.
