Strings
Strings are sequences of characters used in software and localization to represent text, such as words, sentences, or entire paragraphs.
In the context of software development and translation, strings are essential for ensuring that the user interface and other textual content can be easily translated and adapted to different languages and regions.
Strings are often stored in resource files and referenced by unique keys in the code. This approach allows for easy updates and modifications without altering the underlying program logic.
📝 Basic points about strings: #️⃣
- Storage: Strings are typically stored in resource files, such as JSON, XML, or PO files, making it easier to manage translations.
- Translation: They are the primary units translated into different languages during the localization process.
