Localization Properties File

This is an example of the localization properties file.

The localization properties file is encoded in standard ASCII. All non-ASCII character values from the device application file are converted to escaped Unicode hexadecimal values before they are written to the properties files. The resource keys in the properties file are grouped into four sections:

Global – anything that is global in the device application file. Currently, the ribbon name and platform-specific properties.
Flow – the flow of the screens.
Screen – the screens contains widgets, menu items, and actions.
Meta – metadata information such as variables, images, styles, connection profiles, the synchronization progress message, and mobile business objects.

Examples

Ribbon name – The resource key for the ribbon name must be defined as ribbon_name:
```
ribbon_name=myBob
```
Alerts – Currently only alerts in flows contain localizable strings. Resource keys for an alert can be defined as {ConnectionType}.{sourceScreen}.{targetScreen}.{connectionSubType}.{attrName}. For example, the OK label of an information alert from screen 1 to screen 2 looks like:
```
ALERT.Screen.1.Screen.2.INFO.ok_label
```
Screen widgets – Resource keys for screen widgets can be defined as {screen}.{widget}.{attributeName}. For example, a button with the ID of 1 in screen 1 looks like:
```
Screen.1.Button.1.name
```
Stock properties – For stock properties, the keys look similar to:
```
{screen}.StockProperties.{stockProperty} .{attributeName }
```
Labels – The resource key for the About screen close menu label can be defined as:
```
Screen.1.StockProperties.{platformid}.ABOUT_SCREEN_CLOSE_MENU_LABEL.value
```

Menus – Resource keys for menus can be defined like this:

{screen}.{menuItem}.{attributeName }  e.g. Screen.1.Menu.2.name

Variables – Resource keys for variables are formatted as {variable}.{attributeName}, for example:
```
VariableReferences.1.display_name, VariableReferences.1.description
```
