Enum LocaleString

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<LocaleString>

    public enum LocaleString
    extends java.lang.Enum<LocaleString>
    The LocaleString enum that hold strings in various languages. The strings are placed in predefined system text tables the predefined "builtin" project. When using these texts, they automatically search for these ID's defined in the user application's text tables that are flagged to also handle LocaleString's. This makes it possible to have custom text replacements and/or additional translations into other languages not provided in the system.

    Other text IDs are also present in:

    The ID for each entry is prepended with "sys." for the text tables. These are the defined texts:
