Localized Strings allow you to customize the text displayed by your application, for internationalization or site-specific text.
The localizedStr property allows you to set localization for an individual widget or form item, where applicable. Setting the checkbox for localized strings to "True" will mark the related strings for localization.
Once the form definition is completed, you can use the gsform utility from the command line to generate a text file of the localized strings. For example:
gsform -m myform.4fd > myfile.str
The format of the file will be "string key" = "string text". You can copy the file and change the string text as needed for localization. Do not change the string key, as this is generated by Genero Studio.
The localized strings file must be added to a library node in your project in Project Manager, and the library linked to your application node. When the application is built, the localized string will be compiled and linked into your application.
See the topic on Localized Strings in the BDL User Guide.
