To provide a way for both the application developer and the end-user to internationalize the text of applications and dialog boxes, TestStand provides a resource string file mechanism for storing all the application text in a central location. You can change the strings the application displays by editing or creating .ini files in a text editor.

To add string support for the internationalization of the application, use the Engine.GetResourceString method to obtain the text for the windows and controls. You can add strings to an existing string file or create a new string file in the appropriate directory under the <TestStand Public>\Components\Language directory. Ensure that you create a unique category for the strings.
