Message Class and Description

  • Base Messages: These messages include names that start with E= (error), I= (informational), Q= (question, as a multi-button prompt) or W= (warning). The translatable text of a base message con contain substitution placeholders, where literal values or other translated text can be inserted into the constructed message at run-time.
  • Text Strings: These messages include names that start with @!. Text strings are any string of translated text where the name does not map to a specific object.
