4 Introduction to Resource Files
text information is contained in separate
language files. There is one language file for
every language your resource file set supports.
When a language file is translated, the
references contained in the network variable
types, configuration property types, and
functional profiles still point to the appropriate
strings. The file extension of each language file
depends on the language. The standard
language extensions are listed in Appendix A,
Language File Extensions.
Formats Each network variable and configuration
property type must have at least one format
defined. This format describes how the value
will be displayed to or entered by network
integrators and network operators. It is possible
to define multiple formats for a network variable
type or configuration property type. Different
formats can provide the information in a
different order (if the value is a structure or
union) or provide a different scaling factor (for
example, the SNVT_temp_f network variable
type has three formats, one for Fahrenheit, one
for differential Fahrenheit, and one for Celsius).
Formats are defined in format files with an
“.fmt” extension.
