String names, naming conventions
Mongoose uses these naming conventions for translatable string objects:
String names that begin with the letter: | Are used for this purpose: |
---|---|
s | Primarily for Static components and component captions (labels). When in doubt, use this prefix. |
f | Form captions. These strings appear in the title bar of forms in the Classic view and in the form tab in the Tabbed UI view. |
m | Message strings. These strings to form and display user messages, for errors, for successful operation, etc. These strings can contain substitution markers. |
h | Help strings. These strings do not apply to the online help, but rather to the popup help tips that you see when the mouse hovers over a component or toolbar icon. |
p | Property name strings. These string names are primarily intended for substitution in message strings via the %p syntax in the message. However, they can also be used as captions on form components. |
o | Object property name strings. |
We recommend using these same naming conventions when creating your own captions, message strings, etc.
