String Tables

A string table stores string identifiers, values, and comments for a single language. Using identifiers from the string tables, which can be exported to text files and translated into additional languages, instead of hard-coded strings helps you globalize your setup.

When you open any new project, you will see a string table for each language you have selected. InstallShield provides all of the default string table entries necessary for the standard end-user dialogs and other user interface elements. Each one begins with IDS_.
