Localized Strings

Omni admin view of Localized Strings

Localized Strings contain shared Interface text that does not belong to a specific City Exhibit, Collection, Scenario, Raster, or Legend. They cover navigation labels, attraction mode, the information dialog, and the default text shown on surrounding Legend screens.

The current Interface expects particular keys but Omni does not create them automatically. Add every key used by your Interface build before testing a new installation.

Fields

After creating a new Localized String under Simstad > Localized strings in Omni Admin, add its details here.

FieldDescription
KeyIdentifier requested by the Interface. Enter it exactly as documented below.
Text (English/Swedish)Text returned for the selected Interface language. Adapt both versions to the installation.
