Resource Bundle

Definitions

1. A set of locale-specific files or objects containing translated strings, date formats, currency symbols, and other localized content, keyed by identifier so application code can retrieve the correct version for the user's locale at runtime. Java's ResourceBundle class and Android's res/values-* directories are canonical implementations.

   In plain English: A collection of translated text and locale-specific settings that lets an app show the right language and formatting for each user's country.

   Example: "The French resource bundle overrides greeting_text with 'Bonjour' — the app picks the right bundle based on Accept-Language."
