Thanks. I knew that, for example in Java, they create Resource Bundles that decouple the text from the code, but was not aware that this text was independent of the build process -- could be external enough to be updated/corrected after the fact, without rebuilding.

Has anyone here encountered a scheme in which the constant strings, particularly the diagnostic messages, of a software product are separated from the software itself?


That's the aim of internationalization. It's a very common practice, and
you've most likely encountered a lot of software that use language DLLs
or otherwise extermalized strings. See

topic.
