Phone menu items

Some menu items displayed by Go Bible are not part of the Go Bible UI per se. Examples are the words Menu, Edit,More & Select, which are part of the phone menu. Such items appear when Go Bible accesses an existing phone feature. These items would usually change when the phone language is changed.

Localization

For localization, the developer should translate the strings after the colon for each UI-property. Do not alter the identifying names of any UI-property.

The order of these UI-properties does not matter, so it's quite acceptable to use a sorted copy.

The UI translation should be Unicode text encoded as UTF-8 (without BOM). Use a suitable text editor.

To use a UI translation with Go Bible Creator, simply include these lines within your collections text file.
