A method for personalizing resource strings within a user interface of a computing device. The method includes accessing a personalization editor via the computing device, and receiving a user modification to a resource string associated with one or more applications. The method also includes storing an original unmodified resource string associated with the resource string, the modified resource string, and the associated applications. The method also includes receiving a request from a first application for a first resource string associated with a specified resource identifier. The method also includes determining if the first resource string has an associated modified resource string stored in the personalized resource string database, and displaying the modified resource string based on the first resource string being determined to be associated with the modified resource string stored in the personalized resource string database.

Personalization of resource strings in a computing device

In a device for de-duplicating localized resources including a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of accessing, from a data storage, a source resource package and a localized resource package containing first and second resources, respectively; filtering the localized resource package to identify the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources; creating, based on the first resources, a language-neutral resource collection including a plurality of language-neutral resources; creating a localized resource collection including the second resources that are not duplicates of the first resources; and creating a deployment resource package containing the language-neutral and localized resource collections.
