Rules of Precedence

The hierarchy of precedence for different Language.properties files is:

1. Language-ext.properties takes precedence over Language.properties.

2. Language-specific versions take precedence over the non language-specific versions. For example, Language_en.properties takes precedence over Language.properties.

3. Location-specific versions take precedence over the non location-specific versions. For example, Language_en_US.properties takes precedence over Language_en.properties.

For the Language.properties file for English, Language-ext_en_US.properties has the highest precedence and the Language.properties file has the least precedence. The hierarchy is:

1. Language-ext_en_US.properties

2. Language_en_US.properties

3. Language-ext_en.properties

4. Language_en.properties

5. Language-ext.properties

6. Language.properties
