Private Files

Private databases can be used by applications to provide generic, customized databases for more than just localization text. Usually, such databases do contain text. It is recommended that if the database is to be spread out over many files, some run-time indirect access of localized text be provided. Without this access, localization for the average user is a difficult effort. Generally, such private file formats are discouraged by groups doing localization. But problems are reduced if a tool is provided specifically for localization of text only.
