Many programmers and designers decide that if a particular string is used in many places, they will use copies of the same string rather than implement many identical strings. String reuse is not necessarily a bad thing. The trick is to know what constitutes a good candidate for reuse and what does not. If you get it wrong, you can be creating an insuperable obstacle to good localization.</p> <div class="admin"> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2006/03/30/re_using_strings_in_scripted_content/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> <div class="cats"> Tags: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/article-text-reuse/" rel="tag">article-text-reuse</a></strong> </div> <div class="cats">Categories: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/articles/" rel="category tag">Articles</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/highlight/" rel="category tag">Highlight</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/new-resource/" rel="category tag">New resource</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <?php// endif; ?>   <div class="previousnext"> </div> <hr /> <div class="smallprint" id="endMatter" style="font-size: 80%; text-align: center;"> <span class="copyright">Copyright 漏 2023 <a href="https://www.w3.org/">World Wide Web Consortium</a>.<br> <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr><sup>庐</sup> <a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/#disclaimers">liability</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/#trademarks">trademark</a> and <a rel="license" href="https://www.w3.org/copyright/document-license/" title="W3C Document License">permissive license</a> rules apply.</span><br /> Questions or comments? <a href="mailto:ishida@w3.org">ishida@w3.org</a> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.getElementById) { openIMG='/International/icons/open-thin.gif'; closeIMG='/International/icons/close-thin.gif'; initialhide('DIV', 'toc1'); } </script> </body> </html>
