String Names, Naming Conventions

Mongoose uses these naming conventions for translatable string objects:

String names that begin with the letter:	Are used for this purpose:
s	Primarily for Static components and component captions (labels). When in doubt, use this prefix.
f	Form captions. These strings appear in the title bar of forms in the Classic view and in the form tab in the Tabbed UI view.
m	Message strings. These strings to form and display user messages, for errors, for successful operation, etc. These strings can contain substitution markers (see Message Strings).
h	Help strings. These strings do not apply to the online help, but rather to the popup help tips that you see when the mouse hovers over a component or toolbar icon.
p	Property name strings. These string names are primarily intended for substitution in message strings via the %p syntax in the message. However, they can also be used as captions on form components (see Message Strings).
o	Object property name strings. For more information, see Message Strings.

We recommend using these same naming conventions when creating your own captions, message strings, etc.
