Read the FB Help entry for 'stringlist'. Then try this demo.

[1] Run this:
'------------
include "ConsoleWindow"
stringlist on
print "What?"
stringlist
'------------

[2] From FBtoC's File menu, choose 'Generate Localizable.strings'.

[3] Drag the file "Localizable.strings" from build_temp to the enclosing (source) folder.

[4] Add a line to the demo program:
include resources "Localizable.strings"

[5] A run should still print "What?".

[6] Edit Localizable.strings, changing the line:
"What?" = "What?"; 
to:
"What?" = "¿Qué?";

[7] A run should show the changed text. 
The string literal in this line of code
   print "What?"
has been swizzled by the FBtoC runtime, via the file Localizable.strings.
