StringEntry

Description

Represents a localized string entry that stores a single text value with no variants.

This is the built-in IStringEntry kind, holding one locale's text for a key. Add one to a table with ResourceTable.AddStringEntry, which also registers the key in the shared data, or construct one for an existing key id and add it with ResourceTable.AddEntry. Whether the value is treated as a Smart String is a per-key flag on the SharedTableData, not on the entry.
