Modified files

The mapping between the properties files is registred in the Text Provider Service. Per default the files are:

• <your app>.shared/resources/text/Texts.properties (default languages)
• <your app>.shared/resources/text/Texts_de.properties for german
• <your app>.shared/resources/text/Texts_fr.properties for french
• and so on for other langages
