Overriding Resources

Hi,

I would like to do a kind of multi inheritance for resources and have no clue how this could be possible:

I have some resource strings which are only for certain devices. Nevertheless, I want to include different languages for those strings as well, but in the language directories there are already strings which are common over all devices. Is there any design pattern I could use?

Haven't tried this myself, but I think the Programmer's Guide covers this use case.

Localization qualifiers are a way to specify language-specific string resources, and are specified as an ISO 639–2 language code. These qualifiers may be combined with either device or family qualifiers, and are always specified last in the qualifier naming scheme. For example:

resources-fre: Provides French language-specific string resources for all devices
resources-round-fre: Provides French language-specific string resources for round devices only
resources-fenix5s-fre: Provides French language-specific string resources for fēnix 5 devices only
