nsIStringBundleOverride

Provides the string bundle override service; this interface is an implementation detail. You should never need to use it directly.
Inherits from: nsISupports Last changed in Gecko 1.7

Implemented by: @mozilla.org/intl/stringbundle/text-override;1. To create an instance, use:

var stringBundleService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/intl/stringbundle/text-override;1"]
                                    .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIStringBundleOverride);
Note: You should never need to use this service directly. Instead, the string bundle service will automatically try to load this service. If there is no custom-strings.txt file then the service will fail to load.
