The processing circuitry configures a client device to obtain the configuration information and localization information associated with the software application. The processing circuitry generates instructions configured to cause the client device to generate a first string value for the first string based on the first identifier and the localization information and generate a second string value for the second string based on the second identifier and the localization information. The processing circuitry outputs the instructions to the client device to render a graphical user interface based, at least in part, on the first string value and the second string value.",
