Description

Is a feature only available for non-retail PS3 models

Accesible from an icon at XMB category Settings [Settings] > [String Viewer]

His position in settings category is defined by the settings_order 0x13 in category_setting_plugin.sprx (In XMB is displayed as the last icon most at bottom of settings category)

The name of the icon is loaded from category_setting_plugin.rco

<Text name="msg_tool_string_viewer">String Viewer</Text>

The icon launches strviewer_plugin.sprx module

There are 4 "xml object pages" inside strviewer_plugin.rco that can be called from the .sprx (this samples are a reduced version with only his name and wich action is triggered when onInit):

<Page name="page_strviewer_lang"... onInit="event:native:/OnInitStrViewerLang"...
<Page name="page_strviewer_plugin"... onInit="event:native:/OnInitStrViewerPlugIn"...
<Page name="page_strviewer_id"... onInit="event:native:/OnInitStrViewerID"...
<Page name="page_strviewer"... onInit="event:native:/OnInitStrViewerDialog"...

String Viewer supports multilanguage. The page page_strviewer_lang contains a list of languages asociated with letter codes, see: Talk:Languages

Speculation

Maybe is posible to make visible the icon in some PS3 models by using a Button Combo
