1.3.3 Localizable Human-Readable Event Descriptions and Other Strings

Implementations in applicable Windows Server releases are structured in such a way that event logs are language-neutral, and the localizable description strings are built from strings loaded from resource files. In this way, different users can view the same event log in their language of choice. The Windows client implementation (Windows Event Viewer) uses a series of algorithms and heuristics to derive localizable event log names, event description strings, and event category strings from the event record as expressed by the EVENTLOGRECORD structure.
