+<p>In the Symbian platform, <xref href="GUID-5F749184-C804-41FC-BA81-038783BDC967.dita">resource</xref> files
+are used to define UI components such as status panes, <xref href="GUID-A4F3738C-CBFD-4151-9132-26FE05966715.dita">CBA
+(Control Button Area) buttons</xref>, <xref href="GUID-5918ED8A-B26B-41A0-94A6-AB6D51BF80A1.dita">menu
+bars</xref>, <xref href="GUID-DAC32BB9-C0EB-42FF-A596-C2F1A90A4BD7.dita">views</xref>,
+dialogs, strings, and constants used in applications. The UI components consist
+of data structures that are defined in resource files, and then are called
+from the classes controlling the UI implementation. When UI component implementation
+is split into these two approaches, it means that resources can be recompiled,
+for example for new languages, without having to recompile the application
+code (unless you change the resource identifiers).</p>
