+<p>You need to register your applications in order to make them visible
+to the application menu and to provide other information to the underlying
+operating system. To register, you need to provide a registration resource
+file, typically named <parmname>&lt;application_name&gt;_reg.rss</parmname> that
+contains the non-localized information for your application. Examples of non-localized
+information include:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>UID of the application</p></li>
+<li><p>name of the application executable, without an extension</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>application properties, such as embeddability or whether
+it is hidden</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>For more information on how to create a registration file for the non-localized
+information for your application, see <xref href="GUID-BF1AAA0D-DF2F-4E1D-A0D2-F419BD32F97A.dita">Creating
+registration resource files</xref>. </p>
+<p>You also need to provide localized information for your applications,
+such as captions and icons. This is done by either including a name and path
+of a localizable icon and caption resource file or the symbolic ID of a <parmname>LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO</parmname> data
+structure in your application UI resource file. For a discussion of the available
+options for where you can place this resource statement, see <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/ToolsAndUtilities94/DevTools/RegFiles/Tool_Guide_LocalisableIconFile.html#Tool_Guide_LocalisableIconFile" format="application/java-archive">Localisable
+icon/caption definition files</xref>. </p>
+<p>You may define the following localized information:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>application caption, which is typically displayed next to
+the icon in the application menu</p></li>
+<li><p>short caption used by some mobile devices when screen space
+is limited</p></li>
+<li><p>name of the icon file</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>For more information on using the <parmname>LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO</parmname> data
+structure, see <xref href="GUID-9F90A2F0-9C76-4871-A766-D1AE0FC42C08.dita">Defining
+localizable registration information</xref></p>
+<note>
+<p>You must compile both the non-localized information registration resource
+file and the localized information resource file and include the results in
+your package file in order for your application to be registered in a mobile
+device.</p>
