Try the package developers documentation for internationalization/localization https://openacs.org/doc/i18n.html

Thanks dave,

nice read. I am aware how and when to use them

i am just curious why i havent found any file that loads all default messages up in the system. Like an SQL big file that inserts texts in the content repository

They are stored in XML files for each locale under /catalog in each package directory.

If you look under /acs-lang/admin you can find code that can automatically take litereal strings in Tcl and ADP files and turn them into message keys.
