Example of an Exported, Unzipped Properties File

When you export an entity type, the export script first creates one or more .properties files with comments and content is in the <key>=<value> format, and then compresses them into one .zip file. For example, if you export request types that are defined in English, one of the .properties files that is created is named KCRT_REQUEST_TYPES_NLS_en.properties. When unzipped from the .zip file and opened in an editor, it could begin as follows (reformatted here for readability):
