And on Mac, you can find them here:

~/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/VERSION_CODE/Autodesk Fusion.app/Contents/Libraries/Neutron/StringTable

There is a folder for each language that Fusion supports, and the strings for that language are defined in files within that folder. Fusion will use the language specified by the user in their preferences.

"userInterface_var" is a variable referencing a UserInterface object.returnValue = userInterface_var.getText(module, id, defaultValue)
