What Are Dictionary Keys?
Dictionary keys are identifiers that map to specific values in a database or code structure. They act as labels for information or actions, enabling platforms to function smoothly. For example, a key like login may map to the text "Log in to your account" displayed on a website or app. In the case of Eshop platforms, these keys are translated into 7 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian, Turkmen, and another). This multilingual approach ensures a seamless user experience across diverse regions and languages
