Customizing strings displayed upon a mobile device without altering core software of the device

A method for presenting text upon a mobile device can include the step of establishing a string associative table within the mobile device. The string associative table can be remote from core software embedded within the mobile device. The string associative table can be searched for a request identifier that identifies text to be presented upon the mobile device. When the request identifier is found in the string associative table, a string within the string associative table corresponding to the request identifier can be identified and presented upon the mobile device as text. When the request identifier is not found in the string associative table, a string corresponding to the request identifier can be found within a core table and presented upon the mobile device as text.
