What is NLS_ mean and what it does?

I came across the NLS_ function being used in DOORS provided DXL Library accessible from DXL interaction window. I did not find it in DXL Refrence manual.

Can anybody explain what this is and why this is?

 

The usage I came across was


const string yesNo[ ] = {(NLS_("Yes")), (NLS_("No"))}

This syntax has been discussed in the forum before -- what would happen if you searched for it in this forum.

Yes I guess NLS_ is not a good keyword here. When I enter NLS_ on duckduckgo I come across this
