Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    Resource: IResourceObject;
    ResStrs: IResourceStrings;
    ResStrKey: Integer;
    Locales: IResourceLocales;
    Locale: IResourceLocale;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get resources
    Resource := mb.ItemById("APP_RESOURCE").Edit As IResourceObject;
    // Get resource string elements
    ResStrs := Resource.Strings;
    // Create a new string element
    ResStrKey := ResStrs.Add;
    // Get resource languages collection
    Locales := Resource.Locales;
    // Get default language
    Locale := Locales.DefaultLocale;
    // Get string elements for default language
    ResStrs := Locale.Strings;
    // Set string element value for default language
    ResStrs.ValueByKey(ResStrKey) := "Cancel";
    // Get translation language
    Locale := Locales.CurrentLocale;
    // Get string elements for translation language
    ResStrs := Locale.Strings;
    // Set string element value for translation language
    ResStrs.ValueByKey(ResStrKey) := "Cancel";
    // Save changes
    (Resource As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example a new string element is added to resources. Default language value and translation language value are set for it.
