someone (not from proz) translated this as 'a whole string', not of something, simply 'string.'Doesn't sound right to me.

A \"string\" is a sequence of charachters (literally \"Zeichenfolge\").

\"String: A sequence of data values, usually bytes, which usually stand for characters (a \"character string\").\" (cf. http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/string)...
