Processes the string.

This function actually processes the string, stores it in the string property and then returns it. You will notice that this function is VERY similar to the get_string method. That is because it is pretty much doing the same thing. However as this function is an upgrade it isn't as tolerant to backwards compatibility.

Return values

string

$lang = null
