The way the Message Manager is designed, if it can't find the specified value, it returns the key to you. In most cases (such as with label text) this works just fine. Also with MM .NET Framework-level messages, we've also taken the approach of making the key value the same as the original language text which ends up eliminating coding redundancies. For example, rather than using one text value for the key and another for the message, you can call the MM .NET Windows or Web Form GetMessage() method and it will return the text you pass it if localization is turned off or if the message is not foudn in the database.
