Export Text Tables into file

Post by Thistis »

Hello,

I just started to dig into the topic of localization. I would like to use the Dialog Manager for the localization of dialog and for UI elements/other text bits, I read in your documentation that Text Tables are a possible solution.

Like with the dialogs/quests, is it also possible to export a Text Table into a single file like csv? This would be especially handy if we would consider to hand the file to a translator.

All the best,
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,

To export to CSV, click the gear menu in the upper right, and select Export > CSV...:

After you specify a folder to save the CSV file(s), it will ask if you want to save a separate CSV for each language or put all of the languages in a single CSV file:

Glad to help! I should have mentioned that you can use the gear menu to also re-import, of course.
