[HOWTO] How To: Localize Audio Files

[Tony Li]

The Dialogue System can handle localized voiceover. As a prerequisite, you may want to familiarize yourself with these general topics first:

• Localization: How to localize text and change the current language.
• Cutscene Sequences: How to play audio and use entrytags (including localized entrytags).
• Import/Export: How to export a voiceover script.

To set up localized voiceovers:

1. Export a voiceover script.

2. Record default language voiceover lines, and place them in Resources folders or asset bundles using the entrytag names specified in the voiceover script, such as Player_1_5.ogg.

3. Record additional language voiceover lines, and save them using the localized entrytag, such as Player_1_5_fr.ogg for French.

4. Configure Sequences and/or the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence to use entrytaglocal, such as:

• Default Sequence: AudioWait(entrytaglocal)

If you use a lipsync asset such as SALSA or LipSync Pro, use the corresponding command instead, such as:

• Default Sequence: SALSA(entrytaglocal)
