Localizing Item fields with import/export
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2022 4:24 pm
Hey Tony and everyone
I'm doing some research and planning for localization, and I believe I understand the overall process but the one thing I can't find is how/where the fields for Items and Locations are to be exported/imported for the translator.
(Note: I'm not using any 3rd party stuff like I2 Localization, and would just be using the "Database" tab -> Localization Export/Import. I am using version 2.2.13 and can update if anything has been changed)
For example, on my Item template I've added the "Description es" and "Display Name es" localization fields, but as far as I can tell they do not show up in the exported Dialogue_es.csv or the Quests_es.csv.
Is there a separate place for import/export CSV for the Items, Locations, etc?
Also, if I were to use a Text Table in order to localize UI stuff, what is the workflow for getting that translated? Is there any sort of import/export CSV workflow for that?
Basically TLDR of what I'm trying to do is to figure out what I am to supply our translators with, in order for them to translate the following:
1) Conversation dialogue (already solved with the Dialogue_es.csv export/import)
2) Fields on items, locations, etc - how to export/import that?
3) UI labels/etc - I see that there is the Text Table, but is there an export/import workflow for that?
Thanks a lot for the help, and apologies if this has been explained before, I've read the "Localization" section of the documentation and I also searched the forums, but didn't find this specifically.
Edit: Just wanted to add that I'm not at all against using I2 Localization or any other 3rd party stuff if that would help make the process easier! (Although Chat Mapper seemed a bit too expensive)
