Database merging

Post by Teshla »

Is there a blend-linke database merge rules? It seems that overwrite setting is a bit overzealous for me. Lets say we have a conversation line. It has fr and en languages. We export data for fr translation and send it off. Later we add ru to the primary database. After we get fr translations (lets call them frDatabase) we merge primary and frDatabase and the entirety of ru rows get deleted. So my question is there an option for blend/append like merge? If for exampe frDatabase has no ru fields, it doesn't overwrite them in primary database. Even better would be a selective merge wizard, where you individually check the fields that get overwritten.

Edit. At least a merge, where clashing data isn't overwritten would be required, to equalize the number of rows for databases that are about to be merged, so that a merge in csv could be performed

Hi,

That rule isn't currently available, but I can add it in the next release.

Devolver Digital and the guys who made Crossing Souls with the Dialogue System shared the custom localization editor window they developed. I'll work to get this included in the next release, too. It will make it much easier to import and export translations.
