Translation

Go to our translations website.

The translation strings contain service words and symbols. Those must be copied as-is.

Possible service words:

dialogNNN

• HERO:, OTHER:, P#OTHER:, P#P#OTHER:, P#HERO:, OTHER2: etc. Those designate the speaker and must be present at the beginning of the string.
• $1-$19 – dialog tree variants. Must be at the beginning of the string.
• #E2#X0, #E7#E8#B0 etc, starting with #. Those are special symbols for branching in dialog trees. Present at end of the string. Sometimes they're the only part of the string.
• '|' . A newline symbol. Use for extra long string to ensure the breaks are in the designated place.

Rest of the files

• '|', '*' and '+' – special symbols, pause, pause and newline respectively. Need to stay at the line where they are.
