Translated String Table Explorer

The Translated String Table explorer shows translated string tables in their respective project and folder as they appear in the Data folder.

Translated String Table Editor

_{The translated string table editor}

The Translated String Table editor allows you to edit opened translated string tables.

The table has the following columns:

• Header (allows you to select/delete whole rows)
• Key (the key used to access the translated string)
• Content (the value of the translated string)
• Speaker
• ExtraData
• The [...] button (opens up a multiline edit dialog to edit the translated string's content)

The Find Dialog

_{The Translated String Key Editor's Find Dialog}

The Find dialog allows you to search all translated string tables for translated strings by key or by content.

The find dialog consists of the following components:

• The Find textbox (the string to search for)
• Key/Value radiobox

  Key: search translated strings by key

  Value: search translated strings by content

• Match Case: whether the search is case-sensitive
• Split on space: allows you to search by multiple space-seperated strings
• Stop at first: search stops after a match is found

Find Results

_{The find results section}

The find results section shows the results from a search query executed by the Find Dialog.

The table has the following columns:

• Found Key (the key of a found translated string)
• Found Item (the content of a found translated string)
• File (the file path of a found translated string)

The View Panel

_{The TranslatedStringKeyViewPanel}

The view panel (View > View panel) shows the string as it will show up in game and with correct HTML markup.

The panel also allows you to select the gender of the speaker and the gender of the addressed, as the string can sometimes differ.
