- Pull the default Name/Descriptions strings for all of your game's available languages
[the localized strings will be the default ones for each, of the game's available languages]
(with both "copy English to all languages" & "Create missing string tables", in S3OC,tickboxes unticked) - Pull the english Name/Descriptions strings for all of your game's available languages
(with only "copy English to all languages", in S3OC,tickbox ticked) - same as #1, but the english strings will be used for the missing string tables
(with only "Create missing string tables", in S3OC, tickbox ticked) - same as #3, except the english strings will be used for all languages
(with both "copy English to all languages" & "Create missing string tables", in S3OC, tickboxes ticked)
if the above is all that you are wanting to do, then you probably would be better off using S3OC.
Whereas, this program copies all strings in a STBL entry, not just the Catalog Name/Desciption;
you can have more strings in there (i.e. strings for interaction text, etc, etc) and copying this to
multiple langauages [to ensure you object or text will show-up, CORRECTLY, when localized in a game
that you do not have strings for], is a big pain-in-the-backside.
This application just automates the process. With the latest version of STBL Duplicator you can select your default language by doing:
Code:
TS3.STBLDuplicator.exe --configure
You will see this dialog: (just select your language and click "use selected language" & confirm when asked)
You can use the STBL editor-plugin in the latest versions of the S3PE to add/change/delete
entries in the STBL (edit the language that you set as the default, for the STBL Duplicator, using this STBL editor mentioned above);
then when finished run my utility on the package file (assuming you set the appropriate default language) and those strings will be
automatically replicated to all other languages, for you - so that you won't have to manually copy them by-hand.
This is an example of the output from the utility:
