CSV
The "Comma Separated Values" format allows for editing inside spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc. This workflow is very popular for translating games.
Exporting
By going to File/Export/CSV you can open the "Export to CSV" prompt.
Path
Path of where you want to save your csv file.
Create Categories
default: true
When enabled, the output .csv file will separate entries into labeled categories. It's recommended to keep this option enabled for easier readability.
Columns Order
default: id, display name, original translation, value, dynamic values
Order of different columns. You can click and drag individual elements to rearrange them.
Editing
You can open the .csv file in your preferred spreadsheet application.
Columns
Here's a detailed explanation of each column:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | The id used by sltm to recognize which row corresponds to which entry. |
| Display Name | Name of the entry that's typically displayed in the app. |
| Original Translation | Original value of the entry from the translation you're currently comparing. |
| Value | Value of the entry. |
| Dynamic Values | List of dynamic values available for the entry. These tags will be replaced by SCPSL with a different value. |
Importing
