I use it as preamble for entire text in the mods …
E.g. see here: http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?p=390962#post390962 - #66 to #70!
In Grim Dawn, priority is always given to a translation zip text.
Explains with NCFF.
If a game is started only in the state which installed MOD, the mastery of NCFF will be displayed as blank. This is because priority is given to a translation text and the text of MOD is canceled. Then, I have to add the text added by NCFF to translation zip.
Fortunately, at NCFF, new mastery, skill and affix are only added and there is no change of the existing text. So the portion will be reflected if only the text added newly is put into translation zip. Therefore, even if it removes MOD, I can play ordinarily. So this is easy-to-use and easy to translate MOD.
Like Cornucopia, MOD by which the existing text is changed is troublesome.
In cornucopia, tags_skills.txt is changed a little. In this case, by default, the original text is only displayed. In order to display the text of MOD, I retranslate tags_skills.txt and have to replace it. In this case, even if it adds only the changed portion as tag_coornucopia.txt, it does not function. I have to replace tags_skills.txt, when playing the original version. This is time and effort a little. It is such meanings that I wrote.
Thanks for the explanation.
So what do you need us to do? We need to modify tags_skills.txt (for example) in order to get our mod working correctly outside of localizations.
I have no idea. 
In MOD of the kind by which the existing text was changed (e.g. Cornucopia, Grim Quest), I think that I cannot but exchange texts.
However, probably, FOE has some good ideas.
Hello,
@Matougi
Yes, thank for your explanation.
@Ceno
I have no idea at the moment.
But I think it’s enough when we have all texts available.
FOE, how did you translate the Grim Quest? I was able to pack three texts into one.
I think that I obtained the hint while looking at the text of Grim Quest some time ago. Now, I asked Ceno about the thing.
If it goes well, all the translations will become easy.
It’s WIP … and I have not test the new version yet. :eek:
Nice to read.
Sounds nice.
Then, try this.
While having translated the texts of MOD, I noticed one thing. Most MOD has two or more text files, but can gather up all of them to one file. The file of that purpose is available optionally.
In Grim Quest, the file of the name different from original is only “classnamestags.txt.” So, I packed all the texts into the file. If this is added to translation zip, MOD texts will be displayed correctly.
^^ Thanks for that! 
Collection of lines added/altered for Cornucopia.
Edit: We’ll be including this file with each release of Cornucopia and updating it accordingly.
Thanks a lot! It became easy to translate in this very much. 
I’ll translate based on this and will introduce the cornucopia to our JP Wiki after update.
Hello,
Based on my question/request one more please!
According to this …
… please name your files correspondingly!
An example see here.
So we can take these files once 1:1 for our translation file (into the .zip file) and we have no collision, to other mods or original files.
here is the mess DAIL is using
sorry ;\
keep in mind the file names might be similar to the original mods but none of these files are “intact” they have all been fondled in some way
^^ Thanks!
LOL, your huge MOD is our policy objective. But, we have to translate each MOD before that. If there are they, we can reduce the portion which should be translated in your MOD.
The text of the same name as a formal game like “tags_items.txt” or “tags_skills.txt” or " tags_ui.txt" etc. is most trouble for us. Moreover, since “tags.txt” is not understood in the text of what MOD, this is not good, either. These must be the names of the MOD.
Anyhow, it is not good to correct the contents by the existing text name at all. Only the text portion required for correction should be built in the text which attached the name of MOD.
As an illustration, the button where your MOD should serve as “Game Guide” is displayed as “Updates”. This is one of the parts changed by the latest updating of GD. If DAIL MOD is built only in the texts of the MODs, such a mistake will not arise.
this is not going to work for some tags as they exist in those already and are used over the ones declared inside another tag_mod_x.txt
this applies to classes and faction and most likely more. So if we dont use the tagClassX=FancyClassName inside the tags_skills.txt it will use the one Crate declared which is either empty or ?.
A text name exists for the facilities of management and ID (e.g. tagSkillClassName=xx) in it is actually important. Therefore, it is not necessary to describe the text of MOD in the existing text. Actually, most MODs are built only in the text of the MOD name.
For example, Coronus MOD is not described in “tags_skills.txt”, but is built only in the text of the special name of “ClassCoronusTags.txt” etc., and a class name is displayed exactly.
And localization of a game is performed only by letting a translation file (Grim Dawn\localization\community_xx.zip) pass. When two or more MOD of all writes the class name of each MOD to “tags_skills.txt”, whenever we change MOD, we have to change a translation file. When MOD is built in the text of the name of itself, we should just add it to translation ZIP and don’t need to exchange a translation file. I explained this before.
k, so apparently it works if the file is alphabetically before the “core” tags.
it did not work with tags_wanez_skills.txt but it does if I make it tags_a.txt, well Im gonna try to move my faction tags to something else before tags_ui.txt and see if that works aswell.
Every mod should use their own tag file regardless of how easy it would make it to edit locals. Makes merging with other mods alot easier if the merger doesnt need to check for changes in files used by multiple mods.
and I saw you explained it, I also know how it works, I am doing my research before posting 
it just didnt work for my files
and while most tag variables can be changed, some are hardcoded and I had to place those into the core tag.txt otherwise they wouldnt work, now I have to figure out how to name the file
got it… will update my tag files to remove the useless duplicated main game tags
It’s very strange. However, you don’t need to spend many hours on the thing. Fortunately, there are some texts of the MOD name in your MOD. When MOD has some texts, we are enough to translate if one of them is a name of MOD at least. When all the texts in Tex_EN.arc are brought together in it, translation will be displayed exactly.
Please concentrate you on completing your phenomenal MOD. Thank you for caring about our request.
Your MOD is a colossal task. I would like to catch up with your MOD speedily. :rolleyes:
