Languages & translation
Hand off to translators
Choose the target language in Localization. Export CSV for that language or an Excel workbook for selected languages. Include context and style guidance. Translators edit translations and intended status fields; preserve IDs, source texts, fingerprints and placeholders. Example: do not rename {name} to {Name}.
Review before importing
Import the returned file into VNLE. Review the preview: do not blindly accept stale source bases, conflicting changes, unknown IDs or invalid placeholders. Save a checkpoint and resolve conflicts explicitly. Test the language in preview and export the story again.
At runtime
The engine loads the included language data or an equivalent index and resolves text by ID. Switching languages must not reset progress. Remove a translation in a test: source text must appear. Also test intentionally blank translations and placeholders.
