foreign language UI

[scramasax]

I saw yesterday when trying to modify a UI that some of the text are not coming from the XML file. In the localized version there is a directory of the type everquest2/LP_REGION_EN_US/local where the LP_REGION_EN_US is substituted with your language version. This directory has some translation file inside.

Some of the file are text without boundary and some seems to be the boundary list for the text file. It is more a database type file than a text file that we are used to like an xml file or a text file with line like variable=value


If I copy some file from the default interface to a modified UI directory this translation is not working anymore. Just trying to modify the text of a button cause trouble.

Does some of you have read somewhere how to deal with this local directory? In the localized version there is a lot of button with the translated text too long for the button size and I cannot even change the text without having window that do not appear anymore. I was able to change the xp bar because there is no local text on it
