Localization
Po creates and edits localization files (.feztxt.json) used to translate the game's text:
The game supports the following languages:
- English (default)
- French
- Italian
- German
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- Japanese
- Korean
- Chinese
The localization files are stored in the Resources/ folder:
GameText: Dialogue and gameplay textStaticText: Menus, prompts, and interface textCreditsText: Credits text
The game represents text internally using UTF-16, while .feztxt.json files store text as UTF-8-encoded JSON. See the FEZTXT format reference for the structure of localization data.
Layout
The toolbar has the following buttons, from left to right:
- Language Selector: Selects a language for translation.
- Add New Entry: Adds a new entry to the localization data.
The editor displays text strings in a table:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| ID | Stable identifier referenced by game content. |
| Source text | English text used as the translation source. |
| Translation text | Text for the language selected above the table. |
Each text row has a unique ID. Levels, scripts, NPC speech lines, and game services refer to these IDs to display text.
Editing Text
Click a table cell to open its menu, then choose Edit This Cell.
Editing behavior depends on the selected column:
- ID: Renames that ID in every language.
- Source text: Changes the English entry.
- Translation text: Changes the entry for the selected language.
Text can contain multiple lines. Accept the edit dialog to apply the change.
Renaming an ID does not update other assets that may refer to it. Update those references separately.
Adding and Removing Entries
Use Add New Entry above the table or from a cell's menu to create a text ID. The ID must be non-empty and must not already exist in the English language entries.
Choose Delete This Entry from a cell's menu to remove the ID from every language after confirmation.
Font Files
To edit the fonts used for localized text in the game, see the Sprite Fonts page.
