Language Files (.lang)

---

Overview

---

.lang files are used for localization purposes. For every language there is a different set of files available. Each of these files contains a numbered string that is referenced from within code, GUIs or maps. Each string has to have a unique number so there are no conflicts when referenced. Language strings are simply referenced by typing "#str_20000" in the textfield. Replace 20000 with the intended string number.

Changes in different branchs

Doom 3 BFG Edition

• #font_ specify the font to be use in the sfw shell, not use in the old GUI system.
• BFG Edition does't uses hashes, instead it uses full names like #str_adil_exis_pda_01_audio_info

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

• Just like BFG Edition, ET:QW does't uses hashes, instead it uses full names like #str_adil_exis_pda_01_audio_info

Prey (2006)

• Prey situation its a bit funny, while it uses Doom 3 style hashes, they use the hashes before RoE expansion, meaning that any string introduced by RoE would NOT work here.
