New version 31a9 contains locale editor. It's accessible via "Localization"
menu item in admin interface
1. Choosing "Localization" menu item will open page to select "domain" to edit.
Domain is a set of string which belongs to one aspect of the game. Domain is
equivalent for language file with respect name
2. After selecting domain opens page for editing locale string. Opening of
large files and/or slow connection can take pretty much time. Please be patient
3. After editing locale string and confirming it editor will make files
"<domain name>.mo.new" in each language folder
4. When starting locale string editor files with ".mo.new" extension has
priority over ".mo" files. I.e. if in any folder exists both types of files
editor will load values from ".mo.new". This is made to make easier editing of
large files
5. If you want to use new locale strings you should change extension of
".mo.new" file to ".mo". Usually it will effectivly overwrite current locale
file - so you should make backup before this operation
6. WARNING!!! You should be very carefull when changing old locale files with
newly generated ones! Editor will resolve constant's IDs to their real values,
will not honor comments nor empty lines, will ignore extra PHP code in
lang-files - including substitution of values in infos.mo! As result simple
replacing old locale file with new one can somewhat cripple localization files!
For some files it may be necessary to make manual merge between old and new one
files!
