## Usage

How to edit localizations in the program:

- **Gather** and **Compile** translations in Unreal Engine 4

- Open `*.manifest` file from `[YOUR_PROJECT]\Content\Localization\Game`

- All `*.archive` files will be loaded automaticaly

- Start editing. Press **[Ctrl]+[Enter]** to apply changes.

- Save to `*.manifest` file. All `*.archive` files will be saved automaticaly.

- **Gather** and **Compile** translations in Unreal Engine 4 again.

- Enjoy :)

This program also allows exporting to Microsoft Excel, as well as reimporting back from it. Here's how to do it:

- Open `*.manifest` file.

- Press `File -> Export...` and program will create an Excel file. 

- You will get a single sheet document similar to this one:

    ![Excel](ReadmeImages/Excel.png "Excel Document")

- Untranslated cells will be highlighted in red. This allows the translator to find them quickly.

- You can edit the document up until the line that says: **--== !!! DO NOT TRANSLATE THE TEXT BELOW !!! == SERVICE DATA ==--**

- You can sort rows any way you like, but before reimporting you need to re-sort them by the first column.

- When you are ready to reimport, start the program and select `File -> Import`.

- Select `File -> Save As...` and save to your `*.manifest` file.

- Don't forget to **Gather** and **Compile** translations in Unreal Engine 4 again.
