Create a translation source. It's the last node in the project tree.

There's also the SpeechCenter editor plugin, which allows you more control over the export, and formats it nicer for human readability.

Heyas

Ok i managed to get the translation file extracted, but I am terribly confused, it seems to have added in other things like non-dialog things, and also there are no name prefixes to any of the dialog, I have no clue who is saying what.
I am not 100% sure but the list also seems to have exported in some total random way with respect to the sequential order of when these dialogs take place


i think i will have to look in the SpeechCenter idea

Or you can create a speech file, though you might want to do a backup before you go this way.

The order of the text lines are wrote in the order they appear in script, the translation file takes all texts, including gui texts, hotspots, etc.

heyas..

i had a go of SpeechCenter editor plugin . and it was pretty dam good.. even exported to neat html files including name prefix..  the export was a bit messy in terms of sequence of dialogs happening, but in general it dose a fine job for what I wanted it for.
