		+	====Editing text localizations in supported languages====
		+	Text localizations of the game are saved in CSV format (Comma Separated Values), where columns are separated by ; and text is enclosed in "" and kept in UTF-8 coding.
		+
		+	Files of this format can be opened by many programs, but we recommend a spreadsheet editor such as Open Office Calc or Microsoft Office, or a formattable text editor such as Notepad++.
		+
		+	'''If the encoding is not properly set, the game WILL throw an error at start !'''
		+	<br>
		+	<br>
		+	Open the file config.blk in the game folder with Notepad++ (or similar), find the debug{ block (usually at the end) and insert '''testLocalization:b=yes'''
		+	like this:
		+	debug{
		+	...
		+	testLocalization:b=yes
		+	}
		+
		+	Launch the game, and a folder named ''lang'' will now appear in the game folder, containing game-generated localization *.csv files, as well as a localization.blk file.
		+
		+	Replace the localizations in the lang folder with your own or replace any string in the files to your custom text.
		+
		+	'''Ensure that you only edit the column for the language that your game is in'''
		+
		+	Restart the game, and your edited text should now be displayed.
		+
		+	====Adding a new language====
		+	If you want to add a new language to the game:
		+
		+	In the lang folder, open the file localization.blk with Notepad++.
		+
		+	Find the block text_translation{ and insert the new language '''lang:t="Newlanguage"'''
		+	text_translation{
		+	...
		+	lang:t="Newlanguage"
		+	}
		+
		+	Open the file config.blk with Notepad++ and change the string
		+	language:t="English"
		+	to
		+	language:t="NewLanguage"
		+
		+	Then launch aces.exe (Attention! You shouldn't launch the game via launcher, as it would overwrite the selected language)
		+
		+	'''Attention! All .csv files should contain a column with correct title (NewLanguage) '''
