I am making a MOD called Starbow. When I upload it on EU all tooltips etc look like they should. When I send it to the NA uploader and he publishes it, the custom tooltips are not there. It says things like this instead when players hold the arrow on the upgrade buttons:
Players on NA do not get information from tooltips I have created. Instead of the actual description (Stalkers get +2 range), it says things like: Button/Tooltip/researchDualityCharge
I´ve heard about some kind of localization program that can be used. But no one knows for sure if it exists.
So when I send the MOD-file to the NA uploader, I must save it in a seperate version where I select the Locale - English US ?
Cause players in French say that they do not see the texts of the tooltips either. Must they also get a seperate french version? And the spanish too..?

Is there no way to make the MOD "global" ?
Map -> Locale -> untick every locale except for the locale you edited your stuff in... (seems like enGB). Save the map, publish the map everywhere...
You require exactly 1 global locale or all locales... your choice.
Ah come on now, anyone wanna just confirm if I understood this?
Second picture looks fine to me, if your map is meant to be played in English for everyone.
First picture looks fine to me, if you localized your map for at least 2 languages properly (e.g. English and French) and made every other locale contain all of the English texts (and you would need to do all future text updates in that language). But nobody has a map that is localized for multiple locales properly anyway... or it's rare and people don't have all of their other locales made properly.
For the first picture: Have you clicked 'Modify Locale' and unticked all languages but enGB? Because when you do that the other languages aren't supposed to be in the list we can see in the picture.
It seems like all boxes at Modify Locale has been ticked all the time at the MOD file. (Since I publish it with "Use for all locales"? ) Now when I try to untick them, this warning message below appear.
Is it a good thing if I untick all of them and then publishes it on both NA and EU?
Will it solve the problem for all languages, even the french and german versions?
Should I not use "Use for all locales" when I publish maps and the MOD?
(I know I ask a lot.. I just so dearly want this to work : / )

Anyone knows whats going on?
UK english is a different locality US english. In short they use different files for some reason when it comes to tooltips.

Anyway this can be solved?
This is a huge issue :(

At the top of the editor under the Map menu the Locale.

Thanks a lot for all help!
Just to make sure I understand this:
I go into my MOD-file, into Mod - Locale - and untick every box except for EnGB?
Then I go into every map I use the MOD with and do the same procedure?
So everything shall be UNTICKED, except for EnGB?
It will look as in my pictures below?
(Cause if this is the right thing, it has been like this all the time, and it still does not work on NA :( )

In short: yes.

@Kabelkorven: Go Untick them it will solve your problem. Only tick the ones you have proper text for.
