Need an advice on updated strings.

Post by noobtranslator »

Hi, I am a noob translator who is currently working on a game called State of Decay 2.
I managed to successfully translate into the language I want to display, by unpacking and repacking .locres files while using Google Spreadsheets as I do not know any useful tool to change strings.
However, the problem happened today.

State of Decay 2 had a major - or minor - update today, which added more than 200 strings to the .locres file, and when I copy and paste the English text to the spreadsheet
the majority of the strings are very off, and I gave up fixing the strings as the entire file has more than 130000 strings as of now.
Is there any tools that I can utilize while keeping my old strings that are already translated and have the newly added strings left blanks?

Please advise, and thank you very much in advance.
