Usage

To show the Language Calls Monitor, press F7.

Explanation

This mod helps when fixing any text for a mod, which means dialogue and menu text. It's useful for translation projects and custom stories, or any form of mod development that has custom dialogue.

What it does is display an overlay with a list of recent files (like YAML files) and message IDs that the game used to load dialogue when talking to characters or navigating menus. Whenever you see an issue like a typo or a undefined in the game, you can press F7 to open the Language Calls Monitor to see which file and message ID you need to check. This should be a lot easier for reporting and fixing translation issues in development. This mod monitors all dialogue, plugin, and system language calls, which should cover everything that's text-based and not hard-coded.

The monitor will also list a trimmed version of the retrieved text. This is not possible with plugin and system calls, but if you installed the SDK version of NW.js you can see the retrieved values in the browser console (using F12).
