Locale

The game supports multiple locales. Locales and all localized strings for them are loaded from %GameDirectory%\Data\Loco.

Locales can be referred to using various identifiers. See the table below for a list of them.

Enum Value Display Name Directory Name Region Code Language Code 2 Language Code 3 Language Code PSN Website Code

Locale File

Locale (.locale, signature LOC) files contain metadata for a given localization. They use the same header and string formats as Calligraphy.

Locale files have the following structure:

struct LocaleFile
{
    CalligraphyHeader Header;
    FixedString16 Name;
    FixedString16 LanguageDisplayName;
    FixedString16 RegionDisplayName;
    string Directory;
    ushort NumFlags;
    LocaleFlag[NumFlags] Flags;
}

Locale flags have the following structure:

struct LocaleFlag
{
    ushort BitValue;
    ushort BitMask;
    string FlagText;
}

Localized strings for the given locale are stored in a subdirectory specified in the Directory field. Generally there are four files named locale.all_3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.string, locale.all_7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.string, locale.all_BFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.string, locale.all_FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.string, with an appropriate language code instead of locale (see the table above for reference).

String File

String (.string, signature STR) files contain a map of localized string ids. This format is also used in the achievement database dump sent to the client on login.

String files have the following structure:

struct StringFile
{
    CalligraphyHeader Header;
    ushort NumEntries;
    StringMapEntry[NumEntries] StringMap;
}

Each string map entry has the following structure:

struct StringMapEntry
{
    ulong LocaleStringId;
    ushort NumVariants;
    ushort FlagsProduced;
    uint Offset;

    if (NumVariants > 0)
        StringVariation[NumVariants - 1] Variants;
}

Variations are alternate versions of strings used in some languages (e.g. for grammatical cases in Russian). They have the following structure:

struct StringVariation
{
    ulong FlagsConsumed;
    ulong FlagsProduced;
    uint Offset;
}

The actual strings are null-terminated UTF-8 encoded strings stored at offsets specified in the map. The offset is relative to the beginning of the file (0).
