My guess:
* Using "original" language, text is displayed as-is.
* Using a translation, all the text replacement is done by the "id" (might be a real id, an uuid, or a text ; i mean the left part of the '|' in one line of one txt file).
I'm not sure that there is a cache per file (i mean a map of "id" -> "text") per character and another one for the story. I suppose there is only one cache for all.

Maybe don/erasmus can tell us more about that.

If that's a problem, why (just for example) isn't the very next line a problem?

Amy.txt

Ashley.txt

...and so on for other girls.

There are thousands of duplicate UUIDs in this story and always have been.

Your example is also an issue. there is others "errors" like that one, it might be difficult to list them all.

This story has had duplicate UUIDs across characters since the very beginning. So unless the translation has had problems with those all along, I'm guessing it uses the character files, not some central index.

If I'm wrong about that, there's not really a way to fix it. At this point there are (no exaggeration) thousands of UUIDs being re-used across characters.

And, actually, this is a pretty easy thing to test. I'll try it later today...

Ugh, well, I tested it and these are indeed a problem. In fact, this story has never worked correctly in translation. The girls all get named using Amy's naming conventions, so there will be duplicate names and much confusion.

For example, in conversation, Stephanie will say her name is Kennedy, but the game gives her the name Jenna.

I feel bad, ttant, that you have spent so much time doing translations when they really won't work.

I see no real solution to this other than creating each girl's hundreds of event triggers from scratch, instead of by macro, which is just not possible given my available time to work on this. Maybe if there is ever a "final" version, I might do it, but not while I'm still making changes and adding features.

One solution:
As part of macro do replace of ids in such a way to add some sort of prefix for each girl.

Essentially replace first X characters of id with an identifier of a specific girl.

It's a good idea, but I'm pretty sure I tested this and it doesn't work. I think the game doesn't like UUIDs it doesn't assign itself.

I pretty much use custom IDs myself in Gone Bad Party story,

Of course, the format needs to be correct.

Hmmm, I'll take a look at what you did in Gone Bad. Still would be a lot of work, but a better solution than recreating all the events from scratch.

Knock knock, it's me. Could you post the complete list of traits as of the latest update? I deleted all my files on my Google Drive related to this story. I'm trying to recreate them.
