XLOC — import & export

XLOC is a translation management service. Poneglyph exports JSON packages that XLOC can ingest, and accepts translated packages back.

XLOC → Manage XLOC opens the XLOC console. From there:

  1. Pick the languages and tables to push.
  2. Pick the entry kind (UI, Bark, Conversation, Platform).
  3. Click Export to produce a JSON package.
  4. Upload the package to XLOC via your studio’s process.

Lines tagged with the ExcludeFromXLOC folder flag are skipped automatically.

When XLOC returns a translated package:

  1. Open XLOC → Import.
  2. Drop the JSON package.
  3. Review the per-line preview — new translations, updates, conflicts.
  4. Confirm. The import lands in the staging area; nothing reaches main without your accept.
  • XLOC reads two extra columns Poneglyph fills automatically: Description (context for translators) and Emotion (tone hint). Fill them well — they’re the main way to give translators context they otherwise wouldn’t have.
  • The XLOC schema is studio-configurable via xloc-util-*.jar; updates to that schema may require a Poneglyph version bump.
