Importing Language Files

When your language files are ready, you can import them into your project using the Audio File Importer. When you import these files, language sources are created in the selected voice objects in the Audio tab of the Project Explorer and displayed in the Contents Editor. If you want to localize your project at once, you can import the localized files at the topmost level in the hierarchy.

In the Contents Editor, you have the flexibility of including or excluding the language sources per platform as well as selecting language sources per platform. For more information on how to customize per language and source version as well as deciding which language source to use per platform, refer to:

	Note
	When you are importing audio files for localizing your project, make sure that the files have exactly the same name as the audio file in the reference language.

To import language audio files into your project:

Select an object in the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy into which you want to import the language files.
