When you import media files for dialogue or voice-overs, you need to specify that these will be voice objects so that Wwise can later recognize these object in the localization process.
In some cases you will be importing voice files for localizing the project. When you import these files, they are saved in the project language folders and new sources are created in Wwise for these languages. Before you can do this, you need to define your project languages in the Language Manager. After you have set up your project languages, you can import the media files for your language sources. For more information on working with project languages, refer to Localizing Your Project.
