• Open *.manifest file.
• Press File -> Export... and program will create an Excel file.
• You will get a single sheet document similar to this one:
• Untranslated cells will be highlighted in red. This allows the translator to find them quickly.
• You can edit the document up until the line that says: --== !!! DO NOT TRANSLATE THE TEXT BELOW !!! == SERVICE DATA ==--
• You can sort rows any way you like, but before reimporting you need to re-sort them by the first column.
• When you are ready to reimport, start the program and select File -> Import.
• Select File -> Save As... and save to your *.manifest file.
• Don't forget to Gather and Compile translations in Unreal Engine 4 again.
