Translation files - syntax question

[worik]

A technical question:

 

in the translation files of some mods, I can see sometimes that the lines finish with a dot "." and sometimes not.

 

Is this only a question of personal style or is there a necessary technical reason from the game engine behind this?

Hi.

Are you speaking about the files to translate the MCM pages or something else?

 

If it for a MCM page (so the string should start with "$") then the dot is just a punctuation style.

In the MCM translation strings the only characters that have to be respected are the dollar symbol at begin, and open and close brackets { }, because they are delimiting a place where some other string will be placed.

Yes, these were the files I meant.

Thank you
