How the "tip" on <name> works?

[lazyanttu]

When I'm trying to produce, for example worker, i write:
      <name value="produce_worker" tip="worker_info"/>
But where is that "tip"'s text file? When I create my custom-made units, how can I change the tip?

Well, I couldn't find the answer from the forums/guides (i believe this is explained somewhere, but perhaps I'm just blind  ), so could you help me with this problem?

hi lazyanttu,

  The 'tip' strings are looked up in the faction lang file, this is a separate lang file that is located in techs/my_tech/factions/my_faction/ and should be named my_faction_en.lng,  changing "my_faction" and 'en' as needed, of course

  You can also include a tech wide lang file, techs/my_tech/my_tech_en.lng, in theory when a unit/command/level/etc name needs translating, it is looked up in the relevant faction lang file first, if not found there then it looks in the tech lang file, and if its not there then it would be looked up in the global lang file.

  I say 'in theory' because there are likely numerous places where this doesn't happen atm, so if you notice anything you think may be wrong, please don't be shy, take a screen-shot and post it up, chances are it is an error and simply hasn't been noticed yet.

Cheers.

Hmm, can't believe I missed this feature when I was trying to mass-document GAE... I added it to the wiki now: https://docs.megaglest.org/GAE/Translating

This page also marks the introduction of true syntax highlighting on the wiki. Take a look at the page's source to see how it was done! I'll start using that more often.
