Setting the Default Dialogue Language

When writing dialogue, there is a language and font set that is used in the EasyTalk Node Editor and that language is also used as the original language for translations in Translation Libraries for your Dialogue Assets.

warning

If you change the language, you will need to update all of your Translation Libraries manually to use the correct default language, which you can do in the Inspector after selecting each Translation Library. To select the Translation Library of a Dialogue Asset, expand it in the project browser.
