* Pressing <code>Ctrl</code> will display the name of the key instead of the actual translated phrase (or English fallback).

* Pessing <code>F8</code> will bring up the in-game translation editor. See below.

=== Translation Editor In Game ===

If you enable '''Translator Assist''' you will be able to press <code>F8</code> to bring up the in game editor. You can search for the key you would like to change and make the change directly, which should be visible in game immediately.

Once you have finished making your changes press the <code>Browse</code> button to bring up the File Explorer on the language folder, where you can find <code>language.csv</code>. This is the file that contains your changes and that you should share with Introversion (e.g. talk to @Totengeist or @jknotten on the Discord)
