One of the most useful articles on localization I've ever read:https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/MariannaSacra/20180212/314560/The_Indie_Developers_Guide_to_a_Kickass_Game_Localization_Part_I_How_to_Prepare_Your_Game_for_Localization.php …

Sorry. Smartling not Smartly lol.
I was giving localizers my XML files but it was too much since I have tags for dialog positioning/timing and it confused them. At a Petroglyph I think we at one point used some kind of freeware text spreadsheet so it could be diffed, but I don't remember what it was!

I ultimately think I want some kind of Dialogue Editor that already has this stuff built in... but it may be something I have to make myself because stuff like scripting the sprite animations would also go into it.

I was looking at this product at one point: http://www.chatmapper.com/features/ , but I'm not sure if it can do the sprite scripting stuff I want (like having the characters move around, play certain animations, etc. during the conversation)

I don’t want to sound like a Smartling sales person but it took care of that stuff for us. Uploaded Android and iOS string files and translators got a nice web tool. For difficult spots we uploaded screenshots and defined the string areas.
