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 …

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)

After evaluating the time spent merging bug fixes, revised translations and changes that resulted from fixing game play issues, we came to the conclusion that a dedicated editor would have saved a lot of time. Especially with tags and meta info stumbled over. (25k words english)

Yeah. Most dialogue editors seem to be for making Mass Effect style branching dialogues... but really I want it localization, window positioning, timing, sprite coordination (think FF6 scripted movements)...
