*For example, in `You can rotate furniture by pressing <k Rotate>.`, the formatting code will be replaced with the key value of the keybind to rotate furniture and other objects. If the word `Rotate` in it was changed (or translated), the link to the keybind would be broken.*
### Testing Your Translations
To test your translation, you can export it and put it into the game. To export it, head to the "Files" section in the left sidebar, and then press the `Localization.json` file's export button, which looks like a little cardboard box. In the menu that comes up, select the language you're working on from the dropdown, and leave everything else the same. Now, you can put the exported file into the `Content/Localization` folder of the game's installation. If it's not part of it already, its name also has to be added to the `LanguageNames.json` file. Starting the game with the `-v` argument will cause it to output some additional information about errors in your localization to the [log file](game_dir.md) as well.

It's highly recommended to start the game with the `-v` (or `--verbose`) argument, as that will cause it to output some additional information about errors in your localization to the game's [log file](game_dir.md). Fixing errors like these is generally very important, as they can cause players to receive incorrect or incomplete information or, in some cases, cause the game to crash.
### Language Overrides
Strings that begin with `Overrides` are part of the overrides section, which is a set of settings that determine the way parts of the game operate when a language is applied. These should not be translated, and set to the appropriate values instead.
