These lines go in the same field as the main line, are put in brackets an are marked with “Alt:” preceding the transcription. If there are multiple alternative lines, precede the transcription with "Alt lines:" and put the lines in quotation marks, seperating the different lines with semicolons. If the transcription of the alternative line is identical to the main line, this can be omitted. | ||

They will have translation in italics." | There are characters who frequently speak languages other than English. A sentence at the top of the quote page should disclose the second spoken language.

Some characters say one-off sentences in other languages. In those cases, the line is still written in the spoken language, but the following translation is preceded by the language that is being translated from. | Some characters say one-off sentences in other languages.

Checking the in-game caption provides the proper transription, however, a translation is currently impossible. Adding "(''Ixian'')''"'' to the end of the transcription sufficiently marks it as such. | ||
