==Languages== | |||
Its possible to create "'''language specific files'''" by adding a number to the end of the file name, this files will be loaded by the PS3 only if the user has configured their profile with the same language. | |||
This language codes are used in several places when talking about the content in a PS3 (and PSP) e.g: | |||
*Some parameters inside .SFO contains language specific names (e.g. TITLE_'''xx''') | |||
*Audio tracks of .BIK video files (.BIK format supports 1 video track + severall audio tracks, the system decides wich ones to play). Note this number can be changed by the game | |||
*Trophy installers contains several files for several languages used as "source files", only one is installed | |||
*Information in themes translated in several languages, e.g: "theme name" "genre" "comment", etc... | |||
