Problem with new entries while modding

Hi again. Another problem arises.

I tried many times to rename my items, creatures and descriptions with new entries. It saves them with DLTCEP, but once i test my mod, all those entries are wiped out and many entries becomes downright wrong. Is that linked to the Setup.tra? Is there a step i missed?

Thank you all for your time.

    Don't use DLTCEP to mess with text. Just learn to add strings with WeiDU, you'll save yourself a ton of effort and wasted time.

    If you must, though, DLTCEP doesn't recognize the language folder in the game directory. It places the dialog.tlk in the directory itself which you then have to paste into the language folder (lang/en_US or whatever). I would never, ever, ever do this though. Any mod you install or uninstall will probably make all the changes you make disappear with no way to recover them. And always remember to backup your unedited dialog.tlk file or you will break your game irreversibly.
