BGEE Steam modding, dialog.tlk not found in chitin.key

Hi, I've been working on a campaign for two years now on the Baldur's gates enhanced edition. I figured that if I wanted to install in the slot of the tutorial, i had to install the mod in BGEE instead of BG2EE.
Alas, when I tried the Steam version in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, I got this error while trying to COPY_EXISTING dialog.tlk:
ERROR locating resource for 'COPY'
Resource [dialog.tlk] not found in KEY file:
[./chitin.key]
Stopping installation because of error.
I figure that the dialog.tlk is located somewhere else, like C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition\lang\en_US\, but even if I link the file with this coding:
COPY ~lang\en_US\dialog.tlk~ ~override~
APPEND_FILE ~FactionWar/dialog.txt~
It will still mention the same error.
Maybe it would be easier if I just buy the GOG version, but paying 30$ again for a game I already have, notwithstanding that many players will have the Steam version instead, I wonder how I should find the dialog.tlk file or code the right path in my Setup.tp2, if it's not located in the chitin.key.
Thanks for your time!

Then, after some research, I discovered that the tutorial was removed entirely from the BG2EE, so I opted to mod BGEE. Since I have only the Steam version, I encountered an issue with the chitin.key with Weidu, stating it didnt find the file dialog.tlk, and it was needed to append my new lines of dialog.
Well, I just copied the dialog.tlk from the lang\en_US\ doc near the chitin.key and I am able to test the mod just fine. So, basically I resolved the issue in a way, unless it provokes irredeemable damages to the game?
Uninstall Modmerge, forget about it and install this: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/71305/mod-dlc-merger-merge-steam-gog-sod-dlc-or-custom-dlcs-with-the-main-game - you need to reinstall this mod as first one every time when toy restore the game from backup/verify game files via Steam. WeiDU doesn't have any problems with locating dialog.tlk if it's placed at the correct directory - the one which has chitin.key file. Which version of WeiDU are you using?
Did you mean 24600 from here https://github.com/WeiDUorg/weidu/releases ?
