- If Steam "Verify integrity of game files" or an update undoes your changes, a bar offers **Re-apply my
changes** or **Forget them**. Do not use "verify" to undo mods; use Revert all.
## Subtitles
The **Subtitles** tab lists the subtitle of every speech line (11 languages; choose one with *Language*).
- Search by text or line name, filter by **Character** and **Category** (taken from the linked speech sound),
or show **Modified only**. Select a row to edit its text below and press **Apply** (or Enter).
- Each subtitle replaces the original *in place*, so it can be at most as long as the original (the counter
shows *used / room* characters). Latin-1 subtitles accept Latin-1 characters only (accents are fine);
Russian, Polish, Japanese and Korean subtitles accept any character.
- **Go to the sound** opens the speech line in the Sounds tab. In the Sounds tab, the editor of a speech line
shows its subtitle under the audio: edit both side by side and use **Apply subtitle**, or **Show in
Subtitles** to jump back.
- **Find and replace…** works on the rows the filters show (texts that would not fit are listed and skipped).
- **Revert** / **Revert all texts here** put the original text back (every copy in every game file).
- About 8 % of the subtitles belong to lines the game never plays (placeholders); they have no linked sound.
## Menu text
The **Menu text** tab lists every menu, HUD, bio, riddle and credits string of the chosen language (about
7,000), grouped by **File** (e.g. `FRONTEND`, `GFxUI`, `Bios`). Search, edit, apply and revert work like
subtitles; menu texts can be of any length but cannot contain line breaks (keep the game's own markers such
as `\n` as they are).
## Notes, tags, favorites
Right-click → **Notes & tags…** (F2): free text and comma-separated tags, searchable and filterable.
Click the **★** column to mark favorites. These are stored in your user data folder, not in the game.

- **Export mod…**: choose which changed sounds to include and save a `.acmod` file (the exact game data plus
the audio, so it also works for another language whose original has a different size).
- **Import mod…**: shows which sounds match this game, then installs them. You can revert them like any change.
- Changed subtitles and menu texts are exported and imported with the sounds (listed as *Text*).
