The import/export function and NWN1 support is great! Could still do with some work, but is the best currently available for my purposes.
I would like the ability to copy and paste rows. Have been exporting the .tlk, editing it in a text editor and re-importing. _________________________ NWN2 voicesets for NWN1
Well, I am a newb, and I have no idea how to make it work to create a custom dialogue file. When I click on the line to enter the text in the string it opens a window for sound editing instead. I guess, this tool is just not straightforward enough for me. :) Cheers, folks, and good luck with the Korean translation. _________________________ Joinable NPCs in IWD2. I'm *not* kidding!

I tried a few TLK editors. This was the first I found with the feature I needed, the ability to export to a format I can parse into a database.
Nice bit of software.

Nice Editor. I dislike using some of the Java based ones as they just dont behave as I would expect sometimes. The comparision and statistics are quite nice as well. (Minor quibble: you are missing the unicode byte-ordering mark (0xFFFE) when exporting the comparision report so some text editors may not like the file.)
