Special characters aren't part of the syntax. Fix your quotation marks.

I know that when I first loaded my Custom Story none of these appeared. If you haven't already, also try reloading your custom story, or Amnesia altogether. Then again I don't know if that was just a problem on my side or if it has something to do with the .lang refreshing or something.

These are proper quotation marks: "".
These are not: “”.

If it's a level door the category name has to be "Levels" and not "LevelDoors"
Like this:
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
<Entry Name="Study_Door">Study</Entry>
<Entry Name="Storage_Door">Storage</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

Speaking of Categorys. I'm quite confused about them. I don't really understand if every single category you type, has to be something special to work? for example the level doors. as you said:
Quote:"If it's a level door the category name has to be "Levels" and not "LevelDoors"
Like this:
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
<Entry Name="Study_Door">Study</Entry>
<Entry Name="Storage_Door">Storage</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
How do you exactly know when it has to be a specific category name?
