"extra_english.lang" file not working!

First off, I'm new to this modding thing, so please have a bit of patience with me. I was adding some new ItemName and ItemDesc entries into my extra_english.lang, and then when I ran the game (the map and sounds loaded just fine, the map.hps file was still working like it was supposed to) none of my text was showing up on doors, or items. I didn't change anything drastic in the .lang file, but it appears to not be working, or something.

I really don't know what the issue is. I tried restarting my computer, but it didn't work, so I'm lost. Thank you in advance for your help!

RE: "extra_english.lang" file not working!

Change:
<Entry Name-"ItemName_key4">Basement Key</Entry>

To:
<Entry Name="ItemName_key4">Basement Key</Entry>

(There was a "-" instead of "=")

Btw, if one thing is wrong in the .lang file, nothing will show.
