[LANG] Lang file help

[VillainousPotato]

of death. However, upon closer examination, a total of 13 small incisions made by various surgical instruments
were found on the visual cortex of the patients brain. These incisions alone wold not merit a fatal reaction, however combined with the neglectance
of life support this might have caused small ruptures in the brain due to the patients current condition. These incisions were never documented in the patients

What's the problem again ?
The note is empty or what ?

I added multiple entries to the "journal" Category and now nothing that's connected to the lang file works like notes, diaries,descriptions and such. the tutorial says that something is misspelled or something like that, but I've checked and cant find anything.

yes it is. i worked on the lang file in increments, so that's when was less experienced and i just haven't changed it yet


and also it still doesn't work, what did you change?

---

never mind I fixed it. I believe the problem was the format of the entry named "Damage Log". I created it in another text editor and put bullets on it, so i believe that's what was messing it up.
