0    "a"        "aa"
1    "b"        "bb"
2    "c"        "cc"
3    "d"        "dd"
……
##########Folder directory
game/languages/en
game/languages/cn
……            
##########

we actually do have something along those lines. using head as an example:    

cliffsnotes:
set langTableMod for your over arching language table tracker
for a particular text element use textID for assignment
define a global variable matching it for a numerical reference

write your txt files in the form stringname = string

We are looking at addressing *some* of that for 4.1, including a rewrite of the frontend UI protocols to be somewhat less programmatic. If you'd care to evaluate https://github.com/TorqueGameEngines/Torque3D/tree/development to see if that resolves the issue, or at least seems to be a step forward in that regard, it would be appreciated.
