articy:draft 3 JSON export with Localization replaces localisable text with LocaIDs (keys in Excel column A, text in column B) and leaves parsing to the user; the Unity importer uses LocaIDs built from TechnicalName plus property name (not to be changed), an optional 'Is final?' column that stops overwrites, and loc_<package>_<language>.xlsx files. articy:draft X imports carry text states (In Progress, Final, Outdated) and offer abort or skip on multi-user claiming conflicts.
