References:
This spreadsheet will be used directly in the translation patch, through exporting the separate sheets as CSV's.
4
Town names
Generally, the names of these sheets will correspond to a file dependency in the translation patch (e.g. bank08_misc -> bank08_misc.csv, bank08_misc.asm)

Cutscene text
6
Character names
When translating dialog, creating a new paragraph can be done by creating a new line in the sheet.

Be mindful of things that can cause technical issues (e.g. quotation marks)
