The texts inside .rco files are indexed in the embedded '''RCOXML''' code of the .rco container under the XML element '''TextTree'''. See [[Resource Container (RCO)]] and [[RCOXML Coding]]

All the texts inside .rco has a localized file for every one of the [[languages]] supported by [[XMB]]. The localized file contains all the translated text strings

=Text=
"TextTree" could be renamed to LanguageTree, is more intuitive, the point is every entry here is the "parent" of several string texts, but the entry itself is not a text (is the parent of a group of texts), so is better to use a name more abstract like "LanguageTree"
For a [[Languages|Language]] first are specified the '''language_id''' and the number of "children" text strings
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset !! Length !! Name !! Example !! Notes
|-
| 0x00 || 0x02 || '''language_id''' ||  || 0x00=Japanese<br>0x01=English (United States)<br>0x02=French<br>0x03=Spanish (Spain)<br>0x04=German<br>0x05=Italian<br>0x06=Dutch<br>0x07=Portuguese (Portugal)<br>0x08=Russian<br>0x09=Korean<br>0x0A=Chinese (Traditional)<br>0x0B=Chinese (Simplified)<br>0x0C=Finnish<br>0x0D=Swedish<br>0x0E=Danish<br>0x0F=Norwegian<br>0x10=Polish<br>0x11=Portuguese (Brazil)<br>0x12=English (United Kingdom)<br>0x13=Turkish

| 0x02 || 0x02 || '''character_encoding''' ||  || Works as a replacement of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark BOM]<br>0x00=[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 UTF8]<br>0x01=[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16 UTF16]<br>0x02=[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-32 UTF32]
|-
| 0x04 || 0x04 || '''strings_number''' ||  || number of text strings for this '''language_id'''

Now for every '''strings_number''' are repeated 12 bytes to define every string that are references to other tables
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Offset !! Length !! Name !! Example !! Notes
|-
| 0x00 || 0x04 || '''label_offset''' ||  || Offset to label, relative of the label table
|-
| 0x04 || 0x04 || '''string_length''' ||  || Length of the text
|-
| 0x08 || 0x04 || '''string_offset''' ||  || Offset of the text, relative to the text data start address
|}
=Language Modifications=
All modifications made to the '''<language>.xml''' files extracted from [[Resource_Container_(RCO) | RCO]]'s with [[rcomage]] belongs to this category
==How to add custom texts==
Rebug package manager example goes here
==Photosensitive epilepsy text removal/replacement==
<div style="float:right">[[File:Epilepsy-warning.jpg|210px|thumb|right|Epilepsy Warning screen]]</div>
Text is located in all <language.xml> files inside [[sysconf_plugin]].rco
It can be blanked (replaced by nothing), or replaced by any other custom text and ASCII art

*Notes
**To make accurate texts that fits to the screen is needed to know the number of characters in width, and number of lines in height (for every TV resolution mode ?)
**Some experiments with ASCII art http://www.ps3hax.net/2013/04/tutorial-how-to-edit-ps3-epilepsy-warning-on-cfw/
**VSH.self is responsible for loading the epilepsy warning screen. To disable it completely use [[Patches#disable_epilepsy_message|this patch]]
==Adding custom language packs==
*[[PS3MFW_Builder#PSheb_project|PS3MFW_Builder::PSheb_project]]. Info about the PSheb project needs to be improved, splitted and moved to several wiki pages:
**Info about .xml modifications moved to [[Languages]] page
**Info about .tcl "language pack" task stays in [[PS3MFW Builder]] page
**Info about replacing or adding characters/glyphs in the official .ttf fonts moved to [[XMB Fonts]] page
