Whoot!

It all works now. Thanks a bunch.

First of all thanks for the replys. They helped.

But could someone please tell me how to properly use @ commands for my journal entries, and how to make a .tra file, etc. I simply can't understand the tutorial that comes with weidu on this point:

First, let's create a TRA file:

C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\> weidu --traify-tlk --min 2000 --max 2002
        ...
  @2000  = ~Indeed! It's been quite tasty so far. Listen, we're not here to
  devour everything. In fact, we'd like to help a little girl named
  Jaella.~
  @2001  = ~No, we haven't. We will devour you if you don't tell us what we
  need to know.~
  @2002  = ~Let us stop this charade. I'm only here to ask you a few
  questions.~
        ...
        You may also extract only those strings matching a regexp:

C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\> weidu --traify-tlk --strfind lawyer
        ...
  @36568 = ~Honor-bound and honor-branded, then, is it?  Very well, lawyer,
  you have set me free and for that I thank you.~
        ...
  Finally, you may redirect the output to a file using --textout and read from a different TLK file by adding it on the command line.

Once you have a TRA file with a few entries you can create a TLK file from it:

C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\> weidu --make-tlk my.tra --tlkout new.tlk
  [c:\src\weidu\weidu.exe] WeiDU version 109
  [C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA/chitin.key] 182 BIFFs, 41793
  resources
  [C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA/dialog.tlk] 82405 string entries
  [my.tra] parsed
  [my.tra] has 100 translation strings
  New TLK will have 200 entries
  [new.tlk] created, 200 string entries
  String @1 in your TRA file will become string reference #1 in the TLK file. If your TRA file has ``holes'' the new TLK file will have blank entries. You may specify --make-tlk multiple times: the last TRA file to define a translation string determine that string reference.

If you could please elaborate on different specific commands and how they work, that would help me a lot

Great. Thanks. Suddenly it all makes sense.
