PREAMBLE:
---------
Jessica's CupcakeCafe was developed by a predominantly English-speaking development team. As such, all of the "original" art sources, text, user-interface (UI) layouts and fonts were created/chosen with the English language in mind. Every time this document refers to the "original" sources, it refers to the English source files.

If you are doing localization into any other language, please use the English assets as your reference source. Thank you!



PART 1: ART ASSETS
------------------

1) When replacing art assets, make sure that they have exactly the same dimensions as the original assets. Failure to do so will result in misaligned in-game art.
2) This is especially true with filmstrip animations. For example, if a filmstrip is made of 6 rows by 4 columns and each segment (i.e. frame) measures 32x32 pixels, the localized version MUST have the same specifications.
3) The localized file MUST be of the SAME type as the original (i.e. If the original is a PNG image, the localized version must also be a PNG). Failure to do so may prevent the game from loading properly.
