* EU: ''message/eu/eu.qm''
* US: ''message/us/us.qm''
* JP: ''message/jp/jp.qm''

Only localization relevant for the region is included in each file; all other fields are nulled out instead. An exception to this is Dutch, which is nulled out in all regions.

At [offset] is a [length] byte long string containing one dialogue entry. The string uses [[3D:Text Control Codes|text control codes]] as a little scripting language, and to e.g. change colour or include icons in the dialogue.

The data follows immediately after the table, up to end-of-file.
