Imports comma-separated values

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Comma-separated values are a plain text table storage format. The format's simplicity makes it easy to edit in any text editor or spreadsheet software. This makes it a common choice for game localization.

\ **Example CSV file:**\ 

.. code:: text

    keys,en,es,ja
    GREET,"Hello, friend!","Hola, amigo!",こんにちは
    ASK,How are you?,Cómo está?,元気ですか
    BYE,Goodbye,Adiós,さようなら
    QUOTE,"""Hello"" said the man.","""Hola"" dijo el hombre.",「こんにちは」男は言いました

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_ResourceImporterCSVTranslation_property_compress:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **compress** = ``true`` :ref:`🔗<class_ResourceImporterCSVTranslation_property_compress>`

If ``true``, creates an :ref:`OptimizedTranslation<class_OptimizedTranslation>` instead of a :ref:`Translation<class_Translation>`. This makes the resulting file smaller at the cost of a small CPU overhead.

.. _class_ResourceImporterCSVTranslation_property_delimiter:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`int<class_int>` **delimiter** = ``0`` :ref:`🔗<class_ResourceImporterCSVTranslation_property_delimiter>`

The delimiter to use in the CSV file. The default value matches the common CSV convention. Tab-separated values are sometimes called TSV files.
