Extensions in this section are intended to be filled out by the author. #international_production_title and #international_translation_title are important to fill out. Every full game Ex.ini file should include these. #software_company_name should also be considered.
Sometimes this information may be printed out in places. In a teletype-style display or an "About" window for instance. It's also good to provide the information if possible so people can find it when reading or modifying the Ex.ini file that would come with your game. It can also easily be automatically entered into a database of games or kept on file.
When translating a game into another language it's important to faithfully include all information in this section, and to not translate any of it.
