When some database table contains text that should be visible in the game (in any form), for example description of some item, the table itself stores only the id (string_name) of this string. The content (text) is stored separately in the table string. It is worth noting, that even this text is not the one used in the running game. The final versions of texts appearing in the game are exported from the string_localized table (with various language versions).
Exporting new strings
In order for a string to be exported to the game correctly, it has to have value in the string_localized table for language_id = 1 (PDG, which is sort of a working language) and language_id = 2 (ENG, which is the final English version).
