I collected all those names we have in our database to create this names.xml file. The main reason for this was the rebuilding of our localization system. As you can see in this file the translation of a name will be stored in the same record rather than in separate files. Another improvement this brought was reducing redundancy,
- not having to change multiple files to update/add names no more and
- not having multiple records with the same name, but different language ids no more.
If there are any questions on this file I'll be happy to answer as good as I can. I don't know anything about modding OOTP though, so don't ask me about that
