Adding new strings to unlockables.xtbl

I'm trying to add some new entries to unlockables.xtbl, but all the strings seem to be weird things like UNL_DESC_SPRINTING_SPEED_3. I assume these are for localization. But setting it to a different string just makes it display nothing, with the exception of the "detailed description" entry. How can I get this to work?

You have to add that String into the translation file, its the same with my Homies mod.
 
There are le_strig files inside the misc.vpp_pc.
You have to use the extract strings tool on them.
Edit them and then build them aigain.
Okay I used the extract strings tool but I don't see any identifiers like UNL_DESC_whatever, just numbers followed by the actual strings.

Thats what will occur if you don't specify where you've extracted misc_tables.vpp_pc. If you extract it, then use this in the command prompt:

ThomasJepp.SaintsRow.ExtractStrings.exe hud_pl.le_strings -xtbl="***"

*** being the full directory where your misc_tables.vpp_pc folder is at. That should extract them with names then.
 
EDIT: Ok, never mind, I figured it out.
