Don't be so quick to dismiss someone's instruction when a new member doesn't get it right the first time, trial and error is a part of learning.
If you dont mind me asking, how do you set-up a REQ if its not the same as the ODF name?

@webster yes, rename everything. What you can do is higlight it, hit control + c and go to the next language and control + v. ta-da! copy and paste. Localization takes 2 seconds this way.

Um, he just showed you how in the images...

The individual unit REQ references the unit's ODF. The side REQ references the individual unit REQ. You load the REQ name in the lua, but you reference the ODF name in the SetupTeams section. (i.e. See how the stock local Kashyyyk Wookiee side is set up and referenced in the lua.)

And for the record, weapon ODFs don't have REQ files, so how could the localization tool use REQ names? That's because it doesn't, as Ace has already pointed out.
