I just started making some basic xml editing on civ5, and I just realised, xml changes will not alter the descriptions by themselves like civ4 did. and I can't find any txt files but a folder named NewText which doesn't include the descriptions that I needed (traits, wonders) etc.
Anyone can help me? please! before I forget what I have changed!!!:sad:
 
Yes, all of the text keys are in the NewText directory. A simple Search in windows will find whatever key you're looking for, although the naming convention used for certain UI Lua-specific keys is a little different.

As for the comment about help text not auto-updating, it'll adjust itself for explicit stats and such (like if you change the Production bonus of a building), but not the text blurb below the stats. The VEM mod takes this a bit further by including logic to automatically generate those bits of help text by including checks for a much wider variety of bonuses, but yes, generally speaking you need to edit the keys yourself when you want to add something truly unusual.
