 An outstanding feature of the Japanese localization is that it comes with '''level0_Tools''', a component that is inaccessible from the shipping version of Oni and can only be used by developers in "Tool mode". At the time of writing, Japanese Oni has the only publicly available instance of '''level0_Tools''' that was built for Windows. The other known instances of level0_Tools are the Japanese Mac release and the German Mac release.
-The German Mac version of level0_Tools was largely translated (23 dialogs), probably by accident since since "Shipping mode" Oni cannot display them. By contrast, the Japanese level0_Tools is ''not'' localized, which is valuable since it gives us the original English used in each dialog. Out of the 70 tool WMDDs, only the following 14 "dialog_"s were modified by the Japanese localizers, and merely had their "Cancel" button replaced with "キャンセル":
+The German Mac version of level0_Tools has translated labels and buttons in 23 of its 70 dialogs, probably an accident on the part of the localizer since since "Shipping mode" Oni cannot display them. By contrast, the Japanese level0_Tools is less localized, which is valuable since it gives us the original English used in many dialogs. Out of the 70 tool WMDDs, only 18 dialogs were modified by the Japanese localizer, and 8 of those merely had their "OK"/"Cancel" buttons replaced with "OK" (in romaji) and "キャンセル" ("cancel" in katakana):<br> WMDDdialog_choose_flag<br>

 Apart from the localization, the Japanese level0_Tools offers better quality TXMPs than the German release in 91 textures out of 373: DOORLOCK, DOORLOCK2, and all those with prefixes DOOR_AIR, DOOR_MP, DOOR_SB, _DOOR_AIR_, _DOOR_DR_, _DOOR_HA_, _DOOR_MP_, _DOOR_PW_, _DOOR_PW2_, _DOOR_RL_, _DOOR_SB_, _DOOR_TC_, _DOOR_TC2_, _DOOR_Z_, A_GARAGE_, AIR_DK_, CON_SB_ (uncompressed storage rather than DXT1).
