I have a solution. But it requires 010 HEX Editor.
Here's BMS script for export a import with using reimport3_localizations.bat.
Note: You must do re-import on original file. If you do reimport on already modified file then it will fail.

Code:

####################################
idstring "Asura   "
get MAGIC long
get FILESIZE long
getdstring FLAG 0x8
get STRCOUNT long
getdstring UNK 0xC

for i = 0 < STRCOUNT
   get CRC long
   get STRLEN long
   math STRLEN *= 2
   savepos STROFF
   getdstring TEXT STRLEN
   slog "" STROFF STRLEN unicode
next i

And here 010 Script for fixing file after re-import.

Code:

//------------------------------------------------
//--- 010 Editor v11.0.1 Script File
//
//      File: 
//   Authors: 
//   Version: 
//   Purpose: 
//  Category: 
//   History: 
//------------------------------------------------
local uint FileCount,Hash,StrLen,StrOffset,StrLenOffset,Value,Size,Filesize,RefTextEnd,TempCount,RefTextSize,i;

FSeek(24);
FileCount=ReadUInt(FTell());
FSeek(40);
for(i=0;ilocal struct {
        Hash=ReadUInt(FTell());
        FSkip(4);
        StrLenOffset=FTell();
        StrLen=ReadUInt(FTell());
        Value=StrLen 1;
        Size=1;
        WriteUInt(StrLenOffset,Value);
        FSkip(4);
        StrOffset=FTell();
        FSkip(StrLen*2);
        InsertBytes(StrOffset StrLen*2,2,0);
        FSkip(2);
}TextTable;
RefTextEnd=FTell();
TempCount=FileCount*8;
RefTextSize=RefTextEnd-TempCount-40;
FSeek(0);
Filesize=FileSize()-12;
WriteUInt(12,Filesize);
WriteUInt(32,RefTextSize);
FileSave();

Open re-imported file in 010 HEX Editor and run Script on it.
Also edit *.txt files preferably in NP for maintain code page.

EDiT: Updated 010 script. Now it writes one value correctly. "WriteUInt(32,RefTextSize);"

Huge thanks for not working tool. This happens when import. Also there is some leftovers from uexp which is unreal engine thing.

It's Turkish and it means Not found!

He said if h3x3r looks the source codes, h3x3r will understand the situation.
