No. They don't. I created the format as an intermediate format for use by translators. Translators do their work in the XMSBT files to make collaboration easy, and the final work is then imported back into the MSBT files for the game.
Using XML directly in a game would be way too slow. MSBT files are optimized for speedy access to text data which reduces loading hiccups while a game is being played.

Are you sure it didn't work? I wrote the importer to only change labels that match. It doesn't add labels that don't exist if that's what you wanted it to do, at least not yet.
MSBT Editor Reloaded v0.9.4
- Implemented batch import and export for XMSBT files.
- Implemented label addition when using XMSBT import (batch included).
- Rearranged the menu bar slightly.
- Changed the shortcut keys because of adding more XMSBT tools.
- Added some new icons for the XMSBT functions.
- Fixed a bug with UMSBT extraction where the overwrite choice was being ignored.
You can now eagerly use this feature. As well as the added batch functionality.
I am trying to edit my 3ds power off screen with this program. But when I try to open sleep.lz it gives me "file provided is not a valid MSBT file." How do i fix this?
I've edited the home menu successfully awhile back. Now I need to do it again due to the new update, but I forgot how to open the files on MSBT.

You don't use this to edit the [something]_lz.bin, you just use this to decompress it, edit the contents, then compress it. If you want to edit the text, look for the .msbt file for your language.
The file appears to be compressed. Use Tools > LZ11 > Decompress on the file.
Then try opening it in the editor. If it still doesn't open, then the file is not an MSBT.
If it works, make your edits and save. Then compress the file again and be on your merry way.
I used your msbt editor to edit my melee.msbt file to add a bunch of text on my smash 4 mod, which worked fine
but then when I come back to add some more changes later, I get this error msg when trying to load up the .msbt file
The original melee.msbt file went from 192kb to 193KB dunno if that makes a difference
any ideas why?

@Mikesahhh: Please send me your modified melee.msbt so I can compare and figure out what's wrong. I have the original already.
I have no idea how ONE byte got corrupted in the file... but it did...
I've corrected it though and it appears to be working just fine. Check your PM box for the fixed version.
I also went over all of the code that deals with that specific byte and there seems to be nothing wrong at all. I even opened the fixed file and saved it as a new one, and they were identical...
Edit: I may have an idea... if you created the label with spaces in the name...then maybe this could have happened. Will test.
Edit 2: That was it! Bug located, patch incoming.

MSBT Editor Reloaded v0.9.5
- Added links to the GBAtemp thread as well as the GitHub page.
- Added new icons to support webpage links.
- Allowed users to drag the splitters between UI elements.
- Adjusted spacing between all UI elements to maximize screen real-estate.
- Patched label addition where new labels created with spaces in their names would have an invalid length and cause a broken MSBT file to be saved.
- Allowed other software to read (not write) the currently open MSBT file at the same time.
MSBT Editor Reloaded v0.9.5b
- Actually fixed the label length bug this time. Label renaming wasn't updating the length value.
I can't decompress a msbt.lz file, it keeps givin the message: "The provided stream is not a valid LZ-0x11 compressed stream (invalid type 0x50).
NWPlayer123 tweeted something out that is supposed to help, but I just can't figure out what she means or which tool she's using, do you mind helping me?
Her tweet:

"the .lz files are lz11/lz77, just decompress as standard lz11 at 0xC, there looks like two decompressed sizes and an lz13 wrapper before"

I would like to, but I don't understand how the LZ11 De/Compression works. I only kept it from exelix11's editor.
I can guess at what NWPlayer is talking about but it doesn't help me help you.
Search this thread for LZ11 posts as I recall this came up before and there was a resolution.
Thanks for the quick response!
From what I've found someone actually had the same error-message, but after this the conversation stopped.
Well, that makes NWPlayer123s tweet even more confusing to me..

a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released -
