Well, it might be better to copy it to another file and give it the name of the lagnuage, then translate. If there isn't already a way to select a different language to run the game in, I'm sure there soon will be.

That is basically it, yes. You then have to rebuild the english.lng file with the strgen.exe tool. Please note that the game only reads english.lng files, it doesn't try to read anything else.

(Please also note that english.lng should actually be called american.lng)

I imagine there will be a fix that provides a drop-down somewhere for you to select the language, which will be based on the .lng files that are present. That'd be relatively simple to do, and much better than having to compile the file and giving them all the same name :?

I'm sure it won't be too difficult. All in good time...

Each language file should be called something more appropriate (e.g. ISO language codes) in any case. Put this down as something to do later. :)

In the meantime i prepared a language changing device(soft)
only for duch you will need to translate the duch.txt and then only click on duchlang.bat it will install new and backup the old language.

read comment in zip file for more information.
