"Unknown language '1031' specified in the environment variable LANG or LANGUAGE. Known languages:
English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish
Use SET LANG=language to select language."
What have I to do??
Must I set a Number in LANG or must I set LANG=GERMAN ???

You must set LANG to GERMAN, not a number.

If you have a recent enough version (I forget which version fixed this), you should be able to set a proper ISO language code, such as "de" or "de_DE".

But GERMAn will work in _every_ version??

What version do you have?
I just consider it incorrect to reference languages by their English names in such contexts.

I have the same problem but i don't understand where the LANG variable is. Where is this settable?

run command.com (or cmd in XP) and enter there SET LANG=xxx (where xxx is language you want)
if you want to check it run SET (without any parameter)

This will only set the variable for that shell (command/cmd window) so you will have to run ttdpatch from it.
To set it permanently on dos/windows 95/98/me add the line
to c:\autoexec.bat and restart windows. (Backup the file before doing it)
On NT/2000/XP you can set environment variables in control panel/system/advanced/environment variables (
http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/howto-04.html).
To check the setting run SET as described by SHADOW-XIII.
You can also create ttdp.bat (or any name ending with .bat) file in ttd directory with two lines:
and run the game with that file instead of ttdpatchw.exe if you don't want to make changes in system configuration.
