Hello everyone. I'm going to start a translation for this game.
I extracted lang0.FPK using this tool; https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XYuZgy0zGBbR48tNy6oyC9ItmRGYFKGu/view?usp=sharing
And here I found the str_eng.str file with the dialogs in the game.
Then I converted the str_eng.str file to a txt file with the file here;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EGWQQpwncThPWbHrinwo1RrsK1ythcwU/view?usp=sharing
But when I package the files after editing, the language in the game never changes. Are the language files hidden somewhere else?
In the past, there were languages of other countries in the game. For example, this file; https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aNm6MvJye5V2xywGjViBcPwLgiFi-bn7?usp=sharing
But when I replace this file with the original one, the result is still the same.
Excuse me for my English. Smile

Much of the language in the game is in the executable.

how do I change the language?
https://www.gog.com/forum/sid_meiers_pirates/how_do_i_change_the_language

Only the original Retail Disk Game was multi language.

Steam & GOG versions may only be English only

Includes undocumented workaround info for original Retail Disk Game


The game detects the language in use by your Windows by looking at a setting found in your Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Change date, time, or number formats window.

Changing that entry will influence the game's language.

For example if you picked "Spanish (Spain)" you would play in spanish.

The setting takes place on the fly.
No need to reboot or log off and back on. And no need to touch anything in your game files. Just launch and play
