Save games in different languages

[Antwerpen]

Hello there, chaps. Is it possible to play russian version's save games on the english version? I mean, if I have the russian version and I send file to a person with english version, will it work? 'Cause I, with my russian version can freely use files, saved on english version. No bugs or CTD's at all, just the name of the cities in english, everything else in russian. So will everything be playable for an english-speaking person?

Never tried it. If it works one direction, it should work the other. Try it and let us know the outcome. Some others may welcome the news.

Well, the point is, as I said, that everything is in russian, but the city names, so I'm afraid that everything would be in russian except for city names. But' I'll try and reply here.

The display of the text is governed by the text files in your data\text directory, not by the save. My theory should be proven due to the fact that changes in any of these files are immediately visible in the game. Unlike descr_strat for instance which only gets read at the beginning of the game.

Summary: it will work
