Thank you

You were right to be cautious. The following is a post from Patric:-

Europa Universalis UK 1.08 update
This update only works with the version of the game distributed by KOCH distribution in the united Kingdom. The box will have a Koch logo.

Europa Universalis Swedish, Norwegian, Danish 1.08 update
Will only work with the Swedish stand-alone and the multilingual, Scandinavian versions published by Vision Park.

Europa Universalis German 1.08 update
Will only work with the German version published by Blackstar Interactive.

Europa Universalis North American 1.08 update
Will only work with the English version published by Strategy First.

Other versions of the game

Polish version published by Coda ships with interim build of 1.08.

Benelux (English) version published by Blackstar Interactive ships with version 1.07.

So, it appears that you need the Benelux version if it is already version 1.07 or the German patch if not. As your version is in English then I would go for the Benelux Patch.

I bought the game in Holland, and on the cd stood english version.
I tried both the UK and BEN versions and they didnt work. The german one did worked but everything was now in german. I replaced the text.csv to the english one and now i've got version 1.08 installed and the game is in english.
