I bought HoI II on Ebay from a German, i asked him what the langauge of the game was, and he said the manual was in German and the game in English, it's not. The manual is in German, but that doesn't bother me. THE GAME IS IN GERMAN, and i can't speak german!!!


How can i change the langauge of the game?

Open settings.txt in the mainfolder( /programfiles/paradox interactive/hearts of iron 2/) and change the language settings to 0

I don't know how to exactly, i opened that file, but what i see is:
Langauge: (0=English 1 = French etc...)
What do i do, note that the "etc." is really there.

First, make a copy of settings.txt. Then open settings.txt with wordpad and change the first line to this:

0 #LANGUAGE (0=english, 1 = french etc..)


Then you will have the english version of HOI2.

Good luck :)

You've been very thankfull so far, but one issue though.
I'll explain in detail:
Before i edited, it was: 4#LANGAUGE (0=English, 1 = French etc..)
When i change it to: 0#LANGAUGE (0=English, 1 = French etc ..)
I get no text at all.

Is their some other "combination" i should try?

Thx you.

I think you need space between 0 and language. Copy&paste this line:

0 #LANGUAGE (0=english, 1 = french etc..)


See if that works.
 
Maybe it is becuse you shuld edit "settings.cfg" not "settings.txt".
Check so that there is english is avilble in ...HoI 2\config\text.csv .

Maybe spelling "Language" correctly would do the trick....... :rofl:
 
Let's play nice.
