The splash screen is still in english, but the rest of the game will be converted.
..:: ADDITIONAL NOTES ::..
As opposed to the language files floating around the internet, this mod actually works.
The reason being, that you cannot simply take the language files from the official disc 2 of the original game and use with the GOG release.
The original files must be updated from 1.3 (retail) to 1.7 (official patch).
Updating using the official patch, requires the game to be installed on the system, hence you will need the original discs/ISO's.
..:: SUPPORTED LANGUAGES ::..
Enjoy this classic pearl in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish or Swedish.
..:: REQUEST ::..
I initially created a Danish patch, but figured I would just upgrade the patcher to support all the languages of the language disc.
There is additionally a Japanese version out there, however I don't have the disc to acquire the language files.
If anyone is in posession of the Japanese game disc, I would be interested in the 1.7 updated language files if you can supply them. I will be happy to add them to the patcher.
..:: CHANGELOG ::..
1.0 (A) - Danish language pack only.
1.0 (B) - Multilanguage pack containing Danish, Dutch, French, Italian, Polish, Spanish or Swedish.
1.1 - Multilanguage pack updated with the German language files.
Have fun with version 1.1, now supporting German as well.
Thanks for the file - the Polish version is really great and was kinda sad to see it not being available on GOG.
At least DK1 have more languages by default...
You are welcome. Yes I was likewise saddened by not having the option to play it in Danish (my native language), as it's likewise a great experience.
I initially made a Danish only pack, but thought it was better for everyone, to just include all languages instead.
I still keep an eye out for the Japanese version so I might add it, although it seems both rare and expensive. There also seems to be a Chinese version.
You are correct about DK1. Also a great game for sure.
