I don't know how many of us will use the italian version, anyway I'm starting this thread just in case Take2 or others users care of these minor bugs only related to italian version of the game.
Others threads already are around main graphics problem, crashes and all kind of international trouble. I want to focus this thread on glitches included in our language version (mainly XML files with typo in italian text, or XML syntax error added just for us
).
I suggest any player with this kind of problems to look at XML files (text files, at their root), you can find under MyGames subdirectories.
I've found and correct a couple of problem inside "Civ4GameTextInfos.xml" files.
What I've found and done so far:[list=1][*]The mouseover about cities production show a silly [NUM5:turno:turni text about production turns left to finish the item;[*]At "Forme di governo" screen (Civics) Libertà religiosa show a double "per" near the smile in effects text;[*]At "Civiltà più grandi" pop-up screen (Largest civilization top ten) we find double adjective text also when gender is not an issue (e.g. mediocre:mediocre is the same for a male or a female leader);[/list=1]
You can correct these by yourself, just following instructions below.
Warning: Please make a backup copy of the file you are about to modify: if you corrupt it you must reinstall the game.
[list=1][*]Open the Civ4GameTextInfos file using an editor (Open with notepad/blocco note or wordpad will be fine). Find [NUM5:turno:turni text and add the square bracket (parentesi quadra chiusa) is missing at the end of the line (check other languages correct syntax the line below the italian) - save the file;[*]Open the Civ4GameTextInfos file using an editor. Find "Libertà religiosa" and cut the "per" word in excess - save the file;[*]Open the Civ4GameTextInfos file using an editor. Find "mediocre:mediocre" and related list; remove the unnecessary adjectives and leave just one of it for "grande", "eccellente" ecc. as others languages version show (you know italian grammar, do you? - save the file;[/list=1]
Of course you can do all the changes in a single session, if you want. Just do it with the game closed and start Civ 4 to check XML file is ok now.
If you have found others "italian version" problems (with or without "do-it-yourself" solution), please post them here for italian community.
Thank you in advance.

Since it's possible to change the game language from the option menu, it's all about changing the "tech quote" speaking files... so this instructions can work for every player that want to switch from a language to another one provided by the game.
