civ II - change of language

[samspade]

I have CIV II in the German version. Since the translation is very lousy I would like to change it to the English version (the English files are all in the program), however I don't know how to achieve this. Can anybody help me?

english version

copy *.txt *.ger

Thank you very much indeed. I already forgot about the good old DOS, however the descriptions in Civilopedia are still in German although I have copied all *.pde to *.pdg and wordlist to germlist.
Any solutions for this - admittedly small - inconvenience?

Best regards.

hmm.. another possibility might be changing the language in the civ.ini in your windows diretory... there should be an option to switch it (say from 2 to 1 or so)

do you know when the first setting of that number is done? during the installation! you could also remove civ2 from your system and reinstall it, choosing english as the language

That's it!!! Language preference = 1.

Many thanks, your majesty!
