There is German localisation in the files, but I do not know how complete it is.

Click to expand...

Open settings.txt in C:\....\Paradox Interactive\Victoria 2

And change this

Code:

gui=
{
[COLOR="lime"]language=l_german[/COLOR]
}
graphics=
{
size=
{
	x=1920
	y=1080
}

to this

Code:

gui=
{
[COLOR="Lime"]language=l_english[/COLOR]
}
graphics=
{
size=
{
	x=1920
	y=1080
}

About the german version of this game:
Well, incomplete
But try this fix: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=492225
It contains more than 250 fixes concerning the german translation of Victoria 2

So, plz King or someone else: include these fixes in your next Victoria 2 patch...

Thanks for your help, guys.

However, I'm afraid it's not working for me. I still get everything in German (and what a sloppy German localisation that is. Paradox ought to have a word with whomeve's responsible.). Anyone got an idea what I ought to try next?

Right click on the file/Save as.

Then move this file into your Victoria 2 folder/localisation.

And it has been updated now too. It contains 350 fixes now...

But I don't want to play it in German anyway. I prefer playing the original version. Thanks though.

Then make it not write protected.
right click on the file, click on Properties (Eigenschaften in german)
and click the write protected thing away.

Then try it again.
However, i dont see how your file became write protected
maybe Windows is messing around in the program files folder.

Right-click on settings.txt and open as Administrator

For future installs: Do never ever install games in the program files folder.

The translations that PI does, are ridiculous and not acceptable.
