Legend of Kyrandia

Post by THKpositiv »

Hi

I have a problem with LOK.

I have the English/DOS Version of the game.It works very well on the newest "ScummVM 0.9.1".

But i need to change the language in german.
I can not switch it, when i add the Game to the ScummVM-gamelist.

What can i do?Is there a (easy) way?

Excuse my bad english :oops:

For most games, the language setting makes no difference: The game only contains one language. If there is a translated version, it's sold separately.

The CD version of The Legend of Kyrandia - the one I have at least - is different in that it does include English, German and French versions on the same CD, in the eng, ger and fre folders respectively. But only the text has been translated. The speech is still in English.

I don't have the floppy version of the game, so I don't know if that includes translations as well.

nope, Kyrandia 3 is not supported; runs great in DOSBox though.

ScummVM can play the music and movie cutscenes from it, but not much else at this time.

It says "Komplett auf englisch" there, which means it's just in English. You still could ask the seller to check...

Yes, it was included in the PC Action years ago and has English voice with German texts. Unfortunately, anything else...
