Foreign language instructions

[leggey]

I don't know about anyone else, 'cause I haven't seen any comments, but some of the header comments about the scenario are not in English. Marias Pass, for instance, is in German. Others are in French. Of course, this means that I cannot understand what I have to do...

I have got the retail boxed Aussie version with SP1.
Anyone else got the same problem???

Upon reading other similar posts I found that it is a known issue and may or not be addressed in an upcoming service pack.

Hope this help,

Hi,

Anyone else got the same problem???

I guess there are lots of people with a similar problem - lots of the instructions are in English - which isn't their first langauge so they have to struggle to understand them as well.

It's one of the problems of an Internationally sucessful product - people create routes and scenarios in their own language. These become popular and are available (via DLS or otherwise) to everyone.

It is possible for the creator to add the different languages in files, however, that requires a good working knowledge of railway terms in several languages - not very likely. The cost of a professional translator would be prohibitive.

I look on it as an opportunity to try to learn a little bit more French/German/Spanish ....

Happy 2009,

You can always use Bablefish or Google Translator.

Solution is on DLS

Auran have supplied the corrected English language versions for these sessions.

Go to the DLS, tick check box 2009 (turn all the others off), select radio button Title, type Intro in the text search dialogue box then click Search...

... and voila (pardon the French) - there are 17 to download. They will replace your existing non English instruction versions.

They're not that bad! Australians drive on the correct side of the road (mostly) - same as us.

It just looks like the other side because it's upside-down from here.

Aren't all steering wheels on the left? Whenever I rent a car they always seem to be on the left.
