Yes, I suppose you can do that. It would be a big job, tho. The dialog files are in the PotC/PROGRAM/DIALOGS/ folder. Note that there are a lot of bits of dialogs that are not in the dialog.h files so you should also check the dialog.c files as well.

Of course, you might also get the English language files to the game from someone, but I do not know if they are the same as the Russian language files. They *should* be, but ???

Perhaps someone who knows can answer that

Hope this helps! And again, welcome aboard! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

I believe that the Russian version might have most if not all of the files locked up to prevent them from being hacked. This might only be for the games that have had the Russian patches installed that were never released in English due to the Akella/Disney/Bethsof problems.

Some of the Russian modders like Morgan and AlexusB have unlocked some of the files and passed them onto us via NathanKell and they are in the Build.

If you are using an unpatched Russian installation and if you can enter into the PROGRAM folder and see and open the files there and in the subdirectories there then you might be able to install the Build.
The Build mod should overwrite most if not all of the dialog files.

If this works then most of the dialog would be changed into English and hopefully you will be able to understand the dialog.
