Hi :)
I recently got my hands back on my old CDs of Etherlords (1 and 2), both of them in french. I installed both games from the CDs and with GoG, and I tried to copy the data from the french installs to the GoG (english) ones, and the games still run perfectly well, but they're also now fully in french. I noticed one small inexactitude so far (the description of the orc shaman ability, my french version says "Rest. +1 Ether.", but the orc shaman's ability dispels enchantments, so it might be from an older patch).
So I was basically wondering, could these files be used to add french localization to the game on GoG ?
The way I did it isn't perfect (like with the example I mentioned), but it works as far as having the french voices and text in the campaign goes without problem :)
