Has there ever been a French language retail release of Thief Gold?

I noticed two releases of the first Thief in France: The original version and a "Premier Collection" re-release featuring the cover artwork commonly associated with Thief Gold. My question is: Does the Premier Collection actually contain the Gold version or is it merely the original version (minus the thieves' den, the mage towers and the opera house levels)?

Hello .o/

As far as I know, there never was an official french release of Thief Gold.
There is however an unofficial french translation patch for Thief Gold, here: http://www.dxm.be/navigator.php5?lang=fr&content=204
The Eidos Premier editions in general were Thief Gold. http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/thief-gold/cover-art

Can't tell on the language localization you saw, though.

Thanks for your reply! :)
Notez qu’a la base, Thief Gold n’est jamais sorti en Français
I guess that makes it official then. A shame really, I loved the French versions of Thief 1 and 2 and I was hoping that Thief Gold also got an official French version - voice work and all.

That's what I figured as well. However, although the French Premier edition looks identical to the British and German big boxes, but both of those had some indication that it includes an extended version (the British version is called "Thief Gold", the German version "Dark Project: Director's Cut"). The French version doesn't say that, so I was wondering if it was just a rerelease of the vanilla version of Thief.

J'ai cette version et, comme indiqué dessus, c'est juste "Dark Project" et non la version Gold.
