Hi there,
it seems that the GOG-Version of Pirates! GOLD is a multilingual. So it's possible to play the game also in other (supported) languages. Unfortunately I can't remember all of them, but beside English I tested German and Frensh and works fine.
To do this, you have to edit the file "dosboxPGOLD.conf". You'll find it under "{Your Installationfolder of the Pirates Pack}\Pirates GOLD\dosboxPGOLD.conf".
Open the file with notepad and scroll down to the following entry:
...
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
@echo off
mount C .
imgmount D ".\DATA.DAT" -t iso
C:
cls
D:
CALL PIRATESG.BAT
exit
Now delete this line
CALL PIRATESG.BAT
and replaced it with these lines
cd piratesg.cd
lh cdpatch %1
piratesg %2 %3 %4 %5
cdpatch x
cd ..
Be aware not to delete "exit" in the last line!
After that type the following letter for your prefered language behind "piratesg" in the third replaced line
f.E.
piratesg f %2 %3 %4 %5
(as you can see there's added an "f" for Frensh")
or
piratesg g %2 %3 %4 %5
(and here "g" for German)
Maybe there are some other supported languages. Just try it out for yourself.
Hope it helps somebody.
