multi language installations?

[ErichRommel]

Is it possible to install 2 different language versions of CIV5
on the same PC? When i use a different installation folder will there be
problems with patches or so?

I very much doubt that. Steam will handle you installation. Its more like iTunes for games. You have less control and I guess there will be only one install per computer - maybe some tech savvy people know a work around.

So my Windows installation was set to german. I changed that yesterday. You separately have to set the language in Steam. It was set to german and I also changed it to english yesterday. Then it downloaded like 10 GB of language packages for all the games I had installed.

I really would recommend installing the english version. The translation in Civ4 was so bad, that it lead to me not understanding some game concepts.

They better let me install it in english. I'm so mad at games which just will install in spanish... Why would they care if I prefer to play it in its original language?

Actually i need to install it in german cause my GF isnt that good at english
Anybody know if the german tech quotes are any good?

The game is automatically installed in 5 langauges (eng, fra, ita, spa, ger) for everyone

Hu? You definitely will need to choose which one to install..
You have 5 Options

You choose which language you want to use, but all langauges are installed.

I doubt that but would be nice.

If you preloaded the game, just look into the installation folder, files in 5 languages are all there already.

 

[ErichRommel]

Well the files are there of course but that doesnt mean they are geting installed.
Would be against any .msi multilanguage installation logic ^^

There is not any .msi installer, Steam works different.

In multilanguage games on Steam, you can choose the language before start the game. Just right-button , click on properties and has a tab for that. If you change from there the language you will need to download just the language part.

I use it on valve games and other multilangs. Im Spanish but prefer English audio.

Im Spanish but prefer English audio.

Then you'll love Civ5, because you can change audio and text there independently .

Nice, because usually have English audio and the gui and text in Spanish
