Ok here the thing :

I got a french version of Shadows of Amn, and I wanted to play ToB so I went and looked for ToB in french. Since I couldnt find it, I decided to buy a new copy of SoA in english and a copy of ToB in english.

I probably will not get my new version for another week or two so I was wondering : can I start a new char with my french version, then pull out the save game and import it in the version english once I receive and install it and CONTINUE my game where I left it, or am I gonna have language issues when I try reloading the game in a different language, or the core files are not affected by language ?



Thx

I'm guessing it'll be OK, everything should sit in dialog.tlk. What you could also do is find a copy of the ToB dialog.tlk file in French. People will still talk in english, but the text will be french.

A greater danger is possibly that the new install won't have the same mods as your old one?

I think it should be fine. I have the Spanish version of both, but few years ago I wanted to check the English text (Spanish voices are amazing, but the text is out of format and ridden by translation mistakes), so I kinda mixed everything and it worked just fine. You can move the saved games around through different versions, so you shouldn't have any troubles.

If I recall correctly, it's also possible to apply foreign language patches to English installations and vice versa. Since the patch replaces the old dialog.tlk file, theoretically you'd end up retaining the original install—but with the rather obvious exception of foreign language text strings.

Could be an interesting (and potentially disastrous) experiment. :P

Thx to everybody for their imput, very much appreciated.

If you did it with Spanish to english, I guess there is nothing wrong with doing it from french to english hehe thats the best situation I could have asked for.

My game is not modded, just patched so thats not an issue. I got a pretty good idea that it would work when I got shadowkeeper for test sakes and it worked out perfectly, even though shadowkeeper is not scripted in french.
