OpenMV Translation question

Post by elsterben »

Hello!

Thank you very much for this project, it's really great that it works perfectly. I had no issues with installation or running it.
However, i have not a problem but a question: in the settings/preferences of the launcher i can change an in-game language (since i'm Russian i chose russian). So does this mean that openMW has a localization of the game in it and i can change the language that will be in-game straight from the launcher?
Just curious about it. If it so, it's even better then i expected. Thanks!

No, it means that you just tell OpenMW which language your ESM-files use, so the engine can decode them properly.
For example, if you install a russian translation from 1C (which use the win1251 encoding) but tell OpenMW that your game files use the Deutch language (win1252 encoding), you will get a garbage output with a lot of umlaut characters.
