Title: fs2-open linux language setting
Post by: enclume on April 25, 2015, 11:28:46 am
Hi
Recently, I've discovered it's possible to change language (to french for exemple) in the windows version of freespace 2 by using win regedit.
I've searched a lot on this forum and elsewhere but I did'nt find how I can  play with the french version of fs2_open on linux.
Is there a command line option, or files to modify?
If language setting is windows only, I'm wondering if a patch exist to modify this behavior.
Thanks a lot

Settings stored in the registry on Windows go to a config file on other platforms. Should be located at ~/.fs2_open/fs2_open.ini on *nix and ~/Library/FS2_Open/fs2_open.ini on Mac OS.

Thank you!

In fact, on Linux, we have to add

Language=french

to [Default] section of ~/.fs2_open/fs2_open.ini

Now, I can play to last fsport with french text.

That could be very useful to find this in the wiki!

Done (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Installing_FreeSpace_2_Open#Language_Setup), but note that there's a lot of near duplicate pages, I'm not sure I got them all :)
