Ok,I have a bit of a problem.My version of diablo II (and Lod too) are both french and I hate it,it is translated quite poorly..as an example, the trap to the sewers in act 2 is translated like it was a "booby trap".. I wondered if there is a way to make a chance so it actually use the english text..and if yes,if it would still work in the realms?

Not sure if this works on realms - I'm not even interested in them to be honest, but try to simply overwrite the english string.tbl / Expansionstring.tbl / patchstring.tbl over the french ones.This at least works for me. A second way would be a different D2lang.dll. This modded file only contains a different path than the original french one. It works to switch german language to english...and spanish to english too so my guess is that it works for french => english as well. If your interested in the file just shoot me a mail. Hope that helped....european translations are really poor.

sent you an e-mail. thanks for the help,both of you =] and yes,european translations are very poor..and the bad thing is that Blizzard release the translated and the integral version at the same time,so the store I go to only has the french version..I'm not sure if it's like that in english too,but the voices from npcs that came back in act 5(like cain) aren't the same in lod.Cain sounds more like a pervert than ever with his new voice..

Yes you can! I did it. U simply need to change your d2lang.dll for an english d2lang.dll (In your Diablo2 Folder). Ask a friend or a guy to give you his d2lang.dll. All the text will be in english and you wont have any problems. Do the same for the d2speech.dll (The voices). Taadaa! Une beele version anglaise de Diablo2! Tu n'a plus qu'a te familiarisé avec les nouveaux mots (sa m'as pris 1 semaine et demi environ).
