I installed Dino Crisis and Alice Madness Returns with a French setup, either on Steam Deck under SteamOS or PC under Windows (ISO FR). Once it’s finished, I launch a game, I see that the game is in English, not in French. I tried adding LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 %command% to "arguments in Lutris but that doesn’t change anything. the same for Alice

I know that the games support different languages ​​like French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and there are ways to change a language with an .ini file for Steam or .info for Gog but I don’t know how to change a language with files with these two games

    Alright I might be an idiot. I bought Alice, spent forever trying config edits, registry edits (locale registry for it is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\EA Games\Alice Madness Returns btw), and no matter what I did the game either would launch in english or not launch at all. And then I tried just setting the game’s language to “French” in the steam properties for the game, and it worked, booted in french.

    So yeah, that’s all you need to do probably.

    As for Dino Crisis, I don’t own it, so I can’t troubleshoot it directly.

      I can confirm that the Alice game is indeed in French if I put “French” in the steam properties. At least now I can play on Alice. Thanks for your help

      Apparently, Dino Crisis ( GOG version ) has different setups for each language instead of having a single setup for all languages. That’s why it doesn’t work with the configurations (maybe?)
