Steam version is English only!!!

If you open your steam games tab r click on the SH5 select properties the last tab has an option to select which language to play in.
TRY THAT it may work...I will later but I need to get some other things sorted on this

I just did that. There are a number languages available. This probably changes UI and everything else to German. I only want voices, just like in the press preview. I gave it a shot and it started downloading something...

+++ Edit: Yes, it changes EVERYTHING to German. Not what I want. Back to English, then I try to copy the German voices from the preview DVD I have.

Then copy the german voice files now to an extra directory (as described above) download it in english again and overwrite the files or activate the german speech with JSGME.

Where's the problem?!

D2D version doesn't have them "on disc", but probably in the data2.cab which doesn't open normally. Anyone know what opens that file?

I think you can open it/extract everything in it with WinRar, not sure though.

Steam not having the option, now that is scandalous...

No Winrar or Winzip or anything didn't open D2D Cab files. It must be a ubi proprietary format.

The installation asking for voices and keyboard preference is very poor programming. Why not just make it an in-game option. I have to reinstall to get them, wth! I hate to say it but I'm coming to the conclusion these people are pretty brainless.

Likely the suits didn't realize that German/English voices is actually a feature and not simply a nationalization issue. Not all German gamers want German voices and not all English gamers want English voices, which is the normal assumption made in software deployment.

If the worst comes to it then I guarantee you that Subsim members will happily provide you with a German language mod package.

Great minds think alike - I just thought of it myself. I also decided to keep the intro video in German.
