Selecting language
Welcome to my guide!

Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood is an old game, and as with many old games, it needs some configuration before you can play properly. As the Store page promises, Robin Hood comes in four different languages: English, German, French and Spanish.

To select your preferred language, simply Right-click with your mouse on the game in your Steam Library and select Properties.



Then, switch to Languages tab and there, select your preferred language from the drop-down menu:



That's it. When you launch the game now, it will have the language you selected.
Other languages
Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood was also translated into other languages, but sadly neither Steam nor GOG offer these languages, therefore you need modding. Changing Robin Hood's language is simple, basically you need the language files you want, then you have to place them into the game directory. Finally, you need to delete or rename the english folder, named "2047" to anything else, for example "2047-1". Then the game will load any other language files present in the game's directory.

There are some guides dealing with the Polish language, so you can check those in the guides. As for my fellow Czech players, I have created a simple installer which will do all the work for them. The next section will be in Czech.
Čeština
Pro ostatní České hráče jsem vytvořil jednoduchý instalátor, který udělá veškerou práci za Vás. Nejdřív se ujistěte, že máte hru v angličtině, viz. obrázkový návod na začátku. Poté stačí spustit instalátor, který:
- Veškeré texty a dabing přepne do češtiny
- Změní vzhled textu na původní, lepší
- Lze kdykoliv snadno odinstalovat

Proper Text Font
There is also a different text font in the Steam version of the game. No idea why the Steam version uses this one, but the original Font is much better.

There is already a guide dealing with changing the Font, and you can also check the screenshots posted in this guide (you don't need russian, the images are in english):
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=432645606

The process is very simple, you download the Fonts from the provided link in that guide, then you copy the Fonts folder into the game folder.

Alternatively, you can also download my Czech language installer (see section above), which installs the fonts too, but then you have to navigate into the game folder and rename the folder "2047_EN" into "2047", otherwise your game would load in Czech. Renaming the folder will cause the game to load in English.
Tips
The game's native resolution is 1024x768. The game might look weird on today's 1080p (or higher) displays. If your display offers to change resolution from 16:9 to 4:3, use it while you play, it will make your game look better.
You can also play the game in a window, or try using emulating software, but your results may vary.

However, when the game is installed, it defaults to only 800x600 resolution, so the first thing you should do is to go into the ingame Settings -> Graphics, and change the resolution to 1024x768.



That's all, enjoy!

Ahoj, snad si to ještě někdy přečteš, ale mám problém s tvým instalátorem češtiny.
I po jeho instalaci mi hra běží v angličtině...mohl by jsi se na něj podívat?

Ahoj, vše uděláno dle návodu a čeština je bez diakritiky... tyto dvě složky tam jsou Fonts a Fonts_EN ... nějak nevím kde hledat zakopaného psa..

I'm trying to run the game on MacOS Mojave (10.14), and all seems good but the language is stuck to Deutsch. Steam settings show the language is set to English. I tried to find some config in the files to change it manually, however was unable to find anything. Does anybody know any trick to make it run in English?

Tak nakonec jsem nalezl řešení, jak implementovat češtinu i performance fix.

1) nainstalovat češtinu podle návodu
2) vygooglit, stáhnout a rozbalit program dgVoodoo 2 do adresáře steamapps/common/Robin Hood
3) ze složky "MS" zkopírovat soubory a vložit do hlavního adresáře Robin Hood
4) spustit dgVoodooCpl.exe a v záložce DirextX zaškrtnout 'Fast video memory access'
5) potvrdit a zavřít program
6) spouštět hru už normálním způsobem - vše v češtině včetně diakritiky a bez FPS dropů

Díky moc za návod! Nicméně mi taktéž nefunguje diakritika. Je možné, že dělá neplechu performance fix? bez něj je pro mne hra nespustitelná.

královrah. Diakritika potřebuje abys používal font který umí české znaky. Můj instalátor je obsahuje. Zkusil jsem teď instalovat hru na Steamu a pak instalovat obsah mého instalátoru, a mám hru česky i s diakritikou a správným fontem, takže chyba bude někde u tebe.

Mrkni se do Steam\steamapps\common\Robin Hood\DATA\Interface, tam jsou uložené fonty. Po aplkaci mého instalátoru by tam měly být dvě složky, Fonts a Fonts_EN.

Fabry911 and sid.sethi91. So you install the game on Steam, start the game, it is in German? Beucase I installed the game now, but my game installed in English by default.

Češtinu jsem si dle návodu nainstaloval, ale veškeré texty postrádají znaky s diakritikou, což je při čtení pergamenů docela matoucí. Dá se s tím něco dělat?

I have the same issue as Fabry911. Any help?
Fabry911 24 May, 2019 @ 1:36pm
