This game may have a french title but it's certainly not french!

I'm playing it right now and it's all in english, every single menu!

KG: What exactly do you expect us to change for this game? We don't have the box scans but presumably that is all in French hence the name.

(Please don't take offence at this, I'm just asking what you think we should do!)

Well personally I feel the language field in HOL tells you the language of the game. Someone who only speaks French cannot play this game unless they know english.

If french is going to apply then HOL should have some uniformity. There is a 'german' version of Unreal, where the game is identical to the English version but the box is in german, yet there exists no german entry in HOL.

In that case I'll leave one of the others like Cody to answer this I think as I don't know enough about it!

Hehe, no probs mate. Didn't mean to disagree with ya, but in my ape shaped head it made no sense.

Ta for the image anyways, works perfectly

OK, let's clear this one, in fact ONLY the protection in this game is in FRENCH !

this is quite subtile, as i have both english and french box. The "french" game
is tied to the french manual, and the english one to the english manual.

Yeah I noticed. When you load the "French" version it asks for a manual check from the French manual, but it asks you in English. Genius.
