Language strangeness
So yesterday I tried to edit one of the xml files for the Indonesia/Khmer DLC and *some* of the language in the game switched to something else... German I believe (prinz difficulty). It did not change the entire game, just some of the stuff that represents options when setting up a game, such as difficulty, start era, speed, map type, and map size. Not all options are translated, such as the Ruleset drop down, which is fine and so is the descriptive text for the Game Modes that popups up to the right or in a popup in the Advanced screen. In the Advanced Setup screen he label for Speed is Spieltempo and Map Size is KartengroBe, but all the other labels are in English. But in the normal setup screen, those labels are fine and only the drop down options are in German. In the game startup, the first two leader paragraphs are English and the abilities are in German. The Benchmark window in-game is German as is much of the HUD text.
I undid my DLC edit but the language wonkiness remained. I then tried all of the following with game restarts in the order listed with no effect:
Set the language to something (I think I used French, later tried German as well) and then back to English.
Disabled all unofficial mods (Most of the text elements in the Mod screen are also in German)
Checked the save file area and the only recent file update (outside of game saves) is the HallOfFame.sqlite file)
Uninstalled the Indonesia/Khmer DLC and later reinstalled
Verified all game files (which reverted only a single file... a previous edit to AdvancedSetup.lua that I have used since 2019)
Uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game
Still the game shows partial foreign language text. :( Anyone have any idea what is going on here or where to tweak it so I can run the game again.
