Hello JA friends

I wanted to play Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 again with a mod before Ja3. I searched for a current German version and found one from 23.01.2023 (JA2 1.13 BETA GERMAN (Gr_3985dca) (Dr_12282d2)). Fortunately, I could hardly believe what my ears heard there. The voice output of the additional mercenaries such as Moses, Boss and Mouse is actually in German. I still can't believe that they were sychronized in German after all these years. Thanks a lot! In the older versions and mods (e.g. JA2 1.13(7609) Deidranna Lives v4.50.1 GER) a lot was "denglich" (German and English mixed) and it never felt good.

Native English speakers are lucky that almost every game comes out in their native language. They don't have to worry about that. I don't know if these players can put themselves in the position that everyone else has to go without that luxury and learn another language. Imagine if tomorrow only games would be released in German. It just destroys the immersion if you can't play in your native language. I want to concentrate on the game and not have to translate it all the time. I hope you can understand what I am talking about.

Since it's hard to find a working German version of Ja2 1.13 nowadays, especially with all the mods, I thought I'd try to replace the language files of an older version like 1.13(7609) with the beta files from 01/23/2023. And indeed it worked. Kaboom, Leech and Co. don't speak English anymore. Well partially at least. After some trial and error, the voice output seems to be completely in German as far as I have tested. But many of the texts, which were already translated in older versions, are unfortunately still in English.

As you probably know, you can quickly destroy your game files. If you replace the wrong files it doesn't work as it should, crashes or doesn't start at all. That's why I need help from someone who knows the file structures better than I do. I would like to have as much in the game in German as possible but I am aware that there is not a German translation for everything. I have overwritten the following files:

Data:
AltSound
battlesnds
Mercedt
NPC_Speech
NPCData
Sounds
Speech
stsounds
titesets

Data-1.13
battlesnds
Mercedt
NPC_Speech
NpcData
Speech
titesets

Data-UB
battlesnds
Mercedt
NPC_SPEECH
NpcData
Sounds
Speech
titesets

I am not an expert and don't know which files in the Ja2 folder are responsible for the voice output as well as the text output. Which ones should be overwritten and which ones not. The SLF files (such as SPEECH.SLF and GERMAN.SLF) don't seem to be present in the 1.13 beta of 01/23/2023. At least I have not found any.
Does anyone know the exact files that are responsible for the speech and text output and could write me a listing as an answer? I would be really happy if someone would support me. I also think that it would help many other players who want to translate their respective versions into their languages. If something is still unclear, please ask me.
