Dutch is not officially supported by the game (you can see in [Steam page languages section](https://store.steampowered.com/app/813780/Age_of_Empires_II_Definitive_Edition/)).

You can see english version of texts in “AoE2DE\resources\en\strings\key-value\key-value-strings-utf8.txt”. Modding info is in “key-value-modded-strings-utf8.txt” file in same folder. It is possible to translate them, but like you can see, there are a lot of texts and so this is really a lot of work.

It might be possible to create a program, which translates textual parts of string file to dutch using Google Translate API. You can’t translate whole file using API, because it has things, which should not be translated, like “\<ORANGE\>”, etc. Google Translate does not do perfect job though.

Maybe your wife could use this game for learning english. Would be helpful 😃
