ISSUE EXPERIENCED
This is a collection of all language errors I found in the campaigns (except LotW and DotD because the campaign files are encrypted). All of the errors mentioned below concern every language except English. I found some of these errors by playing the campaings but in order to find every single error, I wrote a python script using KSneijders’ AoE2ScenarioParser. The script generates a log file (see attachments) with all the strings which have wrong or missig string IDs. Then I searched for the correct string IDs in key-value-strings-utf8.txt and created a list for every scenario. I also found a sound which is not translated.
Here is a list of all the affected scenarios and the corresponding error correction:

65335 “- <Variable 2>/8 Villagers given to the Priests.”
Alarich - 4
After destroying all castles and triggering the win condition, the text Athaulf says is correctly shown in the selected language, however the sound is played in English. Unfortunately, I don’t know if the sound file is missing or if this sound is not translated at all.
Trigger: [D7] Rome Taken
Effect: E#2
Sound event: Play_63317
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
- 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
For the text errors:
- select any other language than English
- play one of the before mentioned scenarios
For the sound error:
- select any other language than English
- play Alaric 4 and destroy all 12 castles to trigger the win condition
EXPECTED RESULT
Every text/sound should be displayed/played in the selected language.
