Build number: Not matter
Platform: Steam

Russian text has mistake:
В 6-м задании кампании Саладина “Лев и Демон” победите противников до того, как они начнут строить чудо света. (In the 6th mission of Saladin’s campaign “The Lion and the Demon” defeat the opponents before they begin to build a Wonder.)

But in this mission, the player must build a Wonder, AI even can’t build one.

In English version:
Defeat all opponents before constructing a Wonder in the sixth Saladin mission “The Lion and the Demon”

Good afternoon. The Steam indicates Russian as one of the available languages ​​for AoE II DE.
However, I can not choose the Russian language when installing the purchased game.
What could be the problem?

Huge thanks for listing out all of these issues, @TaKeZo2 ; I’ve written all of them up for investigation by our QA team!

As a note, I’m going to close out this thread now that we have everything written-up, but PLEASE do not let that stop you from submitting translation issues here in the bug category! Be sure to include the following information if you continue to see issues in the game that were not listed here:

  • The build number
  • The place where the issue can be found in-game
  • The text line (or “string”) in question
  • The English string (if possible)
  • The suggested change

I will continue to escalate this information to the team for review, and appreciate all of your help noting these issues! :heart:

Happy hunting!
