Inspired 37 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hey, I was wondering - does anyone happen to have a Swedish version of Sacred Underworld by any chance? And if someone has it, could you, please, upload the global.res file from it, which can be found in the "scripts" subfolder of the main game folder? Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hello. I don't believe there is a Swedish localization. My research turned up German, English, French, & Russian languages for Sacred 1. 1 Link to comment
Inspired 37 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks for the reply Flix! I had also thought that there was no Swedish localization initially but then I discovered a couple of things that made me think there could be one: 1. Turns out Sacred was translated into a whole bunch of languages besides those you mentioned. For example, Italian, Polish, Hungarian and a few others. Not sure whether those were official localizations but the translations do exist and it doesn't really matter to me anyway whether the Swedish localization is official or not if it also exists. 2. There's a Quickstart.pdf file in my Sacred Gold Steam folder that contains the keyboard shortcuts info for the game in English and in a few other languages, including Swedish. That's an official document from Ascaron so I guess it suggests that even an official Swedish localization might exist after all. 1 Link to comment
chattius 2,523 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 A lot of games had keyboard layouts with overlayed shortcuts you could print and lay beside your keyboard. Some games used keypress code and not ascii code. So with a german QWERTZU keyboard you had to press Z for the Y in game, the german german and the swiss german keyboard are identical except the swiss has a . on the numberpad and the german one a , Lot of frustrating little differences in international keyboard layouts. I think I still have a printed keyboard shortcut for a game which you could glue on the keyboard from good old Amiga times. 1 Link to comment

I thought it was a long shot that the Swedish localization existed and that someone from Sweden still had the game and read the forum here after all these years but oh well, I had to try asking Thanks for the input anyway! 1 Link to comment
