Comment:

 I'm sorry, but adding support for another language is no easy matter. When
 I added support for German, it took over a month of work to do so. At the
 very least, each and every movie filename was different in the German
 version, so I had to spend time reversing the German game executable
 enough to identify them. Likewise, sounds were different, and the parser
 had extra logic for handling differences in the German language. That's
 why I haven't worked on adding support for the rare French version.. it
 takes a lot of work, for a release very few people are likely to have.

 I may revisit adding support for these other languages if GOG can secure
 the right to distribute them, since at least there'll be an easy way for
 people to purchase it. So you could either try to petition GOG to obtain
 the rights to distribute them (Russian and/or French), or find someone
 willing to work on adding support for them.. I'll be happy to provide an
 IDB of the English version on request for anyone interested in working on
 support.
