New description:
The Rhem SE Series (I, II, III, and IV) on Steam give the following
detection strings when I add them to ScummVM 2.6.0git (current master):
RHEM SE titles I, II and III can only be installed in English language
(there's no option at installation time). The user can select another
language, after installation, when launching the game for the first time
and seemingly ''never'' again(!) Changing the language from that one-off
menu does not seem to change the MD5 detection for ScummVM for these
games. Available languages are English, German, French, Italian, Polish
and Russian.
RHEM IV SE is available ''to install'' via Steam in English, German,
French, Italian and Polish, but the ScummVM detection string does not seem
to differ for each installation option. There's also a language
configuration option (again for RHEM IV SE only) from Steam's menu (right
click on game -> Properties -> Language) but that does not seem to affect
anything (does not re-install the game to the target language, or change
the language in-game). ''Language selection is still done at first launch
of the game'' and available languages are English, German, French,
Italian, Polish and Russian. So, in the end, RHEM IV language selection is
identical to the previous titles, despite having an external option to set
the language of the game.
**RHEM I SE The Mysterious Land** (English):

All titles when launched with ScummVM crash / exit immediately.
The console output is the same for all titles (only the game path
differs):

Note: For the record, it's tricky to change the language of the games if I
set it after the first launch of the game. Uninstalling and re-installing
the game ''will not'' result in offering the choice again to the user.
On the Steam forums it's suggested to delete the save folder under the
Roaming application data for the game, and do a "clean restart".
This seemingly only works for RHEM II and RHEM IV, but not for RHEM I and
RHEM III (for which I haven't figured how to change the language after
first launch, as of yet).
Also, to add to the mess:
Rhem I and Rhem IV both create folders in the Roaming appdata windows
folder.
Rhem II and Rhem III create folders under ''LocalLow\Adobe\Director 12\''
subpath in appdata.
