Hello.
Although, at least for AGD Interactive King Quest remakes, is explained
that they don't support translation packs, some Spanish translations exist
for some of this games.
The main problem, and the reason to submit that ticket with all of them,
is because all of them add a new EXEs for the game and setup, among other
files, that need to be alongside the original files, and you need the
original EXEs to make the new EXEs for the translation to work. In all of
the translations, when you install the translation and play directly, the
original EXEs doesn't work properly (shows mixed languages or characters
errors) or directly doesn't work at all, so you need to use the new EXEs
provided in the translations to make them work, but without deleting the
originals.
The issue here is the translation (EXEs) are not detected at all in
ScummVM (including if you rename the original EXEs, although like i said
they are needed for the translation to work). If i keep the original EXEs,
they are detected as the original EXE games and then, as i said, they
don't work properly (except in one case that i will explain later).
So, the point here is add those translations to ScummVM to be detected,
and in addition, also look if they will be detected alongside with the
original EXE, in this case the original EXE should not work so i don't
know if in that case there is something it can be done to NOT detect the
original EXE in this case.
The translations are:
**Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine** (AGD Interactive)
Version tested:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/296850/Al_Emmo_and_the_Lost_Dutchmans_Mine/
Translation: https://pakolmo.netlify.app/alemmo
- It adds some files, including ''Al-EmmoSPA.exe'' and ''winsetupSPA.exe''
which are the ones to use with the translation. Tested with the Steam
version.
- If you use the original EXE with the translation (Directly or With
ScummVM), it shows the images in Spanish, but the text and dialogs are in
English.
- If you get rid the original EXE, the game is not detected by ScummVM.
NOTE: For install the translation, you need to copy the "ARCHIVOS COMUNES"
(Common files) and the files for the STEAM or 4.1 folders depending the
version you have.
**King's Quest II: Romancing the stones 3.1** (AGD Interactive)
Free Download:
http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/kq2/download/download.html
Translation: https://pakolmo.netlify.app/kqii_agd
- It adds some files, including ''Kq2vgaEsp.exe'' and ''winsetupEsp.exe''
which are the ones to use with the translation.
- If you use the original EXE with the translation (Directly or With
ScummVM), it shows the images (Buttons) in Spanish, but the text and
dialogs are in English.
- When the translation is installed, the game is detected twice (it shows
two entries) but both of them use the original EXE (Kq2vga.exe, as show in
the log) and does what i described above. They both shows as Spanish as
option for language, but they do the same whatever you pick.
- If you get rid the original EXE, the game is detected, but it doesn't
work (It shows an error that game data is missing or corrupted). The ID
detected for Kq2vgaEsp.exe is: f964e5cb4d339432dd0302d67eb11105, 2490368
bytes.
NOTE: The translation is installed via an installer that should detect the
game folder.
**King's Quest III Redux: To heir is human 1.1** (AGD Interactive)
Free Download:

- It adds some files, including ''Kq3vgaEsp.exe'' and ''winsetupEsp.exe''
which are the ones to use with the translation.
- If you use the original EXE with the translation (Directly or With
ScummVM), it shows a in-game message saying the game is not compatible
with Language Packs (in Spanish with ScummVM, in English if using directly
the original EXE).
- If you get rid the original EXE, the game is not detected by ScummVM.
With them, is detected and there is an option for Spanish language, but it
does the same as described above.
NOTE: The translation is installed copying all the files from the 7zip.
**Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge VGA Remake 1.1** (Infamous Adventures)
Free Download: https://infamousadventures.itch.io/space-quest-ii-vga-
remake
Translation: https://www.mediafire.com/?u050g9em5fqopzn (Project URL
http://www.abandonsocios.org/index.php?topic=11752.0)
- It adds some files, including ''SQ2VGAESP.exe'' and ''winsetupEsp.exe''
which are the ones to use with the translation.
- If you use the original EXE with the translation (Directly), the game
works with the spanish translation but with characters errors (is trying
to use spanish characters, but it fails and shows interrogations and other
things). In ScummVM, it seems it works, although you see in the log is
using SQ2VGA.exe, it shows the characters correctly. It doesn't matter
what language pack you choose (it shows default and "Castellano"
[Castilian, Spain's Spanish basically]), the game is shown in Spanish. It
could work like that, but i get two crashes when exiting the game, and
also i didn't test the entire game looking if it would work without using
the translation EXE.
- If you get rid the original EXE, when you try to add the game, ScummVM
shows a message that says ''Unknown key "Desinstalar Tradución
SQ2VGA.exe"!'' and it closes (''Desinstalar Tradución SQ2VGA.exe'' is the
translation uninstaller that is in the game folder). If i get rid too of
that EXE, it doesn't detects the game.
NOTE: The translation is installed via an installer that should detect the
game folders.
__IMPORTANT NOTE: The translation is only for the 1.1 version, not the
2.0.__

Thanks in advance!
