Comment (by Bug-Fighter):

 Sadly it goes again with 'Indiana Jones and the relic of the Viking'
 (Release Date: 18 Dec 2020)

 I downloaded this free game on AGS website. Then I made different  tries :

     - running game's executable with MS-Windows 11 plays without any
 problems even in french language;
     - running game's data with last ags (v3.6.1.17) on Linux/Mageia 9
 won't start;
     - running game's data with last scummvm (v2.8.0) on Linux/Mageia 9
 won't start too. Turning language into french in scummvm's GUI has no
 effect.

 ags and scummvm claims they can't open translation :

 {{{
 Starting game
 Cannot open translation: French (Fran�ais).tra
 Quitting the game...
 A fatal error has been generated by the script using the AbortGame
 function. Please contact the game author for support.


 Error: In module Translations : Unable to change the translation to
 'French (Fran�ais)'
 ***** ENGINE HAS SHUTDOWN

 }}}

 I experience same troubles as described above and it confirms criezy's
 analysis.

 Is there a workaround? What runner has to be modified, ags, scummvm, or
 both of them ?

 It seems you've found an orphan bug so rare that it could stay neglected.
