1 Information
Microsoft Urban Assault is officially translated and localised with full text and voice support in the following four languages: English, German (original), French, Japanese.
This article covers basic information about the official translations and localisations of Urban Assault and Metropolis Dawn, as well as the built-in 'Language' selection function that is present in the game engine.
2 Overview
Urban Assault was created by German company TerraTools. The game's original language is German with full text and voiceovers. After the successful publishing contract with Microsoft, Urban Assault was also officially translated into English, French, and Japanese (quite rare for its time for a western game) languages with full text and voice localisation data.
Metropolis Dawn Expansion Pack was created by the same German TerraTools developers (also known as 'The Urban Assault Missions CD - Team'), but the expansion was never commercially released due to contract issues with a new publisher. Still, the developers had successfully translated the German expansion pack contents into English and French as well.
3 Language Selection Functionality
Urban Assault game engine can parse and load multiple variants of different language packs simultaneously without replacing another in the game data. Once the game engine detects any additional language packs, there will be a new button appearing at the lower-right corner at the main menu screen, named 'Obsolete' (originally called 'Language'), which allows the users to access the new page to select which language data pack to display the game contents.
