As far as i understand the language.dll tells the age of empires.exe file what to say. what i mean by this is that the language.dll controls a lot (but not all) of the text in the game. some examples of controlled text are the unit names, the artifact/ruins/wonder messages, the computer tribute messages, etc.. Have you ever wanted to have your copy of "age of empires ii - the conquerors" in some other language, either english or some you`re more familiar with? well, it is possible to change the language files, even when the original game discs are in different language then you prefer. Popular games on voobly include age of empires ii: the conquerors, age of mythology, the rise of rome, and many others. you need to replace the "language" dll files i think you can download them from here [you must login to view link] link | reply | quote +gallas
