Bug Description

Binary package hint: scummvm

Beneath a Steel Sky is setup by default in English language with no subtitles whatever the system language is.

Game soundtrack is in English but the game supports interface text and subtitles in several languages out of the box: English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.

There are several ways the user can change that;
- add "-q language" to the launcher command (eg "-q fr") .
- launch ScummVM and edit the game's properties.
- modify ScummVM config file.

Most people don't think about this.

Moreover the subtitles are disabled by default. Users can change it in ScummVM general options or in game (by press F5).

It would be better if all ScummVM games in depositories (for now, beneath-a-steel-sky and flight-of-the-amazon-queen) were set to use the system language and having subtitles enabled by default. If the game doesn't support system language, it remains in English so we don't have to care about that.

Hi,

This is fixed in git for Lure & Drascula:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/lure-of-the-temptress.git/tree/debian/lure
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-games/drascula.git/commit/?id=1896a6dc1a42c26c14a1dff8672f9360652cb7e2

FOTAQ needs extra ressources:

BASS not, so I'll write a patch for it soon, mostly copying the one for lure & drascula.

Bonne journée
