The objectives are displaying in German. Is there a way to change them to English?

* Have you played other contest missions yet? If so I assume they played correctly?
* Are you using the same Thief installation for this mission?
* Did you make any config or install changes since playing the previous mission?
* Open the file install.cfg (in your root Thief folder) in Notepad or any text editor. What language is set in it?

Ok, I've never seen multiple languages defined like that in there, it is probably something TFix or FM Sel does. What loader are you using? If it's FMSel or NewDarkLoader, look in your FM folder for In & Out and go into /intrface/miss22 and see if there are folders for english, german and other languages. The english folder might be missing. Also, does the mission name on the main menu show in English or German? What about book texts (if you made it that far)?

I'm using FM Sel, with TFix v1.26. There is no English folder in \THIEF\FMs\TDP20AC_In_&_Out_1_0\intrface\miss22, nor in the folder above it. The main menu displays TDP, not the FM name. Difficulties and Objectives show in German. I haven't got to a readable yet.

Check the ZIP file and make sure that the English folders are there. If not, you need to re-download as they should be. Otherwise, it sounds like FM Sel goofed the install by only copying the German folders over. In that case I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall the mission and then check that English gets copied over. I don't know if FMSel has a language setting, but if so you should also check it hasn't somehow been changed unintentionally.

I had that happen too with German for this FM. Check in your install.cfg file if the 'language' line shows more than english (mine was 'english+german+french'), if so edit it to just english which solved it for me.

Yeah he said it was set to that already, I was just trying to get more info before suggesting that. Thanks for confirming it works, though. Marbrien, give it a go.
My concern is that if it's FM Sel doing that, it may do it for any FM which has multiple language support. Mine does (Downtowne Funk), so if either of you have the same problem when trying to play it, please let me know. I'd like to understand the real cause here.

I just downloaded the .zip again from both of the two links in the first post, and neither of them has an English folder in \THIEF\FMs\TDP20AC_In_&_Out_1_0\intrface\miss22. But editing the install.cfg as suggested by Dahenjo has fixed it. Thanks.

There is no "english" folder in "intrface" because unless the language is specified to another one, any loader should load up the mission in English. So all the English-related files are just located in the root intrface folder. I never knew that installs can have "english+german+french" setting. :p
Glad you got it figured out! Once the contest is over, I'll update the mission with all the files in the "english" folder.
