Why is my Ultima Online displaying in French?

[SchezwanBeefy]

I live in South Korea and while visiting a PC room, I went ahead and downloaded the game. I went through UO's site directly and for some reason the game commands are set totally in french. Why? How can I change this?

sounds like the Win-doze default language setting might be French. Check it in the Control Panel and change to English there.

In XP: Start ==> Settings ==> Control Panel ==> Regional and Language Options

You want the tab for "Regional Options" and change the language in the dropdown to English.

Don't stare at your computer or it might surrender.

Doh!!!

Hahahah,
I can understand french (but I've realized my french has gotten reeeally bad after taking a year off), but I would really like to just play in my native language to make it easy.
Also, the default language on the computer is Korean, not french.

Translation: I am French. I surrender.

Translates to: Look, a spider. I surrender!

Open the uo.cfg file in a text editor (Notepad will do). See if there is a line like this

UserLanguageCodeString=

if not, add one. If you want it to display in US English add "ENU" after the equal sign. Someone else may have to find the correct abbreviation if you want a language other than US English since that's the only one I remember right now.
