I've configured the launcher in order to execute ff7_es.exe (under General Settings), but the launcher seems to ignore it at the end. are there any other config which i have to change?
(i've tried duplicating the ff7_es.exe and renaming it, but 7th heaven launchs the ARRR message :-P

this is the log; as you can see, the game seems to be using the _es.exe , but on the last error message it's using the _en one.

### Launching Final Fantasy VII ###
Checking System DEP status...
Verifying latest game driver is installed ...
Checking FF7 is not running ...
Checking FF7 .exe exists at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\ff7_es.exe ...
Checking FF7 Steam if installed correctly......
Verifying installed game is compatible ...
Unknown error when launching the game: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\ff7_en.exe'

7th heaven on stable version, Spanish configurer on all (windows, ff7, 7th heaven)

7th Heaven requires (and has always required) the English version of the game. Change the language for the game in Steam.

Hello,

and why it isn't possible to support multiple languages? What is the reason? The gamevars didn't change I think, just the contents of the vars like the language... Oversee I something?

Edit:// For all people who want your own language:

1. In Steam, set your language.
2. Go to the PATH\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII\data\field directory and rename the flevel.lpg to flevel-de.lpg for example
3. In Steam, set the language back to english
4. rename the flevel.lpg to flevel-en.lpg
5. Rename the flevel-de.lpg to flevel.lpg

After that, all the conversations are in your language. Not the menu, but that doesn't matter I think.

The reason 7th Heaven and most gameplay mods in general require the English exe is because the code layout of the exe differs between language versions. Gameplay mods rely on knowing the code addresses in the exe to apply patches.
