Well, thanks to everyone who have contributed the files, it is done.
For whatever reason, digital versions of Arcanum are English only, even though Sierra made official French and German localized versions back in the day, with full voice overs and everything.
The following patches will convert the game data to be exactly the same as the DE/FR disk versions of Arcanum. Basically, these are not just shitty patches that simply put language related stuff in an 'override' folder, they actually patch the game data to be exactly the same CRC as the localized versions. Arcanum1 to 4 DAT files are patched, and then Arcanum and Vormantown modules, and then also the movies. The readme files also get replaced.
These language packs will work with all known English versions of the game, including but not limited to: GOG, Steam and US/UK retail (patched to 1.0.7.4). Enjoy!
French/German Language Packs + Manuals
P.S. Obviously they break compatibility with English language patches/mods for Arcanum, such as the UAP, A:WIP, Multiverse, etc. However, the High Resolution Patch will work just fine, same goes for the HQ Townmaps and HQ Music packs.
