LoTR Data Files

I am currently updating the LoTR data files and have done I believe
an excelent job (adding the BoHD cards, making the duplicate tags
work, etc.) but I can not find out how to add languages other then
english of the life of me, I personally love this program and use it
constantly so any help is much appreciated, if you can email me at
mongus12@aol.com. TY for any info available.

OK, you've lost me, and that's not a good thing. What are the
BoHD cards?

Do you mean actual language support, or just adding the tags for
new languages?
For new tags, consult the CV-Files document for the two-letter
abbreviations. Each card has a "languages" attribute. Currently, they are
all set to "en" for English". This would need to be changed, and it would
be easier if I did it - I have the card data and an export program to do it
all en masse.
For actual language support, I'm not sure CV does that
yet. Ed? Rob? Colen? Bueller?

D'oh!
That's out awfully early, at least compared to Tow Towers. OK,
new task, moved to top of list.

V1.0 supports:

English en
Spanish sp
French fr
German ge
Italian it
Portugese pr
Japanese jp
Chinese ch

V1.1 should have a few more, like Russian.

What exactly does this let you do? Just keep track of any cards you might have in other languages, or is there something more?

As I understand it at the moment, that's all there is. I'm sure
someone will correct me if I'm wrong...

As far as I know thats all it lets you do, but I am somewhat of a
perfectionist (all cards must have the lore correct, amoung other
things) but when I would enter this for example I put "en+sp" and
loaded CV this error occured:
Artwork element specifies language not assigned to card.

Can you please shed some light on what I may be doing wrong, is there
a tag I need to add to the lotr.def file for this and if so what
should the tag look like?

In general, the docs (see below) are very good. Rob's writing
gets a little dense at times (a side-effect of having his mind as deep into
the code as he has to to get it all working) in the way it's all phrased,
but the answers are all there. It may just take a little work to figure
them out. Not to say that you shouldn't post questions here, but I've
found that it's at least worth a quick look through the docs before I ask a
question that's the equivalent of "What's the number for 911?"

According to the docs (look in the "docs" directory, under
whatever directory Card Vault is installed in, at file "CV-Files.RTF" or
"CV-Files.PDF") you would want to add the following:

languages="en+sp" deflang="en"

...to the "game" tag group at the top of the "lotr.def"
file. Just keep in mind that when the "official" files get released (this
may take a couple of days, as a HDD failure has forced me to re-install a
number of things - aside from the BoHD spoiler that I need to rip from its
PDF and set up) anything you do will be overwritten. If you have any
special requests/suggestions/etc you might send them to me privately
(turing2@rcn.com) to prevent cluttering up the general list with too much
technical stuff.
