Naturally, not all software products, applications or games are initially developed taking into account the specifics of their use in a certain region of the world. That is why in many cases such a product may have an interface designed exclusively for Western languages. But not every user can boast a thorough knowledge of the same English. What to do in this case? Here the program for Russification of programs or even OSes will come to the rescue. Creating such a program yourself or downloading it from the Internet is very simple.
What is a program for the Russification of programs and systems
If we talk about what these programs are, in most cases called crackers, they can be conditionally divided into several types. First of all, these are special language packs, either supplied by the developer bundled with the main software, or additional utilities available for download from the Internet, or third-party applications already created by someone or allowing you to create crack yourself.
By their principles of work, they are not particularly different. But each program for the Russification of programs, games or systems has its own characteristics and distinctive features.
The principles of crack
It is believed that the main task of any crack is to change the language of the graphical interface of the application or operating system, the names of menus and commands, etc. For computer games, this concept is somewhat expanded, since they need to be translated into Russian as dialogs presented in the form of sound files, or subtitles used in the game.
As a rule, any program for Russifying programs allows you to change the language of compiled files such as EXE or CHM, dynamic DLLs, and other specific formats in which information to be translated can be stored.
What is most interesting, a program for Russification of programs, such as CHM Editor, allows you to change the corresponding files using the built-in service tools, even without the need to extract data using, say, the Disassembler application with recompilation upon completion of work. In addition, you can create a crack yourself, without even going into the technical aspects of all processes. If you don’t like something in the final file, you can easily restore the original.
In general, if you use free crack (ready-made programs), you should first pay attention to whether they are supplied with the software product itself. These are usually special language packs called the Language Pack.
If there is no such package, the solution can be found on the Internet, since there are many similar utilities, not only freely distributed by the developers of a particular software product, but also created by enthusiasts of this matter. True, there are some nuances here, which will be discussed below.
Russification of games
Unfortunately, the correct Russification of many popular games is a sore spot in the computer world. Very often you can find a completely incorrect translation. The graphical interface, menus and commands, as a rule, cause complaints, but sound dubbing often leaves much to be desired.
Here some official or unofficial program for Russification of games will come in handy. It is believed that the best option would be to search for, so to speak, solid software that comes with an original crack or an additional language module. In any case, you should first make a "backup", and only then deal with the installation of the Russian language.
Very often, some errors that are invisible in the initial stages can occur at higher levels. It is not recommended to delete a backup copy, since, as a rule, installing a crack is an irreversible process.
Russification of application programs
With applied software products, the situation is somewhat simpler in the sense that only files containing text will have to be replaced here. In most cases, they take up to several tens of megabytes of disk space. In this case, you will need to download only text files of Russification, not counting the main EXE-file. The task in this case will be reduced only to replacing the original files with text with new (Russified), which many free crackers do.
It’s not always possible to find original versions, it is enthusiasts who are more concerned with this. That is why it is often possible to meet several versions of crackes of the same software product. Yes, take at least the situation with the Russification of the interface of the popular sequencer FL Studio.
Russification of Windows
As for the Windows operating system family, there are also several basic ways to completely Russify the interface.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the choice of language during the installation of the system. It is clear that Microsoft initially includes many languages of the world in its products. Everything is simple here: you just need to specify the use of the Russian language in the initial settings, but in most cases this is not required, since we have almost all installation distributions already Russified.
If the user has a clean version of Windows, say, designed for use in the United States, there is also a way out. No "native" or third-party crackers will not even be needed here.
You just need to use the standard “Control Panel”, where Region and Language is selected, and then the Language and Keyboards menu is used. Next, the desired language (Russian) is simply added. After the message appears, the Install Display Languages command is selected and the Run Windows Update installation method, in which the transition to the Windows Languages Packs language package is performed. We confirm the choice and wait for the end of the process. Again, go to the Language and Keyboards menu and select the desired language. For the changes to take effect, a system reboot is required.
However, many consider the easiest way to use the Vistalizator utility, which does not require installation (portable version). You can download it from the developer's site for free. In addition, you will need to separately download another Russian-language package. After starting, the application simply selects the desired language for the Windows system and indicates the path to the downloaded crack file. Everything works even without a reboot.
Russification of mobile systems
Programs for Russification phones have long ceased to be something out of the ordinary. Today they can be found just a huge number. However, there is no need to rush with their use, especially if they are downloaded from an unreliable source. For example, the same program for Russification of Android may not be required at all, because developers of mobile technology often already use the Russian language in the capabilities of their gadgets with this OS on board.
The easiest way to Russification can be to use the settings (Settings) in the main menu, where you select Languages and Keyboards, and then the system language (System Language). It simply exhibited the Russian language. That, in fact, is all.
Another thing is if there is no support for the Russian language. You can download MoreLocale 2 utility in the Play Market, after installing and launching it you just need to select the desired language (in our case, Russian). Within about ten seconds, the system will be completely Russified.
Manual crack creation
Needless to say, you can create a crack yourself. One program has already been said. But the best application for all file types is the Restorator application.
It is very easy to use, Russified patch files have a minimal amount, and are temporary (if they are not in demand, they can be safely deleted). Yes, and backup copies of the original files do not need to be created. However, you can deal with this application in a few minutes.
What you need to know before installing the crack
Finally, it is worth noting that not all crackers work completely correctly. This is especially pronounced in games and application software. Therefore, before installing the crack, you need to make sure that it is designed specifically for the version that is present on the computer or mobile gadget. Otherwise, not only the crack, but also the application on which it was installed will simply not work. In addition, the main program will "fly", so you have to deal with its reinstallation.
