Default Playing spore - in english?

Hi!

I've just received my copy of the Galactic Edition of Spore, ordered a little late as the swedish stores didn't have it until very near it's release but enough of that!

How do i install the game to play it in english?
The installer now starts in swedish and i'm afraid the game will be in english as well.
All games suck (yes, everyone single one) at translating to other languages, and i would like to play the game in english, the way it was intended!

Any one know how to "fool" the installer to get me the english version or is the one i bought swedish only?

Regards

Don't forget that the game will ONLY run if you are using a user with administrative privileges!

The game runs, but in swedish (which i hate... ).

Miikel, i have searched but haven't managed to find anything, i was hoping someone could remember a way or a thread to help me change the in-game language.

I did a search and came up with several solutions to changing language, windows only though.

I managed to solve it by copying the folder contents of en-us to sv-se inside the spore.app!

Yay!!

I've been following along, and noticed you posted on other forums as well. Didn't say anything because I had no idea how to help.

But it's good to hear you figured it out in the end.

Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy.

We need more stories with happy endings...
