Does anyone know how to tell PCC to use the English language? In the configurations I have not found references. From me it always starts in Italian, but the translation is often not accurate and creates confusion for me.

There is no configuration, because language needs to be known before the configuration file is even read.

The official solution: uncheck the "Language Support" option in the installer.

The manual solution: delete the file c:\Program Files\PCC2\resource\it.lang.

The "be the hero Gotham needs" solution: help me update the translation.

Seriously, translation is a place where everyone can help. I can provide English and German language (and some fragments of Russian from school education 25 years ago), but pretty much none of the others.

I have received language updates in the past. The Italian language file got its last update almost 14 years ago. If anyone feels like being able to spend some time on that subject, we can surely figure out a way how to make this work. Translations are possible for a large subset of the VGA Planets ecosystem, not only PCC2, but also PHost, PCC2-Web/Battle Simulator, old and new add-ons (FLAK, Starbase Reloaded, Agave Tequilana), help/documentation files for everything, etc.
