Changing the language
I clicked the wrong language option (Spanish) when I first turned on the game. Does anyone know how to change it to English?

I have tried uninstalling it and installing it again, this didn't help. Also, there does not seem to be obvious option to change the setting in game or outside it/

All you need to do is go to:
Users/[Your Username]/AppData/Roaming/Lucasarts/The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition/
Double click settings.ini
And change language to 0

I went looking for this, but it does not exist. There is an App Data file from my user account on the computer, but there is no roaming folder, or any indication of the game being there. Also, with steamapps in my programs folder, there is no "settings,ini" file.

I have seen the process you've described done, but I can't find anything similar on my computer so far. I have tried search options, but they come up with nothing.

What operating system are you using? If you are using Windows XP the folder is located in:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\LucasArts\The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition\

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I should've just click "windows button + R" and brought up Run. I'm on windows 7. When I went into my username, I couldn't find it, but run brought it up immediately and I did exactly as you said, appdata\roaming\lucasarts\The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition and there was settings.ini

Thanks for your help. Works the treat now.

The appdata folder is hidden. To view your hidden folders, type "hidden" into the command prompt. Click on "show hidden files and folders" and in the dialog box select Show hidden files, folders, and drives.

Another way to get there is going to the Control Panel under Appearance and Personalization and selecting the "show hidden files and folders" button.

After that it should just be C:\Users\<username>\appdata\roaming\lucasarts\The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition. The settings.ini is in there.
Thank you very much!

You can also type %appdata% in file location bar in Explorer and press Enter, and it will automatically show this hidden folder.

%'s are mandatory
