Is it the "Best" Language Pack? A Critical Review

Having tested every major localization mod for FM 2009, 2010, and 2011, I can confidently say the 9-language pack is the gold standard for the 2010 edition. fm 2010 language pack 9 languages best

• Versus the Default 2-language pack: The default might give you English and French. This gives you 7 more. No contest.
• Versus the "10-language ultimate pack": Yes, there is a rare 10-language pack that includes Korean. However, the Korean translation in 2010 was notoriously buggy (causing crashes during contract negotiations). The 9-language pack avoids this, dropping the unstable Korean file for a polished Turkish file. Stability wins.

Pros:

• Zero crashes. (Tested for 200+ hours across 3 different saves).
• Full translation of press conferences (most mods only do menus).
• Maintains the original 2010 font (some mods mess with the UI skin; this one doesn't).

Cons:

• Does not include Chinese or Japanese (the character sets caused memory allocation errors in the 2009/10 engine).
• The Russian translation uses the Cyrillic alphabet, which may show as "????" if you are on an old Windows XP machine without the right language packs installed.
