Describe the bug

We have maps done in russian editor, by russian gamers: image

But when playing an english version of the game, we see questions insted letters: image

Save file

russian.zip

Additional info

I can see 2 solutions: 1.Try fheroes2 to implement all the translation (for example, translate the map descriptions, sphinx questions, events on the map) so english-speaking users could understand it. May be, just include Russian–English vocabulary - that should be enough to understand the main meaning.

  1. Just simply translate the letters to english, so Крэг Хэг - Crag Hack, захват - zahvat, капитуляция - capituliatzia. English-speaking gamer won't understand it, but russian (will english version of the game) - will understand.

This is not a bug and it is not doable at all. The original game was released in many languages and there is no way to identify which language a map uses. We had discussions in the past and no solution exists to even remotely solve the problem of identifying a language of the map.
