FAQ
Is there an English translation?
Section titled “Is there an English translation?”No — the game is already in English. This project translates it into Ukrainian. The English version of this site exists so that modders and curious players outside Ukraine can read how the localization works.
My antivirus flags dinput8.dll or UKRAINIAN.asi. Is it a virus?
Section titled “My antivirus flags dinput8.dll or UKRAINIAN.asi. Is it a virus?”No, but the reaction is understandable. dinput8.dll is Ultimate ASI Loader by ThirteenAG, an open-source plugin loader used by thousands of PC game mods. The game looks for the system library dinput8.dll and finds this one first, in its own folder; the loader then picks up *.asi plugins from the scripts/ folder. Our UKRAINIAN.asi serves Ukrainian text, fonts and textures from UKRAINIAN.uap while the game runs, without writing anything to the game files.
That exact technique — a stand-in library next to the EXE that hooks into the game process — is often flagged as suspicious by antivirus heuristics, even when the code is harmless.
How to check for yourself:
-
Download only from this project’s GitHub Releases.
-
Compare the checksum with
SHA256SUMSfrom the same release:Terminal window Get-FileHash .\lego-indiana-jones-ua-1.1.10.zip -Algorithm SHA256 -
The plugin source code and build scripts are open in the repository.
If the antivirus has already quarantined a file, add the game folder to its exclusions and unpack the archive again.
I unpacked everything, but the game is still in English
Section titled “I unpacked everything, but the game is still in English”- Check that
dinput8.dlland thescripts/folder sit next toLEGOIndy.exe, not in a nested folder such aslego-indiana-jones-ua-1.1.10/. - The game language must be English — the localization replaces exactly that.
- Your antivirus may have silently removed
dinput8.dllor the.asifile — see the question above. - On Steam Deck, if the translation doesn’t appear, add the launch option
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%— see installation.
Will it break my saves?
Section titled “Will it break my saves?”No. The localization changes neither the EXE, nor the DAT archives, nor your saves: the translation is injected into memory while the game runs. After uninstalling, your saves work as before.
Does it work with GOG or other versions?
Section titled “Does it work with GOG or other versions?”It is verified on the Steam version for Windows and on Steam Deck. GOG has not been tested yet — if you try it, let us know how it went. Console versions are not supported.
Does it work with other mods?
Section titled “Does it work with other mods?”Yes. The package only adds its own files (scripts/UKRAINIAN.*) and uses the standard ASI Loader, so it runs alongside other ASI plugins. It doesn’t repack or replace game archives, so there are no file conflicts with other mods.
How do I switch back to English?
Section titled “How do I switch back to English?”Delete the localization files — see “Uninstalling”. There is no need to reinstall the game.
Why «круглики», «Бонуси», «Валєра» and «Пластун»?
Section titled “Why «круглики», «Бонуси», «Валєра» and «Пластун»?”We translated so that the game sounds natural in Ukrainian rather than like a calque. Studs became «круглики» (kruhlyky, “little round ones”) and the Extras menu became «Бонуси» (Bonuses) rather than “Cheats”, the Jungle Guide became «Валєра» (Valera) and the Boy Scout became «Пластун» (Plastun, the Ukrainian word for a scout). Every decision is explained in cultural adaptations, and all terms are in the glossary.
Is this an official translation?
Section titled “Is this an official translation?”No. It is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with the LEGO Group, Lucasfilm, TT Games or Warner Bros. You need your own legal copy of the game.
