Tool that changes the language of Alien Isolation .pck files by replacing .wem files while keeping their ID, and updating .pck header.
This tool was made right after making Alien Isolation Cutscenes Language Changer
I gained knowledge while coding these tools, and i know that there is much likely way simpler ways to change the language of both audio and cutscenes files without having to change the whole OS language. But I often realized after the project was completed. And the original goal of these tools were just for me to play Alien Isolation with original voices without changing my OS language, which was met after making these tools, so I do not think I will make more optimized tools for this purpose.
All the files in Language(Country) folders does not contains any audio except Player_Vocalisations.bnk, but every audio file in this sound bank are the same for every language.
These .bnk sound banks contains what I believe to be spatial sound effects informations, and WEM IDs (and you cannot change them). Only .pck files are modified.

Some files are missings from certain languages (they were not dubbed, or forgot to add them during compilation as they are not even present in SoundbanksInfo.xml.
In these cases, the audio from the original language is kept. It is still a very rare case.
Here is the list of missing audios :
Italian : A1_SS2_S_SFC_ALI_D.WAV
Spanish : A1_CV5_DEALIEN_E.WAV and A1_M2201_RIP_2911.WAV
Portuguese : A1_M2201_RIP_2911.WAV
Russian : A1_M3401_RIP_4927.WAV
