I installed Dino Crisis and Alice Madness Returns with a French setup, either on Steam Deck under SteamOS or PC under Windows (ISO FR). Once it’s finished, I launch a game, I see that the game is in English, not in French. I tried adding LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 %command% to “arguments in Lutris but that doesn’t change anything. the same for Alice
I know that the games support different languages like French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and there are ways to change a language with an .ini file for Steam or .info for Gog but I don’t know how to change a language with files with these two games

You may need to adjust more environmental variables than just LANG.
These are for English not French, but the variables I had saved for fixing language issues are:
Key: LANG, Value: en_US.UTF-8Key:
LC_ALL, Value: en_US.UTF-8Key:
LANGUAGE, Value: en_US:en

I followed your advice but it still doesn’t change Image Image

Ok I did some searching. Try this:
For Alice, go to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/19680/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Alice Madness Returns/AliceGame/Config/
Check the different .ini files there, one of the engine ones should have a Language value that needs to be set to FRA.
For Dino Crisis, the language is apparently set by a registry value. The game may include a language_setup.exe or something similar that you can run to change the language. In Lutris you’ll want to use a “run exe from inside prefix” option to run it.
If the game doesn’t have an exe to set language, you can edit the registry directly. Go into wine settings for the game inside lutris, and look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> CAPCOM -> DINO CRISIS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Wow6432Node -> CAPCOM -> DINO CRISIS.
Hopefully there’s already a key there called language, try setting the value to 2 for it.
