Gothic 1: Dark Mysteries - Update 2.5.1 and 2.5.1.1

Dark Mysteries – Updates

Translation Status (Czech)

It is still a temporary hybrid Czech translation, which currently combines:

• the original Czech Gothic 1 translation

• the Gcznet Dark Secrets translation

• many new lines translated via AI

• several latest lines translated via Google

• some quest names and terms are still in Polish

  
  

Everything will be gradually corrected and polished — we are waiting for the version to stabilize and updates to slow down.

English version = original Gothic 1 English + temporary Google Translate additions.
