You define the languages in the <LANGUAGES> section. These matchup with the language id in the ethnicities file and the last "column" in the name files.

In the xml at the Nation level you can define a language with lid=""

Within the nation tag you can also do this

<ETHNICITIES>
    <ETHNICITY lid="1" pct="94" />
    <ETHNICITY lid="3" pct="5" />
    <EHTNICITY lid="4" pct="1" />
</ETHNICITIES>

That allows you even more control of the breakdown of ethnicities and names in each nation. (You can even set the lid all the way down to the city level if you wanted to)

I don't know if that helps, but if you're computer literate enough to do this the old way you should be able to figure it out (hopefully ). Good luck. Make sure you are replacing all 4 files (names, first names, ethnicities, world xml).

Thanks! I finally got it. However, I still can't seem to find a way to rename an existing language/ethnicity.

I'm trying to replace the Finnish language/ethnicity with a customized one, in this case, the Dominican Republic. Here's an example of what I'm doing (or doing wrong):

1.) ethnicities file:

11,Dominican,890,0,70,0,40,

2.) In the World_Default:

<LANGUAGE id="11" name="Dominican" />

3.) first & last name files: Replaced all Finnish names with custom Spanish/Dominican ones.

4.) Edited the Dominican Republic in the World_Default file to draw exclusively from ethnicity "11".

<NATION id="56" name="Dominican Republic" pop="10090000" lid="11" gender="0" bbqual="5" abbr="DOM" dem="Dominican" time_zone="-4">
<ETHNICITIES>
<ETHNICITY lid="11" pct="100" />

The problem is that in the world editor, Finnish is still listed as a language/ethnicity, and is now listed as the sole language of the Dominican Republic. As far as I can see, I have deleted all references to Finnish in the world-default & ethnicities file. Why is it still listed?
