Interesting issue I ran into which I did not see answered on a quick search: I am german, so my Windows Language setting was german. I installed Skyrim, as I do with all games, in english and everything worked fine. Ini says "english" and the normal Skyrim menus are all in english, so is the Voiceover Afterwards I installed STEP Extended, when trying to create the bashed patch Wrye Bash tells mit Update.ESM is missing localization strings. I reserached that and found a solution: I renamed the Files in "Strings" from "English" to "German". Running Skyrim has issues though at least SkyUI (MCM) insists on giving his menus in german. And thus I wondered: Where does Wrye Bash get the idea that my string files should be named "German" anyway? Troubleshooting included setting my whole system language to english, reinstalling WryeBash after a complete uninstall, still the same. Using WryBash on the clean Skyrim (without MOd Organizer) does not have the issue. Mod Organizer is set to english as well though and there had been no issue there.

Ok, got that issue fixed, somehow SkyUI is determined to use german instead of english. Renaming the "translation_X.txt" file from "English" to "german" worked but everything in the MCM and whatever SkyUI has influence on is now german. How can I disable the "feature" of localization from SkyUI? Yes I am german, which means my Windows System is localized in that languge, but my Skyrim is and always was set to english, seems there is a whole issue with Wrye Bash thinking the game should be german (mentioned that above) and now SkUI thinking the same. I am kinda annoyed by that but don't have enough knowldge about how these utilities decide which language Skyrim should have. So: Does anyone know how to disable localization with SkyUI or what parameters are checked by it (should be the same as Wrye Bash) when determining the language used? Skyrim.ini is set to english, the files downloaded from steam are as well, I even set my system to english, to no avail....

After installign the STEP 2.10.0 I got the same issue. removing the "Translate_English.txt" made no change. The SKUI used is the 5.1 after all. I had to rename my stringfiles (German instead of english) for Wrye Bash to create the bashed patch, at some point, but even using the originals (thus having the game in german like Wrye Bash insisted to create the patch without error) had the "$" in front. You said the reason can be with incorrect configured .ini as well. Any more ideas where the issue can come from? (ANy more infos needed?)
