Silent Hill: Downpour in Arabic

What is translated

• Dialogue and subtitles
• Menus, options and tips
• Items and objectives
• Journal and documents
• Maps and puzzles

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a DirectX 12 graphics card, and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64).
• The DownpourRecomp port, version 1.1.8 (free, on GitHub).
• Your own US Xbox 360 copy (Title ID: 4B4E0823) as an ISO dumped from your disc. The port downloads Title Update 1 itself.

Installation

1. Extract the port to a folder you can write to, for example C:\Games\DownpourRecomp, open PlayDownpour.exe and click Play.
2. On the first run it asks for your game: choose your ISO. The port extracts the game, then let it download Title Update 1.
3. Let the game reach the main menu, then close it. Keep the game language on English.
4. Download SilentHillDownpour-Arabic-1.0.zip from the GitHub page, extract it and open DownpourArabic.exe. If "Windows protected your PC" appears, click More info, then Run anyway.
5. Choose the port folder (the one with downpour.exe) and click "Install". The program checks that your files are the original ones and backs them up.
6. Start the game and turn on subtitles: «خيارات» (Options) > «الترجمة النصية» (Subtitles) > «نعم» (Yes).

Uninstall

Open DownpourArabic.exe and click "Uninstall": your original files come back.
