Just to make sure I am understanding your question properly, what you are trying to do is to take a game that is currently using Russian as the default language and replace Russian with English?

 

 

I have the sneaking suspicion that the easiest way to do that would be to re-install and select a new default language this time rather than trying to track down and edit every place where a text string occurs.

 

If you are just trying to fix a piece of Custom Content that has Russian pie menus in an English game, and if the creator is still actively supporting it, you can contact the creator with English translations of the menu strings. Otherwise you could use SimPE to edit them yourself with the English translations.

Did you selected your latest Expansion Pack installed? The order is:

  • University
  • Nightlife
  • Open for Business
  • Pets
  • Seasons
  • Bon voyage
  • Freetime
  • Apartment life 

In my case, it's Open For Business, as in the above screen:

 

And if you copy the Text folder files from an English game, will still in the same language, these files contains text for all languages.
