Does language support change character's voices?

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
I'm sorry, I've searched throughout the forum and couldn't find an answer. I decided to change language to French, but it only seemed to change the subtitles . As far as I know, original BG had was voiced in other languages.

Can anyone help me?

    I think it depends on the language and game in question.

    @DJKajuru
    At present, German and English are the only languages that have both audio and text localized.
    Our hope is that they will release the audio for other languages as well.

    Thank you so much , guys. I guess I'll have to practice French with other games, then...

    @DJKajuru:
    Try Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition. Audio and text are both localized in French.

    if you have the sounds you can drop them in /[game directory containing chitin.key]/lang/[your_lang]/override/ and they'll be loaded in the game just for that language.

    I suppose I could install vanilla BG and extract these files...
