If you are looking to apply the English fix to your installation, the process is generally straightforward:

In the maindata folder, you will find eng0.rda . Copy this file to a safe location (like a "Backups" folder on your desktop). If you are applying the language pack to the Venice expansion, also create a backup of the patch0.rda file, which is located in the addon folder inside the main directory.

Which storefront are you using? (, Ubisoft Connect , GOG , or a physical disc?)

The "eng0rda" file refers to a specific, highly reliable English language pack distributed by the community (often associated with the release group "0rda"). It became the gold standard fix for users needing to convert their game client from a localized language back to English. Even today, with the game available on platforms like Steam and GOG, players with legacy installations or mixed file directories still rely on this specific pack to ensure their "Venice" expansion runs seamlessly in English.

You need to know where your game is installed. Typical default paths include: C:\GOG Games\Anno 1404 Gold Edition\

In the Anno 1404 file structure, .rda files are compressed archives that hold everything from textures to text. The language packs are categorized by a three-letter prefix:
