Before downloading random files, you need to know what each file does. In your PES 2013 root folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013\img), you will find multiple .img files. These are container archives. For languages:
| File Name | Content Type | What it Controls |
|-----------|--------------|------------------|
| dt00_e.img | Commentary/Audio | English commentary (other letters: f=French, g=German, i=Italian, s=Spanish, r=Russian, p=Polish, t=Turkish) |
| dt05_e.img | Menu Text | In-game text (English). Other letters correspond to the same languages as above. |
| dt01_e.img | Licensed audio | Chants, stadium ambiance (rarely changed, but sometimes language-specific) |
| dt02_e.img | Graphical text | Menu buttons, logos in specific languages |
Crucial note: If you install a patch like PES 2013 Patch 2021 by PTE, it might replace all dt00_*.img files with a custom sound pack. If you only speak English, you MUST keep a backup of your original dt00_e.img and dt05_e.img.
Note: Some custom commentaries require a specific dt05_?.img text file to match menu names. If not provided, the commentary works but team/city names might be mismatched.
Launch PES 2013. Go to System Settings → Language Settings. You should now see English (or your chosen language) available. If not, ensure the letter matches your game’s region. For example, if your patch is based on the German version, the English file must still be named dt00_e.img, not dt00_g.img.

To understand why language files were such a hot topic in 2021, one must understand the status of PES 2013 itself. For many enthusiasts, PES 2013 represents the "end of history" for the franchise. It was the final iteration before the series pivoted to the FOX Engine (PES 2014) and eventually the controversial Unreal Engine era (eFootball).
PES 2013 is revered for its crisp, responsive gameplay, heavy player physics, and an AI that challenged you rather than cheating you. However, playing it in 2021 presented a problem: the world had moved on. The game shipped with rosters from the 2012/2013 season. The kits were outdated. The commentary was archaic.
Enter the modders.
Communities like PES Edit, PESGalaxy, and countless independent creators began releasing "Option Files" and massive overhauls to bring the 2013 engine into the modern era. They added the Champions League license back in, updated Premier League kits to the 2021 standards, and transferred Mbappé and Haaland into the database.
But there was a catch. If you downloaded a brilliant 2021 roster update but didn't update the language files, your immersion would shatter the moment you entered a menu. You might see "Manchester City" wearing the right kit, but the game might still refer to them by their generic, unlicensed name from 2012, or display a generic stadium name in the menu headers.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 remains a masterpiece in 2021 and beyond precisely because of its flexibility. Unlike modern always-online football games, PES 2013 lets you swap language files, inject 2021 commentary updates, and even hear fan-made Arabic shouts for Mo Salah.
By understanding the dt00 and dt05 system, you can transform any regional copy of PES 2013 into your perfect language setup. Whether you’re an English purist, a Spanish gol enthusiast, or a Turkish Süper Lig follower, the language files are out there — you just need to know where to look. I can then point you to a verified
