.cif is an imagefile of corel - Roxio Easy CD Creator (now Roxio Creator).

If you don´t have that program, you may open these files with following programs:
- CDmage
- IsoBuster
- MagicISO

To the best of my knowledge, it's an entirely proprietary format that Funatics cooked up themselves.
It's basically just an obfuscated binary .ini file. I wrote some documentation on it years ago: https://dl.siguza.net/cultrix/specs/cif_tab_sal.html

I once made a tool that can display and export all game files, based on Molt's documentation. Though, it was only programmed to read everything in the "data0001.lib", so you cannot just open any cif-file directly. Sadly, there is no simple executable to download yet.

I am asking because I wanted to translate the game from English into Polish


and when it comes to .lib files, it is a simpler tool than watto studios "Game Extractor"

I found a program that converts cif to ini and vice versa

Does anyone know where the files for the main menu etc. are located to be translated?
