I tried on an english version of Windows 7, with the following
regional settings (in the Region and Language window of the Control
Panel):
Format: French (Canada)
Location: Canada
Eliot starts as expected, with everything in French.

Could you tell me the value of the above fields on your aunt's computer please?
Also, would you mind installing VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/),
which uses a similar language detection mechanism, and tell me if its
interface is in French?

No, this is not possible at the moment. I can easily add an option to
change the default level of the computer, but remembering the full
game settings (number, name, type and level of the players) would be a
bit more work, and probably not very useful.
So if a simple default level is OK for you, I can add it for the next version.

Best regards,
