Finally, dynamic language support should make it easier from here on out for Beamdog to add new translations to the games without the need for a full patch “on most store fronts”. Instead, the developers anticipate being able to drop in new languages “on an ad hoc basis”. Speaking of, patch 2.7 adds community-made Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, and Ukrainian translations to Baldur’s Gate 2, plus Hungarian and Japanese ones to Icewind Dale.

THIS worries me a lot. Either the language packs become DLC (good) or they are going to be streamed from somewhere and the game lasts as long as the content server does.

Still, awesome. People shit on the Beamdog releases because “I can just run this with these forty mods and hacked binaries and a syncthing server and…”. But they are incredibly competent remasters/ports.

Just a shame Icewind Dale 2 is still in the “forever lost” state source wise. The Twins were actually a really fun set of antagonists.
