== Korean Release ==
== Language Variations ==
While all known non-English releases of LEGO Island are v1.1, a few versions feature differences that don't strictly affect gameplay.
 
=== Korean ===
In late 2019 it was discovered that the Korean release of LEGO Island contains logs and source files for the [[Interleaf files]] on the disc. These files would have been compiled into Interleaf files with [[Weaver]], which would have been a necessary part of the translation process considering the Interleaf files contain the bulk of the voice clips. While the game itself is unremarkably still v1.1 code and the Weaver tool is still unrecovered as of this writing, these files are extremely interesting insights into the development process.

=== Italian ===
{{Main article|SecuROM}}
For unknown reasons, the Italian release features [[SecuROM]] DRM technology. It's unknown whether all Italian copies contain the DRM or whether any non-Italian copies ever featured it.
=== Japanese ===
For unknown reasons, the Japanese LEGO Island installer features a Windows check that fails if the version of Windows you're using is not 4.x (e.g. 95, 98, or Me). This means the installer will fail on any Windows version newer (starting with Windows 2000). As such, for this version you should probably use the [[Getting_Started#Alternative_Installer|LEGO Island Alternative Installer]].
