With the solution, it's pretty easy ...
Well done!

How on earth does CONTRACTIONS come from i18n and L10n?

They're "contractions" for internationalization and localization, respectively. I only discovered this by doing a search.

Oh well, something else I need to learn about.

I bought the &%$#@*& thing two months ago!
I think it would be safe to say that I'm getting a bit fed up with this!

I figured I'd download it anyway, since the version I have is for the PS, and I'll never play that version because the controls aren't customisable (whatever pillock thought that left/right strafe on the left stick is the best control layout for a game that requires precision jumping is so far beyond idiot-level that he has to look up to see marketing pros), and they might be for the PC version.
And, joy of joys, it requires installation of yet another bloatware "helper" program that comes in any mode you like, as long as it's black.
That's four, now. At least it's not as bad as that godawful travesty of UX that steam forces you to install, if you want any access at all to your paid-up-front property.
I miss just going to game shops, looking at boxes, and trying them out (without having to install anything on my machines).
Finding and buying games was fun, then. Now, it's just a pure PiTA.

I still have some classics in CD (Age of Empires, Starcraft, Diablo 2, Warcraft 2, Recoil, Avalon Stories...) and have made images of them. virtually mounting them and play it without having to install anything else.

In the library (once inside the Ubisoft App) the list is bigger. Pity is that most are trials or demos.

Does it worth to install wine or VM? Because Tomb Raider wasn't that much of a game...

for the little part I have played...
The game itself might be played in a VM, it is not that heavy in resources needs. One can see that the game came in 2009, the graphics are good for that moment but look poor nowadays (I would say worse than Tomb Raider), the dynamics look "easy" but controling things correctly needs a while.
The story I can't tell, I just played less than an hour.
A friend of mine has played it through three times, so I suppose it means something. Albeit I suppose I won't like it more than Assesin's Creed IV (Black Flag).
I have installed it in my main OS, but because my PC is quite old (playing it in a VM would probably be a bit challenging for me) and I am anyways going to img-restore it soon, so I don't really care that much because it will disappear with other things I have checked lately.

I more after a good story and gameplay than extreme graphics...
Tomb Raider has a very poor one IMHO...
I installed Assassin's Creed II on Wine and so far it looks good (but a bit more demanding on the hardware)...
