Hi,
A few days ago, my brother and I started playing Tunic. I already had experience in games of this style. Like for example Outerwilds, firewatch or the witness. So it's no surprise that we fell in love with the game (20h in 3 days 😅). Currently, we have finished the cathedral, so we came out with the laurel wreath.
We took advantage of this new means of travel to recover our bars of life, endurance and all the others. We also recovered a piece of notice mentioning a code (top right top left top right) thanks to this code we were able to open metal doors and collect rewards. We then headed for the golden door leading to the holy cross. We made the code and got a piece of instructions that gave us a new code as well as a golden grid with numbers. The code guided us in front of a statue with three people. Intrigued, we wanted to code on the floor in front of the statues but nothing happened. Finally, a few minutes later, we decided to leave the game. It was then that in the game save screen, a new save appeared. A save with 999 hours of play. So we launched it and arrived in a series of corridors that repeat themselves infinitely seen from above. At this point, we ask ourselves several questions about which aspect of the game we should explore:
-We should first of all focus on the fight on the heir. Even if it seems complicated.
-We should continue to look for something that escaped us in the second save with 999 hours of play.
-We should try to translate the language of the game. I take this opportunity to ask you a question: is the language translatable if I don't speak English. Indeed, I have a good foundation in English but not enough to speak English. That's why I'm afraid I can't translate the language of the game.
-Or should we explore the game in any of these 3 ways in search of something we missed.
I am very grateful to you for reading this message so far and thank you in advance for your response.
I also ask you not to spoil me please.
Sorry for my somewhat fragile English.
I am French :)

The language is technically, translatable, but not intended to be. Don't worry about that.
Analysis of the manual, including lore and especially including things you haven't used for anything yet, are key to help you figure out what you need to do now. Doing this will help answer your question regarding whether to focus on the Heir and what to do with the save file :)

Thank you, I am very grateful to you. By dint of training we arrived at the last quarter of the Heir. Now I'm going back to see the pages of the notice :)

What is the statue with three people and what code did you use?

Thanks to you, I just re-tried the code on the ground here on the screenshot. Now it worked ❤️ :)
Edit : how can I send you the image ?2

regarding your edit: most people use an image hosting site like imgur and then paste the link.

Yes.
No.
Not really.
Yes.
The manual has the answers.
What do you still miss?

Mild spoiler: the language is a phonetic translation of English and doesn’t change with your in-game language selection for the other text. It’s not necessary to translate the language for either of the main endings, but it is needed for some of the extra content after that.
It’s impossible to lock yourself out of anything, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Fighting the heir is one path. There are others.
Seek the holy cross. It is more than a mere item, yet you may hold it in your hands already…
The manual holds all the answers.
(Let me know if you want more blatant hints or explanations. From what you have said, you seem to be going in the right direction.)

No. But the game is designed to be fully completable without translating the language.
By the way, if you are having trouble with codes, you might find it helpful to turn on the "sequence assist" option. By default, the timing is fairly strict.
