I have a software (not mine) i added a language xml files so i wanna protect the xml files so not one can have the software with this language

If you can't control how the Main App loads this XML resource, you won't be able to do much, if the app is expecting the XML in clear text, you can't do anything.

One radical idea would be to write your own DLL which hooks when the app reads the XML and there you can decrypt your XML and feed it to the app, but remember that your decrypted XML will be in clear text when it is passed to the app so it can be dumped.

The problem is that program protected with themida so it's hard, need to unpack it

[Kurapica]

a Proxy DLL can help.

It is an advanced topic if you are new to reverse engineering, I can't explain in 1 post, you can use google to read about "Proxy DLLs" and similar techniques.
