Changing subtitle/voice language (merged threads)

[Bude]

I have encountered, that bttf has german soundpack. But i am afraid, that it fucks up the game. Are there any samples for german and french ?

[Strayth]

French has no audio, it's subtitles only.

German has a german dub, but not with the voice actors from the movies. So it's kinda pointless.

Hi guys

How to change subtitles from German to english (menu as well). I have downloaded English version but got all in German. OK, my Windows is German, and I live in Germany but want it in English

[Strayth]

Nothing in the options ?

God I hope so cauz I'm gonna get the french subtitles otherwise >< .

[miodzicho]

Don´t see any option I´m afraid. Nothing in registry as well...

[pixelpile]

Same problem here. Having the voices in English and all the text in German is a bit distracting. Why there just isn't a language setting in the game options is beyond me.

I tried finding a language setting in the registry. There's a setting called "Language ID", but it is already set to 1033, which is the Windows language code for American English. So no luck there.

Any other ideas?

Deleting the "Localized"-folder didn't help either. Hope someone has a solution anytime soon.

[Cyphox]

solution for this would be really nice, oh yes

[DrRadon]

Yes, i got the Mac Version. Same problem.


It´s great that you offer the game in three languages and even with german dubbing, but i want to play it 100% in English, not only text, but also Sound.

Hi guys,

Need some help here.
I have been downloading the game a couple of times and thought the installer is always in English, I just can't get the game to be in English !

My Windows (7) is in English but my locale is French (Canada). It doesn't seem to do anything to change locale settings or keyboard settings. Each time I'm launching the game, the launcher is in French and the subtitles and text dialogues are in french.

My other half is english speaking and - anyway - we want to choose the language we're playing in.

Worst is : in "my games" in Telltale account, I can't even choose "french" in the drop down menu. There's only english and german. I redownloaded it (because of the redownloading problem), but no way.
I searched a config file and in the registry but I can't find WHERE (the heck !) the game is set up in French.
What's more, no "english" folder in the Pack/Localized folder of the game.

Can anyone help ?

OS : Win 7 Canadian-English Version

[Clyssandre]

update : on the PC of my boyfriend (XP in French, locale in English !), the game works in English entirely (subtitles + dialogues).
We used the same installer...

Please could TellTales say which variable is used to change the language ?

[CBL]

Hello,

I'm so glad that Telltale finally included french subs !
But you may have issues activating them or activating english subs if you have a french Windows.

The key parameter is called :
-Langue pour les paramètres non Unicode
-Language for non-Unicode programs

To change it, go to :
-panneau de configuration -> modifier les claviers... -> Administration -> modifier les paramètre régionaux
-control panel -> change keyboards or... -> Administrative -> Change system locale...

Have fun ! Et n'oubliez pas de penser en quatre dimensions !

I would like to know that, too. I installed the English version but everything is in German (except the audio). My Windows 7 is in German of course (as I am German and living in Germany). I would like to be able to switch languages and make the subtitles in English as well.

Okay - i found a solution:

In Windows 7 just type "regional" in the search field.
Then you click on the result in "System Control" (Systemsteuerung).
In German it's "Datum, Uhrzeit und Zahlenformat ändern", in English probably something like "Change Date, Time and Numberformat".

Then choose Verwaltung (Administration) and Gebietsschema ändern (Change Area Scheme). Here you can choose between Deutsch, English, French...

If you start the game afterwards, your changes will be in effect. So you'll have English subtitles instead of German...

However - this is not a proper solution. I would prefer to be able to switch between subtitle languages in the game.

Hi,

I finally succeeded in launching the game (was stuck at the login page like many users) and I'm having similar language problems : all texts are in French and it sucks. I'm running Windows 7 in English but with "Belgium French" locale settings.

The locale workaround is not a solution for me : I have to keep the locale to a French settings for work-related stuff (accountancy softwares and stuff like Microsoft Excel).

On previous Telltale games, all you had to do was to change the language during the installation process to get the game in English but it's not even available here.

On another unrelated note, the launcher looks like crap (I was stuck for a few hours on this launcher so I could really enjoy it). Is it possible it was made using html-editing software from 1985 ? It really looks like something made with Microsoft Frontpage from like... 15 years ago!

I don't have an opinion yet on the game itself (played like 2 minutes to check the language) but so far, I am very disappointed by Telltale...

[Falzo]

+1 for How can we change the language of the game without changing the locale of the computer and if not possible, put it in please!

(I'm on windows 7 Home Premium, French (Canada) regional settings)

Hello everyone, Menu, and Subtitles are German, but the Voices are English.

How can I manage to get the German Voices?
