Changing subtitle/voice language (merged threads)

[SatoshiChiba]

Open the Registry Editor: Simply type "regedit" in the Win7 Startbar Search Window.

Then within the Reg Editor browse to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telltale Games\BackToTheFuture101.exe

In the Window where you see the Registry Entries like LanguageID, Version and stuff like that you have to create a new String Value. Just right click -> new -> String Value.

Name it "language". After it's created simply double click it and change the Value to "english" or whatever Language you want to have for the text. I think only english, german, and french are working but i'm not sure about that!

Now you can play the Game with English text

yeah...the translation in the launcher alone gives me the creeps...i dont want to play this in german and i dont want to fiddle with my system settings...until today i had nothing but praise for you people but right now im quite pissed about this...

do something and please today, otherwise i wont be able to look into it until next year....

[Kord]

Ugh, I am a German too, using Windows Vista.
I, too, would like this game to be completely in English, not in some horrid German version...what can I do??

Hi,

I've bought this game on steam, and I can only play in English or German, but I'm french, and there's no way to have french subtitles.... I've tried to change the LanguageID value to french, but the game is still in English. English people who can't play in english and french who can't have the french version... very weird ! So if anyone knows any other solutions to change that, it could be very nice !

[HoratioTMarley]

Also hate to see German interface options. It is awkward to switch between languages all the time. This is not acceptable Telltale! I certainly won't start messing around with my OS settings just to get the game to run entirely in English.

[Clyssandre]

Well, I just sent an email to the support. I'll tell you if I get an answer about this issue.

[Xpider]

I've done so. Selected German. Downloaded. Problem.
No Idea.

That's not a Problem for ME. I am ready with this Episode in English. But my 9 years old son, should play in German.

So, no solutions?

[der_ketzer]

Well it seems the german PC-Version works. Is there any possible way you can install that one and copy the files over?

[BenderDW]

em guys, did you read all the posts? SatoshiChiba posted a solution that's working fine.

I also had the problem with the german interface though I downloaded the english client.

Still, it would have been nice to choose what we want from inside the game and not have to go play in the computer settings or the registry.

[Krayzie Jackson]

assuming this problem concers mostly german speakers ,i give u my solution in german
weil einfacher für mich.
Falls ihr das spiel zum laufen gebracht hab,deutsche untertitel aber englische synchro, könnt einfach die deutsche sprachdatei mit der englischen ersetzen.
Die datei kann ich euch schicken, wenn ihr wollt. Einfach pm mit e-mail an mich schicken.Habt ihr die Datei geht ihr in das Verzeichnis des Spiels.

Recht klick auf BackTotheFuture101--->paketinhalt zeigen--->contents--->Resources--->Pack

Dort fügt ihr die deutsche Sprachdatei ein(0_BackToTheFuture_pc_german_voice.ttarch) und löscht die englische(2_BackToTheFuture_pc_voice.ttarch)

I've had the same problem on my Windows Vista DE system!

For Vista the regkey is a bit different:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telltale Games\BackToTheFuture101.exe

You have to add the key "Language" (String/Zeichenfolge) and set its value to "english". Then everything works fine!

@Telltale: Please fix this for the next episode! I'd also like to change the language setting of the game in the game..


Cheers,

Hello,

I downloaded the "english" version of the game (there is a choice between english and german), but when I launch the game, it is in French, and there is no option to switch back to english (or I least I didn't find it).

I guess it's because I have a French XP version. But it would be wrong to assume that because of this, I want to play the game with menus, hints etc. in French.

I mean playing BTTFTG in French would be like watching a performance of Mozart's Zauberflöte in english: an heresy...

Does someone know how I can set the interface language in the game?

Thanks

[Strayth]

It's just subtitles... Get over it...

But yeah, as a matter of fact, I know how you can fix this.

Tu n'as qu'à lire ce topic :

First of all ... thanks for releasing the game in english and german at the same time, many fans will celebrate this day.

However ... I prefer to play my games in english (even if I am german), so I downloaded the version with english voice, so far so good.

The problem: all on-screen texts, menus, some ingame graphics ... are german.
How can I set it to english?

[hatless sam]

I'm not sure but I do wonder if it makes the choice based on your OS language settings.

[Krohn]

Yes they do.
You can set the region for non unicode programs to english to get english text in the game.
(There was a thread with details for that somewhere on this board)

But it is annoying as hell, and I hope telltale will fix th issue for later episodes, as I don't want to twist my system configuration for the two hours of play every time.

[SCUM_master]

Thanks :-) And I see that my message was directly moved in the right topic.

By the way: No I don't want to get over with it

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...

Well, I'm using XP and the "Gebietsschema" - trick didn't work out for me - not even after rebooting my system. And frankly, even if it had, that's not a proper solution. And I certainly won't mess with my registry..
