Achievement app wrong language

stephenwoods75 · Jun 26, 2014

I live in portugal , have an english xbox live account and use a smart dns so english apps work.

on the achievement app half the game achievements are in portuguese the other half in english, so i thought i'd check smartglass but its the same.

Download titanfall update just and all the achievements have changed from english to portuguese , this is a pain having to translate them all. Could use please fix this for us expats living in a different country , thanks

:)

Achievements wrong language

Hi!

If you reset the language on the console, you can try deleting the console cache with the

power cycle system. You should also delete your profile from the console and re-download it again.

Achievements in wrong language

My friend (Kilofish) and I have the same problem and yes.. It's annoying.

I've seen a thread where DigitalAssassin says :

Hey mate, apparently achievement language on the Xbox One is based on your IP address, so where you are located. I think if you hook your Xbox up back on an English region they may revert.

(this was to someone who's living in Korea and wanted English achievements) If it is based on my IP-adress, my achievements should be in Dutch (but I still prefer English)

DenseCrab46344, Kilofish and I live in the Dutch part of Belgium.

Is there a way to change all this to English or even our language ?

It always worked on the 360.

I've got the exact same issue, but mine have changed to german!

Any answers to this problem?

Same problem here: changed from english to french but only for Titanfall. I'm wondering if this is because this is my only DIGITAL game? (All the rest are disc-based.) I really hope MS are aware of this and will do something to sort it out.

Achievement languages are based on your IP location on the Xbox One for some reason. The locale setting on your console won't change the achievements language.

It has been submitted to feedback.xbox.com but who knows if/when Microsoft will address that particular issue.

Hi SadisticZeus,

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it.

Yes you are right, it is an IP address localisation issue. I have not yet connected the xbone via a VPN, tbh I haven't figured out how to do that yet with a router. However I do have a VPN on my Nexus 6 and found that using the smartglass app without the
VPN resulted in German achievements, but as soon as the app was refreshed with the VPN on the achievements were back in English. So it's a fix, and thank you for that. I hope Microsoft fix this, as it's clearly an unintended result. It makes little sense
that one sets the system language and yet you are confronted with a foreign language.

Just out of curiosity do you have a suggested method for running the Xbox via a VPN? Will this affect my multiplayer or my streaming speeds?

Again, thanks for the assist.

Best,

.
