Hi,

I’m Dutch and I have my xbox set on Dutch, but a few moths ago I bought “Vampire” and that game was totaly in German. I tryed to find where in my languagessettings it said German but I could not find it. So I changed my settings to English and than my game
turned English to. I thougt maybe the gamedevelopers diddent know dutch en german where diffrent languages. When I stoped playing the game I set my console back to Dutch.

So today I wanted to play Halo:The master chief collection and again the game is in German. Every game I played between does two where in Dutch or English.

So I’m a bit confused to why this is happing and how to change this. My xbox has al settings set on dutch, my microsoftaccount is set on dutch. I really dont know how to change this, so I was hoping that someone knows how to fix this. Because my German sucks.

And switching between English and Dutch everytime I play a diffrent game takes forever.

:)

Hi

The Xbox One anniversary update when it is released should allow this as Mike Ybarra from Microsoft has recently tweeted.

Hi there,

sometimes languages do get mixed up, luckily for Halo you can change it to English via the game settings.

I personally think the reason German sometimes gets selected in certain games might be caused that Germany is a neighbouring country of the NL, that assumption isn't the best.

Other times the language is a mistake and usually is fixed in future updates.

The best option to do when you encounter a game in German is to reach out the game devs (or sometimes Xbox Support) to see if they can do anything about it.

As a workaround, which you already used, you can set the language to English (and leave Region to NL) and that should work fine.

Hi there ZUHAYRZIA,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with the language on Call of Duty Black Ops 3.

I recommend to try this:

Try using the game on a different profile.
Try a different copy of Call of Duty Black Ops 3

If the issue persists, try the
Activision Support Forum - Black Ops 3 or
Chat with an Activistion Ambasador or support.

Try this out and let us know the results.

Not currently but that functionality is coming up in a future update later this year.

Hey there Stew! I'd like to start by making a distinction between the console's language settings and in-game languages. You can change the language you see on the console under Settings Hub > System > Console Settings > Language and Locale and this will
change the language on the dashboard. Also, the account region plays a role in what language you will see for content.

As for in-game language, this is completely up to the developers of the game and what region you bought the game in. Most games do not come with several languages built in. Normally you only find this is officially bilingual countries, like Canada (French and
English).

Does this help explain the issue? Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks!
