How to change a Window Store game's language

Martín Pindur · Jun 18, 2019

There are some games featured in the Windows Store, such as Wolfenstein II The New Colossus which doesn't give the player the ability to change the language of the game. I've tried to change the OS language, change the region, to no avail. I've contacted
the Windows support via chat and they told me to get in contact with Bethesda support, which in turn told me to get in contact with Windows support. So nobody knows how to change the language of the game. I want it changed from Spanish to English, so I know
it's possible. Even in the installation folder there are sound files for various languages, including english, but Windows won't let me change anything insdide the folder.

There isn't a shortcut. The main menu shortcut doesn't give an option to properties and there is nothing that launches the game on the installation folder. There is a config file but I don't have permission to modify anything and also tried changing the
permissions but I can't change the folder owner so I can only read files.

I think the language in Windows 10 Store games and apps depends on region setting, not system language.

But I don't have a shortcut to the executable nor couldnt I create one, Windows only creates a Start Meny Tile. Did it work for you?

Nope. The region setting only changes the type of currency, I've already tried it, it does not change the language of the game, neither the system language does. I've already uninstalled the game, changed my system language to english, reinstalled the game,
and it did nothing, the game installed in spanish either way. I'm suspicious it has to do with your Xbox account region, I'm going to try that next.

I'VE FOUND IT GUYS!!! this worked for me like a charm. just change the regional format to the desired language, as stated in this link:

Granted, you be stuck in a horrible format, like me stuck in this **** twelve-hour-day-month-before-day hell that is the american format, but at least I dont have to rely on crappy local dubs anymore, thanks!

The guide above talks only about Forza, but I can confirm it worked for other games, like metro: exodus and wolfenstein 2.
