    How to change the language of a game or redownload it with a different language?


    I own an Xbox Series S that is mostly used by my brother who does not speak English. I have a Game Pass ultimate subscription and my brother makes use of it sometimes. He had downloaded Far Cry 5, a game I wanted to play, however he had changed the language configuration on the system to Spanish and the game downloaded with a the Spanish (Spain) dub, I played the game for a few hours but I just can't stomach it any longer.

    I don't want to play the game like this, i want to play it in its original language, bearing in mind that I can speak it. I've tried to troubleshoot a couple of ways, I tried looking for a language change option in game but no luck, I obviously changed both the console language to English and console region to the US and restarted the console, that did nothing either. I de-installed and re-installed the game on my console making sure the language and region settings were set to English and US respectively (which I might add successfully solved this issue for the game Hades, which was also in Spanish and after reinstalling it, the language changed to English with no problems) but still, I was not successful.

    Next step would be to delete all save-files and stored data from the game and re-install again, but i don't want to lose the progress I made.

    So, is there a way to change the language on the game from Spanish to English, preferably without having to delete all of my progress?

    Or am i doomed to lose the hours of gameplay I put into the game already, or even worse, stuck with the Spanish dub?

    :)

    How to change the language of a game or redownload it with a different language?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this JJ_2008#1311

    I found this strange, you should be able to change between languages as soon as you change your console language to a different one and try to open a game (usually it ask you if you want to download the language pack or not)

    Let's try something different, can you try setting your console language to English (UK) <Or any other English variant> and see if you're able to change the language to English one more time?

    ----------

    In any case, please set temporarily your console language and region to Spanish / Spain (or any Latin American country).

    Once the console restarts do this:

    1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.

    Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.

    3. Plug the console power cable back in.

    4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    After that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

    In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

    Finally, change the console language and region to US (or your country) and try again Far Cry 5

    My achievements became French

    Sometimes if you play a game in a different language and pop the achievements in that language (French for instance) you can redownload your profile and it will fix the language. I've done this after playing Halo 3 in another language (Korean, I think) and
    it changed it to English.

    Skyrim language

    I'm well aware of the different languages available. If you can't change the language in the game and the language of the game does not change when you change your own billing language as stated
    here. Then there's nothing we can do about it, there's no way to "exchange" a game in a different language.

    Change language from XBOX (Beta) Game

    ...the game has to have the option INSIDE the game, isnt it?
    There are multiple factors that might or might not allow you to change a language.

    First of all: The game has to have the specific language installed. Depending on the game, some games ONLY have one language built in (even if it's available in different languages around the world). If that is such a game, there is nothing you can do.

    If the game DOES HAVE the different languages (and English is usually always present, if it's a multi-language installation), then it depends on how the game chooses the language.

    Most modern games (and games that come from consoles) try to detect the language from the settings of the Operating System.

    So if you run your Windows 10 in Spanish, the game will automatically be in Spanish.

    Some games do have settings to override that automatic setting, but not all games do have that option. If the game does not have the option to change it, and you are SURE that the game has the English language pack installed, then you need to change the
    language of your Operating System.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Download code

    its not a regional issue^. xboxs have been able to translate games through different languages.you have to move to your settings and fix your language, if it doesnt change then you cant change the language, this is most likely because its a downloaded game
    and not a disc game for the language translation is only known for working with disk as they come in different languages.
