Installing a game in a language different from the System language

...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.

If you need multiple languages it is possible that one allows for only one language install while the other system may require ALL languages to be installed instead of pick and choose languages. This could be why the large size difference.

Hey Dabljuster -

Yes, a backwards compatible game installed via disc may have different language options than that found on the disc copy of the game. Despite the language of the disc, the language options available are determined according to your region as well as the
languages the game supports (this will vary from game to game.).

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Like was said above, the last games from xbox game studios titles usually dont have a language change. Depends always what language was your system when you installed the game, this is a function based from xbox one.

Hi Vallasin,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is change the global system language. You can always go to
Xbox ideas and post an idea for a different way to select languages.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Brad,

When you say "global system language", that's the OS language/region settings ? So as long as Windows 10 is in english, Xbox app will be in english and all the games installed will be in english ? Is that correct ?

I have the same question as Vallasin. My system is in english, I haven't installed the Xbox app yet.

Thanks!
