Language of achievements changed after GT recovery

Take a look at this thread, the achievements take on the same language as your IP, which for you, is in Germany.

I don't have a Xbox One, and yes, obviously it changed it to german, that's what I said. I want to know, if there is a way to change it back to english. And if there is no way to do that, then I'd like to hear a good reason, why.

The translations are really, really bad, and it's ruining the fun for me. I bet there's many other people who dislike this as well.

Btw, it reads as if the achievements on the Xbox One will always unlock in german, if you have a german account? Even if you have the language set to english? If that's so, then I think I just changed my mind and I won't buy one.

Windows and app settings won't change the game language. You need to change the language on your console:

Settings -> System -> Language & Location

Then all your games should be in English. If not, you may need to re-install them after changing the language.

Hello!

So, I contacted the support for this and somehow it is finally working to my liking - the achievements are in english now. I don't know what was exactly the issue, but I will post things I thought are relevant.

It was sorted either by:

1.) someone doing something behind the curtains (I don't think that's the case, but it is a possibility)

2.) Czech republic region is somehow connected to spanish language. I have no idea how or why, but it's an option. I had only 1 language installed on my OS Windows 10 - czech. when I installed english/US and changed the language to it (in win10 -> settings
-> time and language -> language), achievements tab was changed to english as well.

3.) the achievement tab takes the settings from last language added to the operating system. Since spanish was the last language I added (eventhough it was only a keyboard layout), xbox may have remembered spanish was the last language and therefore switched
to it.

4.) A random (?) option was chosen: My operating system had only 1 language installed - czech. And since the achievements probably cannot be displayed in czech and there was no other language installed it chose (somehow) spanish. When I added a 2nd option
- english - xbox account found czech as primary then found english as another language on my PC so it is choosing english.

I have no idea which option is correct or if they are all wrong, I was not provided any explanation, just an information that's a known issue, but it seemed without known fix.

So what I have done to fix this for anyone having the same issue (it may not help you, but it is worth a try):

1.) go to your OS -> settings -> time and language -> region.

2.) change it to United States

3.) go to OS -> settings -> time and language -> language

4.) try to change it to english (us). If you can't, click the link below to access the MS store and find it there and install it. It may take some time (for me the MS store downloads are slow - took me 2 hours to download)

5.) set the language to english / US, you may as well change your keyboard layout to english (us) as well

6.) restart the PC

7.) log in, check the achievements tab - it should be in english now.

8.) go to OS -> settings -> time and language -> region / language and change everything back how it was.

9.) smile and enjoy.

I hope this will help someone else too.

Have a nice day guys and thanks for your replies here!!

To change the language: Settings > System > Console Settings > Language and Locale > Language > Select the language you want.

You can not change the region on your console and you can't transfer a gamerscore
