    Language region locked?


    We got an Xbox One about 20mins ago and I'm going through settings and noticed that I'm unable to set english as a language in my region.

    How can I change language to english without setting region to US or UK?

    :)

    xbox one language. english in austria/germany?

    Sadly, there's no way to set the system language to English if you don't live in an English speaking country. I have the same problem, I absolutely hate the Brazilian Portuguese dubbed games and keep my settings as English/Canada (because Canada is more awesome, sorry US), but can't use credit card or Xbox Movies without resetting the system.
    For now, the best we can do is vote in one of the several Xbox Feedback demands to dissociate languages from region on Xbox or let you download games on a language different from the system language.

    Hi, your console received the last update? You should be able to do this

    As long as your console is fully updated go to "settings","system",then "language & location". You can change it there.

    We came to conclusion to return this console to the store and get something else instead.

    How do I remove this account now that it will not be used?

    Why is my black ops 2 in spanish?

    One problem.richie it's a xbox 360 game not.a xbox one game

    And blackops 2 is region and language locked

    Downloading a different language will incur the language .lock if.he tries.and get the.dlc

    Black ops 1-2 has a language lock if they use the wrong language disk or game.and download the region locked dlc the dlc is.locked with language of.the region downloading.a different region dlc will cause the language mismatch error (frpm.the 360 days )

    It's.the only language locked game

    Xbox games weren't language independent till xbox one games but.doesn't apply retroactively

    And most bc titles are region locked most.famously cod games

    @op you can't change it.unless you are in a region that supports the language.you are requesting like us English you must.be in the us

    And you would.have to. make .the.correct purchase

    Skyrim language lock

    Sorry but a games language is locked to that region's main language and cannot be changed. If the game was region locked to a specific country in Europe that has French as the main language then I'm afraid that there's no way to change it.

    I bought a physical copy of call of duty black ops 2 for xbox 360 and the game is in German, can I somehow change it to English or Polish?

    Keep in mind cod black ops 2 content is language locked

    So buying a German copy means you must.be in a German region and lamguage dlc

    If you aren't in a German region you must.buy a different disk

    And.MUST match your actual region since blackops is both language locked and region locked

    You can get.xbox one games.and higher which isn't language locked but as mentioned ONLY NEWER GAMES.has language and region independences

    Black Ops 2 season pass not working

    Ok does your account region match your actual region. If thats why

    If disk language doesn't match your actual region that would also be why

    Blackops is language locked and region locked for the season pass and dlc content
