    XBOX achievements for some games are in Japanese


    I've seen this question being asked multiple times trough the years. Earliest I cound find was 2016 and latest 2020.

    For some reason some of the games have their achievements in Japanese while everything else is in English. This issue has plagued my for years now (starting with my XBOX 360) and is still wery much active in my PC Gamepass service.

    Is there any way to fix this or is this just a quirk of working with Microsoft?

    Example issue:

    XBOX achievements for some games are in Japanese

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Azuraeleth, when it comes to Achievements unfortunately Xbox support can't help you, so try to contact True Achievements, they're the ones taking care of the achievements of the games on the platform.

    Hello Georges,

    This is all well and good, but TrueAchievements replied identical answer to the one you provided:

    "This is probably related to your language and/or country setting on your console and/or your Microsoft account. Some games have localized achievement descriptions (for example, I see a lot of them in Dutch). Unfortunately, TrueAchievements is not affiliated with Microsoft and/or Xbox, so we're unable to solve this issue for you."

    As side note to 'TheJokerJD's point, the game I provided the example picture for is mady by Polish developper, so no it should not be in Japanese.

    And as extra fun information I live in Finland and have my language settings in EN (UK) and country setting as Finland. So either way there should be no reason for the Achievements to be in Japanese other than something wierd on the Microsoft server side of data handling.

    Hello, The Achievements may be intended to be Japanese. This may be because the game was made in Japan but the Translate system might not have changed how Achievements looked.

    It seems to me that each version is a separate version, for example for the achievements of the Japanese version, you will need the Japanese game.

    For the achievements of the Xbox 360 version it's the same, these are not considered the same as the Xbox One version.

    1) Delete your system cache
