Add audio language options to the Battlefield 6 menu settings

We strongly request that after the release of Battlefield 6, unlike Battlefield 2042 where the voice-over is forced to be tied to the system language on Xbox, the game should add voice-over customiza...

While there isn’t an official way yet to have separate text and voice languages in Battlefield 6, you can modify the audio packs on PC to achieve that.

I wanted to have German text and subtitles with the English voiceover, so I did the following (credits go to StrangerLynx, who found an old Steam guide for Battlefield 4):

Switch the language via the EA App or Steam properties to the language you want for the voiceover (in my case, English).
After the automatic download is complete, copy the desired sound files.
- I created a new folder on my desktop and, inside it, two subfolders: MP (for Multiplayer) and SP (for Singleplayer).
- Copy the voen.toc file from Battlefield 6\Data\Win32\loc into your MP folder.
- Copy the voen.toc file from Battlefield 6\Data\Win32\SP\loc into your SP folder.
Rename the copied files to match your desired text language — in my case, German: voen.toc → vode.toc.
Switch the language back via the EA App or Steam properties to your normal text language (in my case, German).
After the download is complete, copy your renamed files back into the original folders:
- The file from the MP folder goes to Battlefield 6\Data\Win32\loc.
- The file from the SP folder goes to Battlefield 6\Data\Win32\SP\loc.

Now your game should have your normal text language and a separate voice language in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

List of Languages and the abbreviation

ko for Korean

fr for French

it for Italian

ja for Japanese

en for English

de for German

pl for Polish

es for Spanish

br, cn and mx exist too, but I’m not completely sure which languages they stand for exactly.

It really does seem to be a bit of a matter of luck whether it works right away, but I’ve found another method that seems to work better (starting from step 2 in my description below):
After setting the game back to your native language, copy the English voen.toc file (do not rename it!) directly into both loc folders.
Delete the original vode.toc files (or the one for your language) from both folders so that only de.toc (or the one for your language) and voen.toc remain.
Start the game and go into the campaign.
A warning message should appear prompting you to repair the game: Close the game and click on Repair in the error message.
Once the repair is complete, start the game again.

Now the game should use English voices and your native text. It’s best to test it directly in the campaign.

  Thanks for your input!
  First solution didn't work.
  For a second one, I'm kinda of stuck at step 4:
  A warning message should appear prompting you to repair the game: Close the game and click on Repair in the error message.
  
  I'm not able to launch the game because of the repair warning message. I also don't see a "repair" button anywhere in the message. The only option I got is "ok".
  Did I miss something?

    Do you have the steam version? I own the EA version, so there possibly is a chance that the repair function doesn't work the same way as on the EA app.

  "Thank you for your suggestions. However, on the Xbox platform, the language is mandatorily tied to the system settings and cannot be modified independently. I hope the official teams can introduce custom audio options for players to choose from on both Xbox and PS5."
