Battlefield 4 download language problem

My problem is very frustrating and maybe a little costly.  On the other hand, there might be a very simple solution and I am just overlooking it.  The short version is, I have a Chinese version of Battlefield 4 via Origin platform, downloaded; and need the English version.  And, I should not be charged again for as new purchase.  Long version is:

I live in Taiwan, am primarily an English speaker, downloaded Origin here, and the language was automatically set to Chinese.  I could not figure out how to change to English until tonight after looking around several sites.  However, before changing it, I had purchased a download for Battlefield 4 from Amazon and then redeemed it through the Origin client.  I can read a few Chinese characters, and downloaded it.  But later realized it had download the Chinese version.  I do not know if it asked me about language choice; but I cannot remember ever seeing the character for language anywhere.  It seemed to just set to the Chinese version automatically.  Now, I have the Origin platform set to English but a Chinese version of the game which not playable because I can only read about 5% of the characters in the game.  Will Origin let me download an English version, or are they going to charge for another download.  Or would there be a way to change the language of this one?  It would be sad if they do not offer a free solution; as the download problem was not my mistake.

Lastly, it has not been possible to talk with customer service so far.  Just purchased this computer and need to get a microphone.  Having them call me is not an option because they will only call North America.

    If there is any doubt that the language setting of the Origin client was the cause of this download issue, please see my earlier postings where I have asked how to change the client platform language.  My email did not show the one reply that came from someone in the community and I just noticed the reply tonight while trying again to get things set up to download Battlefield.

    Hello @yiwandongxi

    Usually language of the game depends on the region where it was purchased. If the game was purchased in China, the language of game will be in Chinese. Also for Russia, Germany, France and etc.  

    In your case I think you will need to contact EA support to solve your problem with the language of the game:

    1) Go to http://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/  .2) Select a game or product and select your platforms (Mac or PC). 3)Select a Topic (Some topics do not support the option "Live Chat". If you select "Account Management" option "Live Chat" will be available. If you select a "Account Security" option "Live Chat" will not be available). Also, I advise you prepare all information about your Account.   Other methods to contact EA support.

    Change you location to United States:
