Changing Language
Hi. Am I missing some way to change the language? At the audio menu it seems locked and I cant change it to english. I'm from Brazil, so for now its in Portuguese. Thanks.

As far as I know it is not possible to get the game in one language and subtitles in another, unless your game language includes subtitles but no voice-over.
Thanks for the answer EA_François, it is really a shame that it works like that, it really makes no sense.
If you can, report this behaviour to the developers, so that in future updates or for their next games, we no longer encounter such stupid things.
Because the way people are enjoying Movies and TV Series today, is by watching them in the Original language with subtitles in their native language.
Since BFH claims to be inspired by TV Series and Movies, and since it's starring famous TV Series actors like Benito Martinez, we should be able to enjoy their original voices with the subtitles in our native languages.
Subtitles are tiny text files, there is no size issues including them all during the installation of the game.
And even if publishers want to restrict that to avoid people buying the game from a different country than their own, the game should always have this minimum (if the developers created them in the first place):
- Original Voices
- Voice over in the language of the country in which it was purchased
- Subtitles in Original language
- Subtitles in the language of the country in which it was purchased
- Menus in Original language
- Menus in the language of the country in which it was purchased
This is the minimum. Because if developers took the time to create some voice over and some subtitles and some menus translation, it's a huge waste to not be able to choose them like we want! It really make no sense!
Buying a game 120 € (!!!), and not being able to have French subtitles, for a game claiming to be inspired by modern TV Series, it's a huge step back of 18 years where there was only VHS Tapes and no DVD/Blu-ray!
Please report this issue to EA, DICE and Visceral.
Thank you kindly.
- We'll pass this on, but at this stage in the development of the game, I'm not sure it won't be a bit too late for any meaningful changes to happen.
I'm also very unhappy with that, I own the german version of the game. In Battlefield 3 and 4 the "speech" language in game could be changed to english through the main menu and otherwise the complete language could be changed by the registry. As said here in Hardline it is not possible. I really don't understand why this is. Please EA do something!
- You can do that, only the voices are changed in the Audio tab of the options, instead of the Gameplay one. 🙂
