US/UK soldiers not speaking English

Product: Battlefield 1
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug American and UK soldiers are speaking the game's install language (German for me), not English.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Install the game in German, play as US or UK on a multiplayer map. (I've only tried German, not sure about other languages).
What happens when the bug occurs? On any maps featuring American or British soldiers, their "spotted", "under fire", "taunts", etc are all in German (my game's install language) instead of English. This can be confusing, particularly on maps where the other team speaks German as well (which is a lot, considering this is a WWI game).
Please select your region North America
In what game mode did the bug occur? Conquest
AMD or Nvidia Model Number GTX 1080 (ASUS)
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16 GB

‌

As stated in the description of the bug, American and British troops are running about yelling in German. This makes it difficult to track which team I'm on in the middle of a firefight.

I haven't changed any of the audio settings in the game, but I don't think "local voice only" is active (Italians are speaking Italian, and the Turks speak Turkish); it seems limited to English-speaking nations).

    Hey @f4wildweasel, there are 2 options you have to change in the audio settings:

    Language: English  (in German Sprachausgabe/Sprache).

    My team speaks my language: OFF.

    These are my settings, only Germany and Austria speak German now.

    Please try this and keep us updated 🙂

    But the commentator will speak English as well, i hope that won´t be a problem.

    I originally had the game installed in English, but switched it to German specifically for the commentator voice (I prefer hearing Anton/Bruno/etc over Apples/Butter/etc, and there isn't a "commentator language matches team" option.).

    Are English-speaking soldiers just hard-coded to speak the game language instead of English?

    I liked the German terms as well, but I also disliked the problem you described.

    That´s why I changed it completely to English.

    I guess, like you said, Britain and USA seem to be somewhat like the "main" characters and always seem to speak the game´s language. 

    I will change the languages later and see if that´s true.
