DAO : Can't change subtitles language

Hi, I've been wanting to go back to adventuring in Ferelden. I already know there's a lot of problems concerning languages for the dlcs etc to the point where I do have a folder with the dazips for ...

Looked up some solutions online specific to Awakening not having its language files and found one that suggested to repair it so I gave it a try and... it worked.
So for those having similar problem here's the solution :
If you're missing an entire language other than english entirely : Uninstall the game and do a clean reinstall in the language you want.
You might want to check if you have all the files in the core_ep1 (Dragon Age/packages/core_ep1) and or/look up a list of files for the language from SteamDB (which was my reference since it seems the french and english folders don't contain the same files). Or as a rule if you don't find an fr-fr folder or any file inside...
In this case use a repair on the game and it should download the missing content (don't know why it doesn't straight away)
If you're missing an entire language in Awakening only : Try repairing the game seems dumb especially after an install but somehow it works (at least as far as populating files does haven't tried to play Awakening yet)
If you're missing an entire language in dlcs other than Awakening : I'd suggest looking up at https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Downloadable_content_(Origins) for the content you have and using daupdater.exe (Dragon Age/bin_ship) to install the dazips you'll get that should fix the issue

Update : Mostly fixed. Went through uninstalling/reinstalling the game and making sure to do so in french (after saving all the en-us language files I could find just to be sure). After the download both languages were present... with the exception of the ones in the core_ep1 (awakening ?) where only en-us is present.
I didn't check the other dlcs since I have the dazips so once installed there is no language missing

So the issue for the main game and most DLCs is fixed. There is still the fact Awakening only has english sub and voiceover

Thanks for the help so far though x)
