Forced to play in languages I don't use.

Hi, i have DaI on EA and after the change of origins to EA my games only allows me to play in polish or russian, no english at all in choices during download window. And Im almost 100% sure i used to play it fully english when app was still ORIGIN, just like DaO which i can pick from whole list of languages to this day. When I do download it, the game launches with both english and polish mixed - one for voice and one for text. Like why?? I want my game to be fully english and it now  when searching it is said ithat game is region locked to polish options even tho i don't even live in poland so its frustrating that suddenly I cannot play the game because of that. Why region lock something so crucial as language of a game? I wanted to make my bf play the game that i love and now we can't because suddenly me owning a game still doesn't give me right to pick a language freely. The only options i possibly see is refunding/deleting a game that i had since 2014 and buy a new one just to have another region unlocked? And the fact I live in Finland will possibly force finnish/swedish only anyway... Is there a easy fix to force english on the game?  

And yes, I have my OS in english, my EA app is in english and region is Finland.

    The thing is, i bought it long time ago while in Poland, but i remember it being fully english then, because I never played any game in polish or russian, i even have videos and screenshot from my first playthrough being in english too!  The weird thing is that whenever i try to download, english language pops up for a split second in dowload window and is gone again before i get to interact with anything.  I talked with EA support but they gave me few solution about region change that didn't work, told me to use nexus mods to dowload packs and then said they will report it to game team to possibly fix that, but well, it might take a week, year or I might actually never get the answer since it was more of a bug report than open ticket.

    DAi PC games that are sold in Poland are language locked to Polish and Russian.
    So if you game was in English you changed the language files with unofficial versions from the Internet as this is the only solution for this problem. 

    The likelihood that EA will "patch" this in any way is imho zero.
