Can't change language setting for games.

Example: Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.

Both game offers traditional chinese language, I also played them in this language before I even have Xbox game pass. 

Now EA Desktop comes, and xbox game pass with EA Play is only accessable through EA Desktop, I'm forced to use it, now here comes the problem.

- There are no in-game-setting that can change language

- I want to download as Chinese version, however, I can't select the language setting at all. It keeps downloading English version regardless what language I set.

- I installed Origin, and try to set language there. Battlefield 1 issue is solved because somehow I own this game without gamepass. But Titanfall 2, I don't own it, I played through Origin Access at that time. And Origin keeps telling me download failed after setting the language.

So EA, your team should fix it. And I'm pretty sure you won't fix them in at least 2 years, because look at the forum, how many other critical issues are preventing us using it?

  • Hey @Fazel-CP,

    You can change the language, of the game that you want to play, during the installation of said game.

    Hey @cdytoby,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The EA app is still in beta (development), which means that it doesn't contain every most common features just yet. Selecting a downloadable language for a game is one of those features. The teams are still working on the app and improvements are being made on a daily basis.

    Thanks.

    Now EA app is released but we can't always change the language of a game after installation. It's not ok to redownload a 62GB game just for changing language.
    Why did EA release an app that doesn't have the standards for a Steam like app. Sorry, but for me EA app is still in beta and I can't use Origin anymore -_-

    Hey @k0rey03,

    The option to change the install language of games after installation of said game, is indeed currently not an option for the EA app. But I would like to thank you for this feedback, I will make sure to pass it on to the teams.

    I am also missing an option to change the game language after installation.

    I had to install the sims medieval in english because there is no option to install the dutch version. I know how to install in another language because I installed sims 3 and 4 in Dutch without problems but the dutch language is missing during installation. Why is it not possible to switch languages after installation? I can hardly uninstall and install again just to check if the Dutch has become available yet.

    It is also convenient for posting screenshots and testing mods to be able to temporarily change the language to english without installing the entire 50GB of sims 4 again.

    For non-english simmers being able to change the language after installation is a very useful feature which should be part of the EA APP

    Hey @atreya33,

    So even when you want to change the install language of De Sims Middeleeuwen, there is no Dutch option for you?

    @atreya33 Hello, I completely agree with the function to change the language at any time after installation. I miss it very much. I like to change the language of the game when I need to from Czech to English.
  • Mine is stuck on german and doesnt actually change whe i select english, i have set the app itself to english but still propmts with default german 

  • This solution doesn't work in the slightest, changing the language from Polish to Russian does not change a single thing (It stays Polish). Nothing works in this new app..........
