Mass effect 3 serious glitch

I live in Russia, but i am not Russian, i bought ME3 collector's edition ,and the interface language is in russian, i dont want to play with russian interface, and in the settings, i can't change it, 
I got sick of the matter, and downloaded ME3 in english and installed, with my collector's edition CD key, it works well, then come sthe problem, once i get the update, the title screen is weird, instead of the normal screen, i get numbers, and only numbers, the whole menu is numbers, the whole thing is numbers, i can't do anything, i have had to install and reinstall the game 4 times in the last 2 days, is that fair!

I buy a lot of games on steam and they're not in russian, beacause i sepcifically stated that my language is ENGLISH! 
why can't i get normal ENGLISH! and i have tried to buy on the US website, it keeps redirecting me to the russian one, at least offer a choice, between russian or english, or do something!!

    everyhting is in order, in regisrty and everything, 
    it's ok though i figured it out myself, i deleted the language dll files in the game directory, and voila, it must have been a conflict in initiating te various dll, probably a glitch in the exe file, anyways, now it's working as it should be, thank you for your timely replies 

  • Yes those are the binary files I mentioned, what happened when you deleted the files is you were automaticaly updated with new ones by origin. Glad it worked out, be sure to mark this problem as solved =)

    the solution didn't work, don't know why, when i update after installing the DLCs, the welcome screen and menu all have numeric values, for example, on the welcome screen, instead of "Press any key to continue" i get "234521$"  and thats the best part, all of the menu is now associated with numbers and dollar signs, i followed the exact steps that you recommended but still nothing

  • in order for the language pack to work you may need to reaply everytime you update reinstall and repair. You need to amke sure all the language binaries are present  and reinstall every file in the language pack .  Also make sure that your registry files are set to en_US

    Under ">your Origin drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3" there is a GDFBinary_xx_XX.dll. (xx = your language code)

    But how did this error happen?

    I think it's becuse i'm dualbooting with linux and windows, past i let all my steam games (linux + windows) in the same directory, so there were bugs when I used windows games xD Now it's separated folders 🙂
    THx !
