Mass Effect Andromeda language choice

Unfortunately, Origin has the problem that it locks the language to the IP of where you come from. (and everyone who will say that changing the language in the Origin client helps... it doesn't) F...

    Ok, so I got confirmation from an EA CM.

    In the regions that have only one language option (Russian and Polish) the spoken game language is English. (there is no Russian or Polish dubbing.)

    The subtitles will be in Russian or Polish, depending on the specific region.

This is only a problem if you life in a region where only one language is available. (Poland or Russia for example.)

If you live in a country where the international version is sold you should be able to choose the english languages in the Game menu.

(That is btw also true for the Mass Effect 3 digital version on Origin.)

    One example: I live in Germany and I have a game called The Saboteur in my Origin library.  when I install the game, I choose English as the language I want yet the game is always in German. I have tried changing it in the registry, changing the client language but nothing worked.

    I once read that this is deliberate because they don't want to burden the installation size with multiple language packs. Which is already a bullsh*t reason because I have the same game in my Steam library (was part of a bundle I once bought) and there, you only download the language pack you've chosen on install. If you decide you want another, they download that separately later.

      Well, it depends on the specific game.

      I am a German living in Germany, and I could play Mass Effect 3 in German and also in English right from the start. (changing the language is done in game.) The game came with multiple accessible languages out of the box.

      In DA I the English language pack is accessible via "extra content" section inside the DA I menu as a downloadable language pack. 

      Andromeda is fully German localised, but the international version that is sold in Germany also supports English. 

      So if BW is not changing there Politics completely you will be able to change the language to English at one or the other way. (my money is on the ME3 method.)

      If you want to be absolutely sure wait until the Origin access trial starts, that is on March 16, then you will get 100% conformation if you can change the language in game.  

      For "The Saboteur"

      There can be multiple reasons why a game don't has the English languages version available, in the case of the "The Saboteur" it could be that the German key you presumably bought lock's the languages to German because the game is censored in Germany. But that is just an assumption.
