One detail makes the disappointment

What's up guys, how are you? I hope you are well and having a great time with the game, I'm loving the game is so much fun
But there is a country here that is not happy with a tiny, easy-to-solve problem!

Why can't I play in the Portuguese language purchased from PlayStation Store Portugal?
In Brazil yes it is in Portuguese.
Why do they do it?
Anthen, The Sims 4, Mass Effect Andromeda, Jedi Fallen Order and FIFA 20 are available in Portuguese on the PS Store Portugal.
What does EA do to localize the language of games?
Portugal speaks Portuguese and not Spanish, why is Spanish in the game and Portuguese is not there?

Please see this detail, it is important to us from Portugal.

The game is fantastic beautiful and cool but one detail makes the disappointment!
For God's sake, Brazilian Portuguese is Portuguese, Spanish is not Portuguese.

  • I think certain lines of the game are in Spanish because of the character's background.

    Not sure how that internationalises, but I don't understand some of them myself (english version), so...

    @speedracer523 Yes...
    But you can enable subtitles
    The Portuguese version also all speak the original language and there are subtitles in Portuguese, That in Brazil...
    Here in Portugal we have no subtitles in Portuguese, only English and Spanish.
  • Subtitled Spanish is still Spanish to me (there's no english note's for those who don't get Spanish)...

    But I think I understand what you mean now.

    The version you get in Portugal is the English/International/Spanish version where the only non-english subtitles are Spanish, right?


    And if I'm correct, the interface is either in spanish or english instead of Portuguese.



    Now, I'm not affiliated with EA in any way, but it is possible the localisation has been set to Spain since that's the largest country on the Peninsula. (In that case, it's between Brazilian Portuguese and Spain Spanish for the 'closest' option.)

    If you right click on the game in your library and go to properties, under advanced options you should be able to set the language (PC). 



    As you can see, however, all of those are only a subset of Origin's interface language.


    Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I know for certain there's Russian and German versions of NFS Heat out there, so why aren't those options in Heat (Russian, I don't see with all of mine)? (Purchased from Australia)

    EDIT: Reread your original post and saw that it was from the playstation store for the PS4. I'm not too sure about that, but I'm sure there's an option somewhere... I doubt the console versions are not multi-lingual.

    Need for Speed Heat has no language in the PS Store 🤪😂😂

    Within the game there is no language option
    Just changing the language of the PS4 system
    Probably the same languages as Payback and 2015.

  • @rickardin87 sorry, I was translating the text on the left for the languages and I think I didn't put in enough for google translate to pick it up as portuguese.
