Wrong language

I just downloaded and installed on my iPad. It is in the wrong language.

How do I change it to English?

    Is the written language Finnish or just the spoken language? Sims actually speak their own language Simlish which is not meant to be understood. If the written language is English then its the English version! Cheers and happy building 🙂

    This also happened to me and thought I had a language issue. But written is in English. So I guess they are just speaking Simlish. Just plain simlly (silly). Ha! But in all honesty... Very very annoying!!! Guess EA needed to save some audio money by not having so many voice over talent. :-(

    Sul Sul @ahumphries4,

    Sims only speak Simlish in SimCity BuildIt because Simlish is the official language of the Sims. You won't find a Sims game where the Sims talk like you and me. That's part of the core game mechanics and also something the fans love. If EA paid Katty Perry to sing in Simlish, I think they could afford dubbing the game if they really wanted to 😉

    You'll find Simlish/English dictionaries online if necessary.

    @SSunnudagurr it's a good feedback, thanks! Will pass this to the Studio. 

    In the while, have you guys tried changing the language of your device? The app actually set automatically the language based on the one used on your device (smartphone or tablet) and not only on the Store you have downloaded the app through. So if your device language is set by default on Suomi, the game will be in Suomi as well. 

    Let us know if you're still having this issue! 🙂 

    Thanks!

    My sim city game is not in English.  How do i change it?

  • @RoyalShock69 Mine is in some other language. If this bug has been around for 10 years without EA attempting to fix it, I think I’ll just delete the game. Doesn’t reflect a lot of support from EA.

    How did you manage to play the game, if you did not understand any written instructions and messages?
