    Hi qualk23,

    The spoken language in-game is Simlish. For installing the game itself in English (in-game text) you will need to first uninstall the game, choose English as your client language in Origin (Origin > Application Settings > General > Client Language > English US), restart Origin and then finally re-install the game directly via Origin.

    Nils

  The SimCity language is code specific, meaning that only the native languages of the area you bought it in will be available.

  The russian, hungarian and polish version is a special discounted edition of SimCity, and is being sold online with an invalid "language pack" which will cause a continuous update loop and never install properly. It will install/run fine without the language pack, but only in the stated languages.

  The only way to change the language to english is to contact a Game Advisor and get a new 'english' game code. It has worked for numerous players in other countries who have purchased SimCity at it's regular price. I believe the East EU version is the exception to the rule.

  Note that the Origin reinstall will only change the language to english if the game code has that capability.
