Hey guys,
I bought a Battlefront 2 Star Wars but since I live in Brazil my game came in Portuguese. I want to know where I can change to English since I'm used to Star Wars in this language.
Thanks.
If you bought the game at the polish Origin shop or a polish version elsewhere, then that is the only language this version supports.
If you bought the game inside Poland or at the Polish Origin store you get a polish key.
It is always the Game Key that matters. Games in the Origin store in Poland are usually cheaper than in other Origin stores, that's why the language is locked.
If you buy a key at Amazon UK or Amazon Germany or a physical disk outside of Poland you will get an international key. (Check the language though)
Here is the link to the Polish Battlefront II forum.
@holger1405"Games in the Origin store in Poland are usually cheaper than in other Origin stores, that's why the language is locked."
Again this *. That's not true at all. Actually SW BF II at origin in poland cost 50 pounds (standard version) and at amazon.co.uk 34pounds.
Amazon.com 42 dollars (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Battlefront-II-PC/dp/B06ZXXYSJS?th=1)

You completely missed the point.

Even so, check origins stores i.e german/fra etc origin SWBFII = 59.99 euro / in Poland = 59 euro . So what the [Moderator edit: profanity removed] are you talking about ? You only repeat EA [Moderator edit: profanity removed] every time.
BTW. I bet you are not aware. Comparing purchasing power between countries in Poland we actually pay even 3/4x more for SWBFII (and games general) than guy in germany/EU/USA countries this is not 1:1 ratio. As reward we get pretty expensive *##d up game with only russian/poland dubbing without english..and rubbish explanations.
I see you edited your post about seven times, I guess that was a good idea, I still edited it a little more.

That is exactly the reason why the game in the Russian and Polish Origin shops are usually cheaper at release. As it was also the case with Battlefront 2.
Furthermore, and as said before, you are free to purchase the game (or a game key) at Amazon Germany or Amazon UK (for example) and get yourself a international game key.
Oh, so glad to see people are really talking about it! ) Wait, no.. Sad. Yes. >.<"
It is so disappointing to see such a great game and be unable to play it on english.. T_T"
Honestly, is not it completely ridiculous that on "Origin" games can not be accessed on their original language?
People are waiting for this game, they are willing to play, pay, support this game... And they can not do so. Some will buy it, will find out that no English for them, will be enraged. Some will open Origin, will see that there is no English, will not buy at all. Either way people are disappointed and mad. What for? There were those who asked support and received an answer that it is not an attempt to care about people making the game more comfortable with localisations. According to EA support such restrictions were made simply cuz some people attempted to make their own money on illegal trading of En versions. But still can not get it. In order to play people should have an account, right? If access can be gained only by using an account with confirmed purchase of the game, then what's the problem? EA should not lose money anyway. More to the point, by keeping EN version locked they are losing much more, since lots of people simply will not spend their money on uncomfortable versions, no matter how much they are willing to do so.
Doubt that my opinion matters, but still.. Better to say than be quiet when an obvious problem exist.
If you bought the game at the polish Origin shop or a polish version elsewhere, then that is the only language this version supports.
How come the German version supports English then? As far as I know the national language is still German so they shouldn't have the English version available.
There is no reasonable explanation for limiting access to languages in a game just because someone does not live in a certain part of the world in the first place.
This is especially the case if the versions are known to exist. All this policy does is forcing people to listen to bad voice acting even if people would prefer to listen to the game in the original language that Star Wars is associated with.
Fun fact, I had the exact same issue with Battlefront. So before purchasing Battlefront 2 I was promised again and again that it will be implemented later, until it was too late to even get a refund.
So as a summary, you are missing the point of the arguement, we do not ask for a "captain obvious" description as to what the policy states, most people want to hear reasoning behind the decision because from a marketing point of view, it makes no bloody sense whatsoever to limit something as basic as a game's language version.
PS
The "Origin store" version is forced on the user, so there isn't really a way to acquire another version aside from travelling abroad. Even if you try to go to the UK or USA store per browser, the moment you select a game you want to purchase, it directs you to the store of your region. Not that the prices differ that much.
I understand that this is somewhat frustrating, I also would like EA to handle this differently.
I also tried to explain one of the reasons behind this politic above in this thread.

You can buy an international version key at one of EAs trusted resellers, for example Amazon Germany or Amazon UK.
