Hello. My issue is about purchasing Star Wars Battlefront in only 2 languages: russian and polish. You know it is really strange to pay full price only for 2 type of languages, when you want in game english, for example. I had the same problem with Battlefield 4, then in EA live chat I asked to receive english language for this game or just to pay a bit more maybe. But EA chat adviser just blame me for my blindness, that I did not manage to see in a checkout, that there are all languages (but there were only TWO languages: russian and polish). Ah yea, and EA chat guy also advise me to buy another version of this game(where I can find, i guess, Battlefield 4 in english). But nope, If I had wanted to buy this game in english, I would not have done it, because I just can't do it, thats all. Just can't find any type of this game in other languages. Just these: polish and russian. So same problem here, with SW Battlefront. I can't afford english version, becuase I can't just find it and buy it. Only in polish/russian language.So my question is: Is there any possibility to buy Star Wars Battlefront in english version? (Not in a polish/russian version). There must some way!Kind regards,~q_Archangel_p

@q_Archangel_pHey, your way around this would be to purchase a physical copy of the game in an English-speaking region and consume the code on your account. This would then give access to all that region's languages. You wouldn't need the disc, consuming the code should grant sufficient access.

Well, I found some of the russian version video gameplays. All in this Russian language, even sound, so terrible (no offence to russian guys, ofc). EA customer service, I guess, can't help me, but still thank you for you advice. Also, if you in the same trouble as me, you can follow the advice above to buy somewhere a physical copy of the game in some english-speaking region (but here you need to pay additional dollars or euros). But still this is not the solution, but an option.

Same for me. All i know is that Polish version has English voiceover but Russian hasn't. I'm fine with Ru text but we need the way to switch voiceover. This problem exists since BF 3 and i always have to switch files, edit registry and make much more just to play game comfortably. Reddit already have a thread with this issue so just look there. It's good advice to buy game elsewhere but... to be honest... i don't want to search online shops for a key... especially after i already payed 80+$ for ultimate edition with just 2 language to chose from... ahh....I just born and live in Russia so it's my fault 😛Anyway let's hope someone will find the way how to make everything nice and easy... it even may be EA

Well, same territory problem here as well. And yea, I also can remember these magic technics of changing some game files in the root folder. It even works with Bf4 too (somehow, I dunno how I did that tbh). I have already found some seller, but paid like 48$ (more than In our "Origin" rus store). And does Ultimate Edition have a variety of the languages? I saw only polish and russian there (in a store page) as in every edition of this game.

It's really only Ru and Pl even in Ultimate edition. But i cannot find it on the web stores. Origin won't offer me any choice. I can only get a refund, lose pre-order bonuses and try to find a different key... or just wait until someone fix this issue for me.

As far as I know all sounds will be in english regardless of region restrictions. And if you want Deluxe or Ultimate edition - well, you screwed (same as me). There are no deluxe or ultimate edition in retail stores and you can only buy standart edition. You may ask EA Customer Support for more details. Maybe they will be able to help you.

Actually,
Even if you buy and use US version of the game, and try to install it on russian pc (windows 8.1 language also english!!) - menus will be english, but sound will be still Russian!!!
Just tried it, and cannot found any way around it...

There is a way to switch voiceover lang. Just go to pl version, go to options and switch voiceover to english, exit game, then switch game to ru version. You'll get ru texts with eng voiceover. But if you change your settings again it'll return to ru voiceover. Anyway on reddit there is an easy way to do it. But i won't post it here.
