How to Change to ANY Language in League of Legends [Updated 2023]

[@dncfrm]

its unbelievable how in 2023 this old ass game doesnt have a language change for voices option in launcher...

[@guardiaopatrao4117]

It's 2024 and still the same

same

[@LiarBeeAMV]

It still works, thank you so much! I had trouble changing the language back, you really helped me out there

[@isa-db2rg]

Thank you so much, i was trying to change my language but it didn't work. But after this video it did. It was really helpful !

[@Learning_For_Godot]

I had troubles but then i think what fixed it was, i had to make sure i go to the bottom right of my taskbar and close the client by right clicking then clicking exit. I think the issue is the client needs to be completely closed and not minimized or the settings in the .yaml file will keep resetting. that's why changing the settings in the client as you do in the video at 3:30 is helpful, but the changes don't seem to apply until you fully close it at the bottom right for some people (or you can end it in task manager or restart the computer as someone else did). but it sounds like it does work immediately for other people? idk lol but yeah thanks a ton for the video ^^

[@wubbi7261]

dident work until i restarded the client this way big ups to u man!

[@Duocek]

this step is necessary or this video does not workkkkkkkkkkkk

[@hopesanddreams7102]

Thank you for this tutorial, it works perfectly for me. Nice explanation, no question to ask, directly to the point, no waste of time.

[@ZedSalvatore]

finally someone who isn't brain damaged and explains it well. thank u

[@TheSimpleGuide]

lol, you're welcome

[@FukurouYGR]

Do I have to do this every time the client updates? I don't understand why we can't choose the language we want to play normally like any other game lmao.

[@yauya]

riot does that because according to the region and mostly the language you choose to the client they will show things like live tournaments based on the language you choose, for example, if you choose portuguese it will show you in the home page tournaments from that region. Concluding riot is a dogsht company I don't think that is any hard work to do, they only chose not to because they prefer being scratching their balls and making more skins to get more money instead of adding actual usefull features that even ps1 games might have

[@lixar2391]

Guys if you want to change your language after vanguard patch 1) Open the riot client 2) click the user icon in the top right. 3) click the settings 4) make sure that you are on the league of legends tab 5) change your game text language to the desired language. Once you re open league of legends it will patch in the voices. Hope this helps!!

doesnt work for spanish, it always choose Spanish from Spain not from Mexico. I guess i will continue playing in English :(

[@gersonricardotoribioossio9720]

ok it works, if you complete close the game, i mean closing on task manager :) thank u sir

[@quitravismcclinton1138]

No Arabic 😢

[@felipemindfreak]

Thank you! Finally changed the game to JP

[@itz_metriq]

works perfectly fine but does anyone has a solution that the client stays in that language, or have i done smth wrong? I always have to repeat the steps after logging in again. Tysm

[@BamboozledNoodles]

Does anyone knows how to stop it from reseting every time you close the game to its original language?

[@rayhvncho]

that's what I'm trying to figure out rn, such a bummer really 😅

[@BamboozledNoodles]

Hey, I found a way to fix it hope it helps. For Windows: Right click the shortcut on the desktop once you have done the procedure of the video, then Properties > Shortcut > Advanced > Run as Administrator, and them on the same properties window > General > Click "atributes > read only. Hope it helps! @@rayhvncho

[@Dawhitex]

To fix it: in the shortcut properties, go to advanced, run as administrator, apply. Then go to general tab, tick Read-only, and apply. This is to avoid the shortcut from being automatically edited, which changes the target and ruins the shortcut. You have to do the read only part last because otherwise you'll be denied (naturally)

[@lorenzomedina2464]

still works! somehow mi client updated itself and changed the language back, but the first step worked for me ! 9-19-23

[@midnight9752]

Thanks alot, this guide finally made me able to play with korean after trying multiple other ones before :D

guys what i do when i have problem after i create shortcut and do all things and open the shortcut : windows cannot access the specified device path or file you may not have appropriate permissions | Someone help?

[@shatteredblade5488]

Same here, looks like they patched it sadly

[@TheIfritBlack]

Damn you saved my gaming experience. I play in the BR server and the voices are awful, so i always change to en_US. I was at the point of stop playing if i didnt get the US voices back. Tyvm.

[@lordfadungus1293]

Igual aqui mano, tava perdendo a cabeça escutando as dublagem kkkkkk

[@samjam2295]

I still faced issues with the League client still loading in English. In case the same thing happens to you, try logging in on the Riot Client. Once logged in, do not run League using the Riot client or do not click the foreign language "Play" on League of Legends on the Riot client. Instead, run League by clicking the shortcut you made. This worked for me.

[@ZeKiGamingfrance]

thanks !

[@romanticrelaxationmusic8878]

I am playing on JP server, and it is not allowing me to change to English. Why can't' they make a built-in language change in the game. When I go to the one on the client it is only allowing me to change to Japanese. I know the language, but I prefer English.

Doesn't work for me. 13.20 :(

[@machar504]

I can't open the shortcut. Maybe because of Vanguard ?

Ok just close vanguard, do the operations on the video, then reboot PC and it's all good

idk i did it exactly as it says but its not working with in- game and the actual client. it only works for the launcher.

thanks it finally worked for me. At first this video didnt work either, for those who it also may not work for, you have to sign out of the account you want to change language for first like he does in the video, without this step it won't work

[@pascallehong4113]

How exactly would I change it to an arabic language like farsi or arabic? is the "ANY" in the title just clickbait or os there more to it?

So, i did everything like the tutorial and when i log in, it is still on my home language (spanish) i go back to the notepad and see that it changed it back automatically to spanish (change it to es_MX to en_US but it reversed automatically) help?

[@TheSimpleGuide]

Apparently people who had this issue got it to work by making sure the client is completely closed (check in your taskbar and right click to exit it, you can also check/stop it in the task manager)

At first it opens just fine on korean, however after i close the client and open it again, it changes back to the default language by region. Aby tips apreciated

[@paolodellacasa722]

I have same problem

[@zowolol]

This happens because the shortcut for the league client gets redirected to the riot client after the first launch. To (sort of) fix it, after you create the shortcut to LeagueClient.exe pin that shortcut to your taskbar and delete the one on your desktop, then just add the locale launch option to the shortcut in your taskbar as that won't get modified upon launching the game. This worked for me at least for now and you can switch to other languages by just editing the locale code on the shortcut.
