How to Change Your Language in League of Legends

League of Legends, how can you change your default language setting? LoL, one of the most popular MMO games, has kept its popularity for more than 10 years. With millions of players worldwide, the game also supports dozens of different language options. So how can you change your language selection?

How Do You Change the Language in League of Legends? 2022

To change your League of Legends language selection, you need to find the game's file location. Riot Games titles are generally located in the C:\Users\PCName\Riot Games\Riot Client directory. But if you can't find the directory, you can right-click the LoL Client and select Open File Location.

Once you've reached the Riot Games folder, you need to find the LeagueClient application in the directory where LoL is installed. To change the language, right-click LeagueClient and select Properties. You can play in the game language you want by editing the Target field in the Properties section. After making the change, you need to click Apply and then OK in order.

Making League of Legends English

If you add the –locale=en-GB command to the end of the Target field in the directory mentioned above, your game will be in English. After adding the command, the Target field will look like this:

• C:\Riot Games\Riot Client\RiotClientServices.exe" –locale=en-GB –launch-product=league_of_legends –launch-patchline=live

If you want to run your game in a language other than English, you need to change the en-GB part of the command to the language you want. Each language has its own specific code, and LoL uses these codes for language selection. If changing the language negatively affects your game, you can remove the command entirely.

How Do You Change LoL's Voice Language?

Some players want to change the character and lobby voice lines in the game. If you've successfully followed the steps above, you'll see that the in-game voice lines change too. If you selected English as your text language, the voice lines will also be in English. For now, you can't select the text and voice languages separately.

Why Should You Change Your League of Legends Language?

The language your game loads in depends on the region launcher you installed. For example, if you download the game through a connection from abroad, your language setting is unlikely to be Turkish. Because of this, you may miss out on in-game descriptions and features. The region your account is linked to also matters here. If you're playing on the EU server, your game may default to English automatically. You can check the steps above to fix that.

At the very least, you can play with a different language setting just to see the gameplay variety or voice acting in other languages. When you come across an item description from a different source, it'll be much easier for you if you set your language to match that source.
