Language pack no longer switchable

Dear Riot, Previously one could change the client language to that of one's preference by modifying the "locale" file in RADS/system from en_us to whatever you wanted (e.g. ko_kr for korean). However, this no longer works as of last patch. I received an instantaneous reply with ticket I submitted saying that it was being investigated but I have seen nothing of sort on the forums/news/announcements. It's been a while since, and it would be lovely if you guys could make an official acknowledgement of the problem, or point me to a post about it if it was already being worked on. Thanks for reading.

Hi iP1ayJarvan,

Officially, language switching has never been supported - so any issues that arise from this...you get the idea :-)

Navigate to:

C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\Project\LOL_Patcher\managedfiles\0.0.0.0

Scroll down until you find REGIONS, and open this with notepad
You will see something similar to the following. Find the client you want to edit (IE: na), and add the language you want after it

na, na, en_US, A br, br, en_US|pt_BR, A tr, tr, en_US|tr_TR, A euw, euw, en_GB|de_DE|es_ES|fr_FR|it_IT, A eune, eune, en_GB|cs_CZ|el_GR|hu_HU|pl_PL|ro_RO, A ru, ru, en_US|ru_RU, A la1, la1, en_US|es_MX, A la2, la2, en_US|es_MX, A oc1, oc1, en_AU, A

So for example, if we wanted to add de_DE to na - we'd put this before the ",":

|de_DE

So it would look like:

na, na, en_US|de_DE, A

Feel free to play around with it, but make a backup of your original first!
