There's currently no way to change the VO language, but that would be good feedback for the boards! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/

to post feedback here, so I scuttled over. But seeing how some threads already ask for it, I hope it's ok to make yet another thread about it. Otherwise, please spare me!!! Here's an Ahri Ahri to make you feel good (hope this is the right board too, I don't see a suggestions board)

Anyways, I would really love the option to select the in-game sounds/voices whilst retaining the UI Language, and changing the UI (for the second language English people who may prefer their more native language). Watching some of the professional games in China/Korea made me feel like I want to switch the sounds over just to get a feel of it myself. I also can understand some Chinese (I primarily speak Cantonese) so it'll just be kind of cool to hear something else. And if my parents (who speaks and understands both) come over it'll be amusing to turn my game up and let the game scream out various things in Chinese haha

Please consider this to be an enhancement in future versions of the game. I understand I can modify the in-game files/folders to enable this or download 3rd party tools, but I was hoping for it to become a potential feature.

The sound FX are the same for all regions - so that wouldn't change. Also, having the ability to have all region's languages available would mean q super huge patch containing ALL the VO for ALL the languages.

Although, I agree this would be a REALLY cool feature for people that would want to opt-in to that experience, so long as they understand the extra download required.

We try to never say never, so, who knows?! =)

Thanks for the suggestion!

There is a 3rd party app which will pretty easily change your VO files for a different language. If you're interested you can find it here.

You can alter the files to do your bidding.

Simply replace your version of the text with the one language you seek to use.

^ There are many of the available sets. Replacing your current text with one of these and save will change your patcher to this language while it updates the client and launcher (game). Though it makes everything into this language. Including the voiceovers, texts and fonts.
