I was wondering whether or not league has an option that doesn't involve 3rd party tampering to change the language of the game. Many exchange students in my college have been using 3rd party software to change the language of the game ranging from korean to spanish. I wonder if riot would ever give us the option to change the in game language. What do you guys think?
slippykitten9 votesNo. You should have to play with the language of the server you are on. This is a team game relying heavily on communication. If you cannot communicate in the language of the server you are on, you are a constant point of frustration for every team you will be on.
This option would only encourage people to communicate in an inappropriate language for the server, assuming that it is ordained by riot, causing toxicity in games.

I am not sure how this guy is even getting "approved" lol.
For the record, even the title of this thread is "League should let us choose the language we want to **HEAR **the game in".
How is champion's choice of language when speaking have anything to do with in-game communication at all lol?
Oh well nice troll, you've certainly got me hook for all intents and purposes.
Jeddy0172 votesWhat are you talking about?The OP is talking sbout the language in game like switching from hearing Garen in English to hearing him in Japanese. He's not talking about speaking to English players in Spanish
kunkudunk1 votesFirst off, even if the game is on NA servers I can talk to my team in any language regardless except like Chinese. It's kinda how the alphabet works..... The poster wants to be able to use the champion voices from other languages since they have different voice actors and such. So basically, your insistence that what he suggests would allow me to talk at you in French or something is irrelevant as I can already do that. Si tu ne parle pas en francais, tu peux partir.

i think OP meant the VO so you have all the text in englsh, but the voice overs are for example japanese (da japanese tf VO...uuumph)

Shield Villain3 votesI really can't stress how annoying it is to queue up for a game, only to find that the other 4 people I'm playing with are a premade, and speaking only korean, chinese, or a language non native to North America, like Portuguese. It can get incredibly frustrating trying to figure out what they want too, as pings are often not enough. And if I ask for ganks early or something, I have no idea what to reply when all I can understand is my champions name.
It's a nice sentiment, but I think you should have to speak at least enough English to understand the announcer if you're playing on the NA Server. That way you can communicate just the essentials to your team. Like "Hard leash me" "No leash" "Going Blue then bot" "Going Red then Top" "Ward baron please" etc.

You aren't speaking the native language either, so this "reason" is kinda bunkers.
Also this thread is more or less asking for an option to choose the language the character speaks in-game, and not the display language. And even if it is, it's not affecting you so why should you care? I don't get it.
Jeddy0171 votesYou might want to reread the OP.He's talking about the in-game langauge that is spoken.Like switching from Jinx in English to Japanese,just for every spoken line instead.
SEKAI2 votesRiot: "No. We will never give you the option to change the VO."
Player: "Why?"
Riot: "To protect the life cycle!"
FluxBound1 votesRiot: Because spaghetti code
Ayame Isaki2 votesit would be cool if you could have different settings for different things.
For example, I'd love the announcer to be in a language I don't know but the tool tips and champions to still be in English.
AquariusGine1 votesI also want to know if it's wrong to use the 3rd party program to change language.
Is this a bannable offense?? I fell in love with the new Japanese voices and I want to use them
TDubH1 votesSince it doesn't affect yours and other people's gameplay in most cases Riot will NOT ban you, this is why custom skins work. Now if the japanese voices also turned you into a SkillShottu Dodgingu Grand-uh Masterrrr then rito would take offence

You can download the VO i hope and replace them. Shouldn´t be an offense at all.
Dengeden1 votesPretty much this. Do the terms of service we all unwittingly agreed to contradict changing the game's code like that? Heck, you probably don't even need a 3rd party program.
Also, licensing issues could be a thing. I don't know if they'd have to pay the VAs or the studios more for a worldwide thingy.
Laereth1 votesIt is kinda odd that you can't, as it is not like those languages don't exist since they are present on the relevant server (i.e. French and German on EUW). I find especially odd that there is no french VO for North America considering Canada as a large contigent of francophones (and as I stated the French VO is there...on EUW).
Captain Aishi1 votesI'd probably just do a mix of Korean Lissandra, Italian Renekton and Russian Aatrox if I could select individual champion voices... I wish...
COBRA C0MM4NDER1 votesI'd like more mods available (if they are available), not just for the language...but the FONTS! change that shit. or let us change it without breaking the rules or ToS
Gimme a font that is fun, or perhaps a damage box that lists my stuff like RECOUNT, maybe a bigger sized or resizable map.
and maybe...just maybe, charge us an extra $5 to our accounts for that service (one time payment) and I'm sure the die hard league players will hop on with no problem other than the bitching/complaining of the cash grab.
as long as we can change what we see and interact with, without needing to change the game itself.
FakeGravity1 votesReally third party? I just change the region file of the game to add the language to the menu without changing any server functionality which is totally possible thx to eu server have multiple languages options
