Is there a way to do this?
All the enemy worms are now talking in Brazilian Portuguese and dropping f* bombs all the time. In European Portuguese we don't do that and it's really weird. I would like to play this game with my little sister.
I guess it depends on where in Portugal do you live. There are certain areas of Portugal in which swearing is regular, kind of the way it is in Spain; the curse words simply don't have the "heavy" linguistic and social connotations everywhere, for instance, in the Porto area it is quite offensive to call someone "gajo", which in the southern Portugal is not only not offensive as it tends to be the norm when talking about someone (trust me, I wasted years of my life in college studying "bolsas linguísticas por região").

Still, whatever your case may be, I was never really fond of the automatic "Portuguese" setting of the Worms' games of the past; if you decide to play a quick match against the CPU there's no way, to my knowledge, to change the default language, and it will *always* be BR-PT, because the game detects you're playing on a PT-based OS (even if it is PT-PT and not BR-PT). You can edit every team's soundbank, though, and give them English voices, so, if you plan on playing with your little sister and don't really want her to keep listening over and over again to the annoying Brazillian Portuguese speaking worms saying "que f*da!", I'd recommend against playing quick matches; take your time editing teams so that none of them uses the Portuguese soundbank or, better yet, create all new teams with the soundbanks of your preference.

I'm assuming you're referring to Worms World Party Remastered, so, if you're talking about any other Worms game, please let me know so I can help you on how to create and edit teams any further.

Hello,
is there a way to do this in Armageddon? I tried editing the default teams (CPU1 etc) but quick play, deathmatch and missions use custom teams like Royalty and they all have the annoying default language voice. I looked through the game files but didn't see anything obvious.

I was having the same issue : Armageddon is detecting that my computer is in french, and so I have french voices (which aren't the funniest :P) for quick play, deathmatch etc. (= not editable default teams)
I thought about something : why not going in the files, and simply replacing the French sound speech bank by the English one ? And it worked ! Here is a step by step, in case it could help you or someone else (I'll take my own example).

1) Go into the folder "C:\GOG Games\Worms Armageddon\DATA\User\Speech"
2) Here, create a copy of the "French" folder. You should now have two folders with french language : "French" (the original) and "French - Copy"
3) In the same way, create a copy of the "English" folder. You should now have two folders with english language : "English" (the original) and "English - Copy"
4) Delete the original "French" folder.
5) Rename the folder "English - Copy" by "French" (so the game will think this folder contains the french soundbank and will use it by default).
6) And voilà :)

In the end, you should have :
- "English" folder = Original untouched English files
- "French" folder = English files, but in the french language folder (which is the default language folder for my french computer)
- "French - copy" = French files. You still can use them when editing your team : yep, while this folder is in = "C:\GOG Games\Worms Armageddon\DATA\User\Speech", you'll be able to use it when editing team !

Of course, from this example, French is the "default detected language" that you want to get rid off, and "English" the one you want instead, but it can be any other language (=folder in "Speech").

Hope this will help some others :)
