Language choice when installing a game completed
Added by
sfonor Just like Steam allows you to choose among available languages, Galaxy should do the same.
Drejzer This wishm, is in fact not complete.
Preffering to play games in one language, but wanting to play one specific game(s) in another is a use case.
kode54 It also sucks for my Polish friend, who would appreciate being able to play The Witcher 3 in its original Polish, rather than his OS configured language of English. It ignores his language selection, even after he has downloaded and installed the Polish language pack. Fair choice anyway, since I hear a lot of the humor doesn't translate well.
Rianq This feature is not complete. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse remains in the original language with no language selection whatsoever. Armikrog features subtitles in the PC's language even if the selected language is English without any possibility to turn the subs to english. It sucks. Please find a way to tell the game that the installing language counts all the way.
Destro This feature is now available in the preview of GOG Galaxy Update 1.1. To install the Update 1.1, select "Receive preview updates..." option in GOG Galaxy settings and restart the app after few minutes. This feature will be soon available also to users who don't participate in the preview.
Guidgen Isn't it similar request as here: www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy/option_to_set_standarddefault_installation_languages_for_games_in_galaxy
l3x_110 It could also help when downloading the game. You could choose the language that you want and download only a part of the game instead of the entire game.
AFAIK.221 It's really really an essential feature, hope it won't go ignored
KILLA-CONNI You should get to choose before importing folders, too (if it isn't possible to automatically change the setting according to the installed language). Galaxy downloads/overwrites all the german games I've added before I can switch back to german and download/overwrite again.
vinczeady Yeah, it's kind of awkward tha you have to download 3 gigabytes for the English version, and then again 2 GiB for the German...
This really has to be implemented!
Thokali It's unbelievable that such a basic feature has not been there from the beginning. Once more, it shows that Galaxy is actually still pre-alpha, not beta, and just needed to be released prematurely for the distribution of Witcher 3...
But I have my hopes up it will come some day...
loptrinho As of now, the only way to install a game in a language other than english is to switch to backup mode and then download the appropriate installation files manually (and then install the game). If it is possible to let us download foreign language "backup" files it should be a one-liner to add installation support...
Iltek +1
Shofixti1227 +1
Cope Couldnt change it in the launcher but on the homepage come on pls
RobySchwarz Yes, i think this feature is a must!
Rivenverse I am russian, I know there will be always russian translation for the Witcher, but what about the rest? I want this feature too, or at least I want a choice, somne choice.
Halet My fear is that this IMPERATIVE feature will not be voted so much because many ppl don't care about other languages. But I believe it could be a quick fix.
TommyS YES!!! I thought I was too dumb or missed something. Galaxy only allows english installs even on games where I can choose other languages in the website interface of My Library. THIS IS A FIRTS PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION!!! (Sorry for the caps :) )
By the way - it would be even nicer to allow parallel installs in different languages...
Trilarion This is really incredibly important! Sometimes I prefer the english version, sometimes the version in my own language. No way, Galaxy can know this. So enable language selection before install (if necessary with a smartly chosen default language).
