Voices and subtitles

[Hawkorn]

I can't believe it. I was excited to finally be able to play Mass Effect 1 and 2 with english voices and french subtitles but no.. apparently even in 2021 it's still hard to let the players choose what language they want to hear and read separately. That's a letdown Bioware.

I've already changed it in ME1, now i need it for ME2 and I found the script, already edited it but audio didn't change...

Did you try to launch ME2 in full English just to see if the English audio works ? If you don't have English audio at all it's strange

set /p val=<%%f
set name=%%~nf
set subName=!name:_ITA=!

ren !name!.pcc !name!.pcc.bak
ren !subName!_INT.pcc !name!.pcc
ren !name!.pcc.bak !subName!_INT.pcc
)
)

for /d %%i in ("%~dp0DLC\*") do (
cd "%%i\CookedPCConsole\"
for %%f in (*LOC_ITA.pcc) do (
set /p val=<%%f
set name=%%~nf
set subName=!name:_ITA=!

if exist !subName!_INT.pcc (
ren !name!.pcc !name!.pcc.bak
ren !subName!_INT.pcc !name!.pcc
ren !name!.pcc.bak !subName!_INT.pcc
)
)
)
Pause

Ti consiglio, prima di lanciare lo script aggiornato, di cancellare i file all'interno di ME2/BioGame e fare una verifica integritá dei file di gioco per un'installazione pulita

Ho cancellato e reinstallato la cartella, ho usato il tuo stesso script, ma niente... il gioco e' ancora in italiano... almeno l'intro iniziale con Miranda e l'Illusive man... e' normale che quella parte sia cosi' oppure no?

English: I deleted and reinstalled the folder and corrected the script, but audio hasn't changed... at least in the intro video, i didn't went further, is it normal or am i missing something?

No, l'intro compresa dovrebbe essere giá doppiata in inglese, strano...hai fatto attenzione a mantenere le tabulazioni del codice dello script? (facendo il copia e incolla del codice qui nei commenti di steam le tabulazioni non vengono mantenute).
Controlla e riesegui lo script, dovrebbe impiegare 4-5 secondi per modificare i file coinvolti, se invece noti che l'esecuzione termina in modo instantaneo, non é stata fatta alcuna modifica ed il gioco rimane tale e quale doppiato in italiano

In my case it was because i ran the batch file as admin. Now without admin it took 4-5 seconds and the game is now english with german sub. thanks everyone

ITA: Ho risolto! Ho ricopiato il codice con le giuste tabulazioni, corretto lo script e l'ho lanciato senza essere admin, adesso funziona tutto grazie mille!

ENG: I solved! I copied the code again with the right tabulations, corrected the script and launched it without admin privileges, now it's working!

Anyone is having some issue with this script on Mass Effect 3? I experienced some hard crash on Tuchanka when the Reaper shoots the red beam on you and now on Omega Dlc. I must make a convalidation cache on steam before play, otherwise I'm stuck in the loading screen. Anyone?

It seems when you run it in admin mode, the target directory is not set correctly, so the files were not changed. I changed it, so it should work either way if others stumble over the same issue. But it is not necessary to run the batch file in admin mode.

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

cd /d "%~dp0CookedPCConsole\"
for %%f in (*LOC_DEU.pcc) do (
  set /p val=<%%f
  set name=%%~nf
  set subName=!name:_DEU=!

  if exist !subName!_INT.pcc (
    ren !name!.pcc !name!.pcc.bak
    ren !subName!_INT.pcc !name!.pcc
    ren !name!.pcc.bak !subName!_INT.pcc
  )
)

for /d %%i in ("%~dp0DLC\*") do (
cd /d "%%i\CookedPCConsole\"
	for %%f in (*LOC_DEU.pcc) do (
	  set /p val=<%%f
	  set name=%%~nf
	  set subName=!name:_DEU=!

	  if exist !subName!_INT.pcc (

Hello

Here is a link of a mod that might help you for Mass effect 1, it unlocks the vanilla packed localizations : French (Français), German (Deutsch), Italian (Italiano), Russian (Pусский), Polish (Polskie)
Thanks a lot to that person @Hantacore on EA forum

link to his discussion on EA forum where I found it
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-Legendary-Edition/Mass-Effect-1-legendary-separate-settings-for-voices-amp-text/td-p/10324291/page/11

link direct to nexus mod https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/138?tab=description

Character creation is still in your base language but after that the game is indeed in english for the audio and FR (for me) for the subtitles.
There is a little audio glitch in the intro (on the last sentence) after that it's perfect
Hope it helps and again thank you very much for this mod @Hantacore

@LumaEl, have you checked the mod ?
I tried with the french translation after checking files in Origin (to restore original files) and I have no voice at all.

Also, I wanted to report that the batch file works well until noveria. I did the mission to get liara just after eden prime and everything and no issue, voice in english and text in french. When arriving to noveria, no voice sound anymore ..

Any idea ?

[Artik.be]

Ok, solved my own problem .. deleted the ME1 folder than recheck game in origin, download ME1 again, so I have a fresh, clean, install. Than the tool worked and I have voices in Noveria.

So ... Always work on a fresh install, tip to myself ;-)

[LumaEl]

Hi, yes the mod works well for me ^^

Glad it turns out good for you too ! Have fun !

The Omega DLC also crashed for me after I entered "The Mines". The only way to fix it was rename the *.tlk files (e.g. BIOGame_ITA.tlk to BIOGame_INT.tlk) and set the Launcher language to english.

Script didn't work for me (I didn't have any voice) but nexus mod after a few attempts fixed problem. If you bought origin version with en/ru/pl dubbing then you have to download game in your first language (e.g. I have origin client in polish), I had first download in english version and even mod from nexu doesn't worked so it's important step. So after that do stuff from the description of the mod. Don't change language of the game in your origin client!! If you do then your game won't be changed even by the mod. If you need then change it in the launcher of the game, if you wanted for example english subtitles then change from english to any available language in the game and you'll have dubbing in that language and english subtitles (of course remember to pick correct language option in the the mod!!, for me it was polish language) and other stuff. So I have polish sub and english dubbing and it's working. I hope my instructions will be helpful, Cheers.

Same Problem on Tuchanka as you. Hard Crash. Any way to 100% fix this?

You must convalidate the cache then you must go a little bit forward with the mission. Then script again...
