Different subtitle and voiceover language

[Kell]

Hello! Previously you could choose the language in Steam options of the game and change subtitle and interface laguage in the game via Sound Options. As for now I can't find such an option in the game. Is there any option to make voice of one language and subs of another one?

im facing the same problem here.... my friends on battlenet can choose between audio and subtitles, but on steam we can only choose both for the same language

Hi everyone,
I think I found a fix, however i just want say i'm not sure that it works since i tried it on the battle.net version, but i'm pretty sure it should work on steam too.
So here are the steps if you want to try:
1. Find your game in your Stream Library
2. Right Click -> Properties...
3. Choose in the language selection the language you want for the audio
4. Add the launch option:
-local <language_code>
And replace <language_code> with the language code from the one you want for the text.
Here are few exemples:
enUS : English United States
frFR : French France
esES : Spanish Spain


So for exemple if I want to play with the voices in english and the text in spanish i need to select english in the language selection and add the following launch option:
-locale esES

Hi everybody, i'm back and this time i actually found a walkaround that works. Basically, this solution revolves around the fact that the game is available in Turkish for the text but doesn't have any dubs in Turkish, therefore, when playing in Turkish, the game will play the text in Turkish and the voices in english. So the game already has a system that allows it to play different languages for the texts and the voices. Through some basic reverse engineering i found a methode that tricks the game into playing any languages you want instead of turkish for the text and english for the voices.

To make it easier, I made a quick video tutorial on youtube

It stopped working for me few days ago, for anyone else? Making the file "read only" is not helping neither.
