Change subtitles language

[gomercio]

I want to play the game with voices in english, but i am spanish so i don't fully undestand everything.
Is there any way to change only the language of the subtitles?

[BunnySpirit]

same question here actually... I guess we could set it in english and replace the subtitles in the game's folder but i hope there is a better way...

[NanitoTv]

[Mr Bean]

I'm affraid subtitles are in the vo.pck file in your language folder... maybe some modders will create a prog to extract the subtitles :/ sry for my english i'm French :D

[Daxank]

I am also interested in this topic .. I am Portuguese, and I would like to see subtitles in Portuguese, but I want to keep the audio in English .. Is it possible?

Hello, been searching for how to play with subtitles in another language than the voice over but replacing the files in "ShadowOfMordor\game\sound\[yourlangregion]" by those in "ShadowOfMordor\game\sound\EnglishUS" (and changing the game in your language) doesn't work...

This is a really disgusting trait of AAA games (and games in general) to have such disrespect for the client and player...

Is there really no way, even the most convoluted, to play in your language?

I've found a way to get the UI and the subtitles in your language, and the voices in english. I've used Total Commander and the plugin Game Archive UnPacker, to extract localization files from the game's archives global.arch05 and hotchunk_Patch.arch05, rename the suffix (for me: en => fr, fr => en) and reimport them into the archives. The language is set to english in Steam.

Seems to be working fine, even the lip sync. I'll check it a bit more and i'll make a detailed tutorial. :)

Wow, that's quite a convoluted solution they have chosen. Any other way of opening those files? Do you think it'd be possible to make a batch or something with another program?

Either way, thanks for the info. That's quite a shame for them to make people's lives so complicated *sigh*

Not so convoluted, you know. I've seen worse. And sometimes it's not even doable, like for Mass Effect 1. So i'm glad i managed to find the tip for this one. I usually cannot stand the voice acting in my native language, so I HAVE TO find a solution, even if it takes me several hours :)

No batch, sorry, but it's not so difficult. I've made a quick tutorial here.

Thanks. But unfortunately, I couldn't make it work. Tried three times... last one was for sure doing everything in your guide... :/

Based on this info I've searched a bit and didn't find a free alternative for FreeCommander, also I've found http://en.www.elberethzone.net/dragon-unpacker.html#download but it apparently doesn't allow for archiving files back in... :/

Do you have error messages? Can you extract the files? When does the operation fail ?
Total Commander and the plugin are the only way i could do this. I tried also with QuickBMS, there's a script that is supposed to work but I got errors for the extraction, and couldn't repack.

Total Commander is a shareware but it is fully functionnal without registration, and the plugin is a freeware.

I could extract and the repack was going well (at least the last time) but when I launch the game, everything is still in english (renamed the files, before you ask :P).

I'm on Windows 10 64bits though. But I've installed TC 32bits (as the plugin is 32bits).

Mmmm... Strange...

I have the same configuration as you.
I've checked several times the operations to be sure, and it's OK for me, so I really don't know...

But I've updated the tutorial and added some screenshots. You may have a look to check once more.
