Changing my TF2's language to English.

[Jagel]

Okay, so i'm French, and I need to change my game language to English. Because French has became annoying as ♥♥♥♥. I've checked the internet, and so far, no real solution has been found.

Here are the fixes I found that DOES NOT WORK.

- "Right click in library, properties, and set the game to English."
NO. That does NOT work. Thanks. I alerady did it, it doesn't work at all. So please don't bother saying this.

-"Change your Steam's language to English"
Again, no. I want the game's language is english, not Steam language.

So, with theses put away, the fix might only be from modifying the game's files. And that's what I wanna do so far.

If you found anyway to do it, please provide. Thanks for reading me.

EDIT: This thread was posted back in November, 2015. Three years ago. My problem is solved since years now, since now the game settings and properties actually work if you want to change the game's language. I am also baffled by how much I was being a ♥♥♥♥ back then. I definitely don't wanna look back on 2015's me.

tf2 Launch Options

found this
Go to your resource folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\resource" and open the file tf_(your language).txt and tf_english.txt and copy everything from tf_english and paste it in tf_(your language). Then u see "Language" "English", change it to your language, so if u paste it in tf_polish.txt then u have to change "Language" "English" to "Language" "polish". Just (re)start tf2 and you have it in egnlish! (Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Belgium)

in game setting under audio and language

You can enter settings, audio, and change from your language to english and it says you need to restat the game and there you go, back to english. I know, it's stupid to put "language" in audio section

Nice Necro !

Anyway, the game settings now actually work to change the game's language, unlike it did before, so the problem is solved.

Options --> Audio --> Spoken language
Set the last one to English
Don't know the words in French ofc. but that should do the trick.
By the way, just set your steam to English. Improves your knowledge and fluency :)
