Can't activate English language!!! :(
Hey guys.
Okay, just downloaded the game. I specified it as "English" in the drop down menu, of course. The installer itself IS English, too. But as soon as I start the launcher, everything is in German!! :mad: All the labels in the menus are in German and so are the lines of dialogue one can choose! (Of course the spoken language is still English though.)
How on EARTH do I get to play the game in FULL English??
Because I really don't want to click German lines of dialogue when English is the spoken language (which I absolutely prefer, in the first place)!!!
:mad:

Also, why do I need to download 366MB for an installer, and that installer downloads ANOTHER 366MB?
I already searched in the options and in my Windows registry but there was nothing to be found!
HEY GUYS, ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO COULD HELP???
systemsteuerung --> regionen und sprachen
sprache für unicode inkompatible programme <-- das auf english stellen
Seriously though, no language option is just bad form nowadays.
This needs to be patched in ASAP. Real shame that it isn't in already.
Sorry about that, I didn't see the other thread and thought the two problems were connected somehow like, first downloading the English version but then it automatically downloads the German version when a German OS is detected...
Well anyway, yeah, it sucks that I have English voices but German text. Very distracting.
1.) Systemsteuerung
2.) Region und Sprache
3.) Verwaltung
4.) Gebietsschema ändern
5.) Englisch (USA)
Dann unter Umständen den PC neustarten und schon ist alles in englisch.
Trotzdem ist das ein absolutes Unding, wenn ihr mich fragt...
I'm french and i cannot activate english too !
If it solves the problem, can someone translate it ? thx
I do not find that fix very good, nevertheless I like it because I've had similar troubles in the past with other apps too; maybe they're also fixed now.
1.) Control Panel
2.) Regional and Language Settings
3.) Administrative
4.) Change scheme
5.) English (USA)
Maybe you'll also have to restart the computer after that. Then the game will be in complete English.
But anyway: this is quite a problem which they should definitely fix in the near future!!
Maybe when they add the Spanish-Italian subtitle package... :rolleyes:
Yeh like selecting "german" in the downloads options?
But it doesn't work here either. Please fix this horrible travesty.
Same applies for french; and you don't need to change anything on your machine.
But seriously, this should be a setting of the game.. So please telltalegames, add some setting for that..
Support++
Is there an other workaround to skip auto language detection?
Edit:
Found this in an other thread:
Set this Key in the Registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telltale Games\BackToTheFuture101.exe]
"Language"="english"
That didn't work for me.
Here's a solution that doesn't require a restart. You just need to add a registry key. I only tested it on Windows 7 64-Bit and Windows XP 32-Bit yet. It should work with any version though, if you correct the Registry path.
The Win7 64-Bit registry settings will probably work with Win7 32-Bit as well. If someone tests that, please let me know, so i can edit it here.
Windows 7 64 bit:
Windows XP 32 bit:
For convenience i attached a zip containing .reg files for both Windows Versions for adding and removing the Language key. Look at the end of the File name to find the right one for your Windows Version. Just double click the appropriate .reg file and confirm the changes.
Add the Language Key:
BTTF-add_English_Language-Win7_64Bit.reg
BTTF-add_English_Language-WinXP_32Bit.reg
Remove the Language Key:
BTTF-remove_English_Language-Win7_64Bit.reg
BTTF-remove_English_Language-WinXP_32Bit.reg
Great, that did it for me. Couldn't get the game to run with english text with the other workarounds, but the Win 7 64 reg key worked like a charm. Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately I already finished the game yesterday, because I couldn't wait for a solution, but now I can play it again like TTG intended it to be played.
Sorry, I only checked the language of the launcher, and thought the game would behave the same..
The registry solution works fine for me.
I am in Germany and own a computer with a German keyboard. However, all the software I use is in English, and that includes the Windows operating system! Now if I have German keyboard but an English OS, what does that tell you about the language I'm most likely to use?? Exactly.
However, I have to admit, German has never been forced upon me as aggressively as with this game. Usually, there's some sort of option inside the software that let's you choose the language afterwards, but actually having to screw around with the registry is a first for me.
That registry setting was used in the other TTG games too. It doesn't come out of nowhere and doesn't do any harm.
I wouldn't assume any evil intentions here. Let's just hope that the installer get's fixed, so it does set that registry value.
On my Windows PC it works when adding the registry keys... so is there a solution for mac os?
This combination of English audio and (sometimes clumsily translated) German text is heavily irritating. Please add an option to choose ENGLISH ONLY.
No "Language" key in the registry btw., but a "Language ID"...
Set it to US and UK IDs, no effect.
Seriously...
I played most of Telltales' games and now this?
I hate translations with a passion. I want to play the game like the developers imagined it. I don't like to squirm over translation mistakes and miss a plot point!
Please fix this...
PS: Also, there is a registry key "Password"?
That's creepy...
