If you’re one of them, continue reading below as we’ll mention a couple of methods that can help you change the game’s language.

Riot Games Client

After you get done completing the steps mentioned above, the language in League of Legends will change to the one you selected. If it doesn’t, try restarting the Riot Games client.

Directory Files

There can be times when the language of your game might not change through the client because of some bug. If this happens to you, you can change the language through the game files. For this, you will need to follow these steps:

2. In the folder, right-click on the League of Legends.exe application and send it to Desktop as a shortcut
3. Go to the desktop, right-click on the League of Legends shortcut, and click on “Properties”
4. In the shortcut tab, you’ll see a field called “Target:”
