Changing Regions and Language in Garena
You can also try changing regions to have a different language in Garena League of Legends and TFT. Here is a step-by-step guide to doing it:
- Open Garena then click the cog wheel on the upper right side of the client
- In the general section, you will see the region and client language
- Change both of them to your desired language
- Open League of Legends, then enjoy a different server region and language. Remember that only Southeast Asian countries are only available for region changes!
Changing Language Using Game Files (Select Regions Only)
For regions other than Garena, there is a way of changing the game and client language by modifying game files. Follow these steps to have a different lol language:
- Locate your League of Legends game files. The default is at "C:/Riot Games/League of Legends"
- Scroll down until you see LeagueClient.exe
- Right click it and create a desktop shortcut
- Go back to your home screen and right click the shortcut that you created
- In the target field, type the language code (given above) into the language that you like
- For example "--locale=en_US"
- Open League of Legends through the shortcut that you created
This method is easier because you do not need a text editor compared to the Garena version. Also, you can try to switch servers if you do not really like the language that you are playing with. Remember, managing League of Legends files is risky, so proceed with caution.
That is all you need to know in order to change League/TFT language! There is no way to change the language directly in the client, so you have to rely on the methods above to have a different TFT and LoL language! Nevertheless, the methods above are easy, so make sure to try it and follow the right one depending on your region!
