CoqDuRoi Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I want to play in english with german text. Renaming the voice files does the trick ingame, however the intro movie is still in german. Does anybody know how i can change the text files instead of the audo files ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharlikran Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 You have to make sure you have a Steam copy of Fallout 4 and change the language to English. Once you do that the game will be in ALL English. You could use the archive2.exe that comes with the Fallout 4 CK to extract the language files you want and copy them to Data\Strings folder as loose files. However, the game's internal code will look only for files with "English" in them. So you will have to rename the German files to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoqDuRoi Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 So you will have to rename the German files to English.Meaning i have to change the endings for "de" to "en" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoqDuRoi Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thank you so far. By language files, do you mean the voice files ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharlikran Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) In your original post you said you want to play the game in English with German text. Which means, and I'm not being disrespectful only emphasizing to answer your question... DO NOT unpack ANY files (sound or whatever) and rename them except the STRINGS files! Set your game to English in Steam and let it update all the files from German to English. They are all the BA2 files. If you already tried to do what you want by unpacking everything you could find and renaming it, then delete all that. You only need to set the language in steam to English.Then unpack the German strings files for Fallout 4 and all the DLC. Then change the _de to _en because to the game you are in "English" so it will only look for the _en files.What I have suggested should make all voice, movies, and everything possible be in English. The only thing that will be in German is the text. However, if Bethesda did anything that makes what you are trying to do not work the way I feel it should, then it's not possible. The strings files are in the Fallout4 - Interface.ba2 or from [Name Of DLC] - Main.ba2 and you extract them with a 3rd party tool or archive2.exe that comes with the CK.

CoqDuRoi Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Do you think overwriting the vanilla files instead could help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
