Steam Community guide by ptkr.

Changing Text and Voice Language

First go to your library, right click on Overwatch and select "Properties..."

After that select from drop down menu language you want to hear in-game.
To set text language add this line to launch options: --tank_Locale language-you-want

In this example I want to set voice language to English and text language to Polish (so PlPL is the code I used).

Language Codes

These are language codes you want to put in:

  • American English: EnUS
  • British English: EnGB
  • Polish: PlPL
  • French: FrFR
  • Italian: ItIT
  • German: DeDE
  • Spanish: EsES
  • Japanese: JaJP
  • Korean: KoKR
  • Portuguese - Brazil: ptBR
  • Russian: RuRU
  • Spanish - Latin America: esMX
  • Simplified Chinese: ZhCN
  • Traditional Chinese: ZhTW
    Note that Overwatch doesn't support all languages.
