Some gamers are faced with the fact that they do not know how to change the language in "GTA 5". And this is not surprising, because in the game settings there is generally no option to do this. Fortunately, there is a way out of this situation.
From the article you will learn how to change the language in "GTA 5". In this case, various methods will be considered, two of which are suitable for the pirated version of the game, and one will only work in the licensed edition.
Through the registry
Since changing the language in "GTA 5" by standard methods does not work, you will have to manually edit one of the entries in the registry of the operating system. It is done like this:
- Enter “regedit” by first pressing Win + R.
- Go to the "HKLM" directory.
- Then open “SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node”.
- Check out Rockstar \ Grand Theft Auto V.
- Find the “Language” option. Open it and write the command “ru-RU” in the line “Value”.
- Now confirm the changes, close all programs and restart the PC. If everything is done correctly, the language in the game will change to Russian.
Please note that this method only works in pirated versions of the game, and even then not in all. If he did not help you, then you can use the alternative method, which will be discussed below.
Via ini file
Another option on how to change the language in "GTA 5" is to edit the ini-file that is responsible for the settings of the game. To do this:
- Go to the game folder, find the 3dgame.ini file in it and run it in Notepad.
- Find the parameter "Language = zh-CHT" (it should be the first) and rename it to "Language = ru-RU".
- Close the file, after saving all the changes.
- Next, you should restart your computer. After that, launch the game and check if the language has changed in it.
Please note that this method, like the previous one, will work only in the pirated version. By the way, there are times when you need to use both options at the same time. Only in this way the settings will take effect, and you can change the language in the game.
For Steam version
Oddly enough, but even the owners of the licensed version of the game, purchased on Steam, are faced with the fact that they do not know how to change the language in "GTA 5". True, they have such a problem less often, since applications launched through a digital store themselves adjust to the region in which the user lives. But still, if you need to change the language, do the following for this:
- Launch Steam and go to the "Library" section.
- Go into the properties of GTA 5, and then go to the "Language" section.
- Select Russian (or another language you need) in the list and confirm the changes.
Perhaps after this the download of additional files will begin, the end of which you will need to wait. Also keep in mind that there is no Russian voice acting for GTA 5, so you can only count on subtitles.
