League of Legends is one of the most popular team-based RPG games globally, and since it has a global audience, Riot Games cater to their summoners by providing a variety of officially supported languages in-game.

Depending on the server (EU-West, North America, among others) you’ll find several language options that you can opt for instead of the regular English.

You’ll find a lot of articles online that can help you change League of Legends language by modifying the game files, which can further cause errors while running the game, so much so that your client will keep crashing. But if LOL doesn’t officially support your native language, then you might have no other option.

However, you don’t need to go through these game file system changes if the language you’re looking for is officially supported by the game. Here we discuss how you can change League of Legends language without modifying any game files via the option available in the game’s client.

    Yeah, I do that and it changes the language, but once I log in it goes back to the previous language.
