How to Change in-game voice Language

Altering the in-game language will change both the text and voice language in Valorant. You cannot pick a different language for text and voice.

However, there is a workaround that you can try to fix this. However, be warned that this method involves changing and modifying game files that could cause your account to get banned.

Step 1: Set your preferred TEXT language.

Launch Valorant.

2. Change the in-game language to your preferred TEXT language (English).

Refer to the guide above to change the in-game language.

3. Close Valorant to save the changes.

Step 2: Copy your preferred TEXT language paks

Navigate to C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\ShooterGame\Content\Paks.

You can do this by right-clicking the Valorant shortcut and clicking on ‘Open file location,’ and then going back to one folder to the Riot Games folder.

2. Copy the following files and save them to your desktop.

en_US_Text-WindowsClient.sig
en_US_Text-WindowsClient.pak

3. Rename the .sig file you saved on your desktop using the new “Text-WindowsClient.sig” filename.

4. Rename the .pak file you saved on your desktop using the new “Text-WindowsClient.pak” filename.

5. Create a new folder to place both files in. You can name it “Valorant ENG“ for simplicity.

6. Paste both files in the folder.

Step 5: Create a bat file

You need to make a bat file that automatically swaps in the modified text language files when you launch Valorant. This step is necessary because the Valorant client automatically swaps the text language to the in-game language when you launch the game.

Create a new text file on your desktop.
Copy and paste the following text:

@echo off

start “” “your VALORANT launcher property target.”

timeout 6

copy /y “your preferred text language files location*.*” “your VALORANT game directory.”

Paste the Valorant ENG folder directory into “your preferred text language files location.”
- You can find your folder directory by right-clicking on the folder and selecting “Copy as path.”
Paste your Valorant Paks directory into “Your VALORANT game directory.”
- The default directory is C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\ShooterGame\Content\Paks.

4. Launch Windows Explorer, then click ‘View’ in the upper part of the window. Turn on the option to show file name extensions.

5. Change the text file’s extension to “.bat”

6. Click on “Yes” when prompted.

7. Launch the bat file you created to launch Valorant in your preferred text and voice language combo.

Mixed Languages

Changing the in-game and client language for Valorant and Riot Client is pretty easy. Follow the guide above to change them to your preferred language.

On the other hand, changing the in-game voice language while keeping the same text language is trickier. Nevertheless, you can try the steps we have laid down for you in this guide to achieve that.
