This article will guide you through the steps on how to change the in-game voiceover language without actually changing the in-game text language.

Step 1

Modifying the in-game language parameters

1. To avoid re-downloading the voice-over, duplicate its files from this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam\steamapps\common\Apex Legends\audio\ship

3. From the “ship” folder, make copies of these two files: general_russian.mstr and general_russian_patch_1.mstr. You can save these duplicates in a convenient location.
4. Next, navigate to your Steam library, access the game properties, and select the Japanese voice language. When you change the language to Japanese, Steam will automatically fetch any missing files.

Step 2

Replacing Files and Startup Settings

1. Once the necessary files have been downloaded, navigate to the folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam\steamapps\common\Apex Legends\audio\ship

2. Copy two files from this location: general_japanese.mstr and general_japanese_patch_1.mstr, and save them to a convenient location.
3. Now, return to the “ship” folder and move back the two files you initially copied: general_russian.mstr and general_russian_patch_1.mstr. Then, change the language in the game settings to Russian.
4. After that, go to your downloads section in Steam. Check if the game is in the download queue. If it is, click “continue downloading.” If the game is marked as downloaded, you can proceed to the next step.
5. Now, move the two files you saved earlier, general_japanese.mstr and general_japanese_patch_1.mstr, back into the “ship” folder.
6. Next, click on the Apex Legends icon in your Steam library, go to properties, and access the startup options. In the line provided, type “+miles_language japanese” (without the quotation marks).
7. Enjoy the desired voice acting.

Note: After updates are released, you may encounter an error, which can be resolved by repeating these steps. Unfortunately, there are no other options available at this time.
