How to change LOL language in macOS

If you are a lover of battle games where strategy is the central axis then LOL (League of Legends) is for you since it is a game where we must completely destroy the base of the rival team and thus climb to be the best..

 

 

League of Legends has various features ranging from the various levels or game modes to all the available configuration parameters. Just one of these is the language , which is a key piece to understand the type of strategy to play, what rewards we have achieved and in general to move in the game.

 

We may want to edit the language of League of Legends to reinforce a language that we are learning, for example, in our case LOL will be downloaded and installed in Spanish:

Step 6

There we change the default language for one of the following options:
  • ja_JP: Japanese
  • es_ES: Spanish (Spain)
  • es_MX: Spanish (Latin)
  • en_US: English
  • fr_FR: French
  • de_DE: German
  • it_IT: Italian
  • pl_PL: Polish
  • ro_RO: Romanian
  • el_GR: Greco
  • pt_BR: Portuguese
  • hu_HU: Hungary
  • ru_RU: Russian
  • tr_TR: Turkish

 

In this case we enter "en_US":

Step 7

We change it in all available lines but especially in the option "available_locales", we edit it in "default_locale" in the same way. We save the changes and close the file.

Step 8

Now we go to the "Config" folder and there we will edit the "LeagueClientSettings.yaml" file with TextEdit:

Step 9

Like the previous point, we change the default language with the desired language. We save the changes and exit the file.

This works perfectly but whenever I exit league and open it again, the language is swapped back to the default language. Do I have to do these steps every time I open league?
You shouldn't need except if you either change server or there is a patch installed.
I just wanted to say thank you, as it is the second time I use this technique and it always worked as the steps are simple, clear and very concise thanks to the pictures added. You should us this technique as it is just perfect and takes less then a minute once you've done it already !
Do not change it, just add it to your region, and set it in the config.
