Please only change stuff in the registery if you feel qualify to do so. Choose the new language Change the language in the Windows Registry To change the language you have three options Re-install your game If you manually change the language in the registery, you need to change it for all expansions you have installed. The language of the installation routine does not matter for the language of the game.
