How Diablo 4’s Language Options Differ from Diablo 3
If you’re familiar with Diablo 3’s supported languages, you’ll notice that Diablo 4’s language options are quite similar. However, there are a few differences to note. Blizzard has greatly increased the Asian language support for Diablo 4 by adding Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), and Korean to the list of supported languages. The one language that didn’t make it from Diablo 3 to Diablo 4 is Russian, due to Activision/Blizzard pulling out of the Russian market as a result of the war in Ukraine. Despite this, Blizzard is still committed to ensuring a high-quality localized experience for their players in the languages that are available.
Blizzard’s Global Language Coverage
Blizzard Entertainment has always been committed to providing comprehensive language options for their games, including Diablo 4. They aim to make sure that every player can enjoy their games in their native language by putting a great deal of effort into the localization and ensuring that every piece of text and dialogue in the game is accurately translated and localized. This commitment extends beyond their games to their websites, forums, and customer support, providing language support for players from all over the world. Blizzard chooses which languages to support based on a language’s number of speakers and the ease of supporting the game in the countries where the language is spoken. Currently, Blizzard’s typical supported languages reach roughly half the people in the world, including English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Polish.
In-Game Fictional Languages in Diablo 4
In-game fictional languages play a significant role in Diablo 4, adding depth and authenticity to the game’s world-building. The Triune, a cultist group found in the Kehjistan region, uses their language, and their symbols and writings are crucial for players to understand their lore and motives.
Another fictional language in Diablo 4 is the Tongue of Flames, used by the demons, which is characterized by a harsh, guttural sound, and it is essential for players who wish to communicate with them. On the other hand, Enochian, the language of the angels, is a melodious and beautiful language used by divine beings to communicate with one another and with the divine. Understanding these languages can enhance players’ immersion in the game’s world, enabling them to communicate more effectively with the game’s characters.
In addition to these fictional languages, Diablo 4 also features several ancient languages, such as the Druids’ and the Nephalem’s languages. These languages are steeped in history and lore and are essential for players who wish to learn more about the game’s world and its inhabitants. Diablo 4 is designed to provide a rich and diverse experience for players, and the inclusion of these fictional languages is just one way that the game achieves this.
How to Change the Language in Diablo 4
If you want to change the language in Diablo 4, it’s a simple process. After logging into the game, you can go to the options menu and select your preferred language.
Alternatively, you can choose your game’s language before you install it, or change it after it’s installed through the Battle.net desktop app. To do this, simply select the Diablo 4 game icon and click on options. Then choose “Game Settings” and under “Text & Spoken Language,” select your language of choice. Finally, click on “Done” to save your settings.
