Hello guys

I really hope you can help me.. I have a weird problem. yesterday I was playing a little Dota 2 and after I was done wanted to go back to SC2, started the game and found out the language of my game has changed from English to Polish. o_o

Decided to reinstall the game but it didn't work, language is still Polish.

What can I do to change it back to English?

Ensure your game is closed, then go to your documents folder/Starcraft2/Accounts/*your account ID (a bunch of numbers)*/variables.txt.
Open that file and change these the lines localeidassets and localeiddata to:
localeidassets=enGB
localeiddata=enGB

He's trying to insult poland, which is suspicious considering he's from austria..

on topic: strange that the language just changed, I thought you needed to download a separate language pack to change it

This is true. Soon every single sentence will be in a different language. Languages will range from English, to Korean, to various unknown African tribes, and some will even be in Khalani.

I'd say European is the likely choice

For Diablo III (not sure if it works the same in SC2), I remember reading something about deleting (or just moving temporarily and then delete if it does work):

Delete both "Battle.net" and "Blizzard Entertainment" folders, under "C:\ProgramData".

Here's where I got it from

Of course this might be for only D3. But if the instructions regarding changing variable.txt doesn't work, try this.

God this thread is fucking horrible. OP, it isn't your fault, and I hope you get the problem fixed but this should be taken as an example why you don't post this stuff in SC2 General. Tech support is probably the best place for this.
