The one thing that ensures a game is instantly more relatable and comfortable for players is having its characters speak the same language you usually speak. Playing Valorant [1] in your preferred language makes everything easier, from callouts to agent lines. Luckily, Riot gives you full control over both voice and text settings.
This guide walks you through how to change the game language from inside a match or through the Riot Client. You’ll also learn what to do if your preferred language isn’t available, how regional packs work, and what to expect when downloading language files.
Here’s every way you can utilize to change your language in Valorant.
Changing the language in-game
If you are already in a game and want to change the language settings, Valorant makes this quite easy, so you do not have to leave your game mid-match.
To change to your preferred language, press ‘Esc’ on your keyboard and click on the Settings option at the top of your screen. Then, in the General sub-tab, find Text Language around the top and choose the language you’d like from the drop-down menu.
It’s essential to remember that for some changes to take effect, you have to quit the game and the Riot Client completely. Returning to the main menu will not be enough, so you must perform a full restart.
Changing the language on the Riot client
If you’d rather change the language setting before launching the game, you can do this directly from the Riot Client.
To do this, click the Settings icon (gear symbol) in the bottom-right corner of the Riot Client. Make sure you are logged in to your account to find this. After, locate the Game Language setting and choose your preferred language from the drop-down menu.
Don’t forget to restart the client for the changes to take effect. Before restarting the client, ensure Valorant is fully closed if it’s running.

Important things to note when changing Valorant language
It’s good to know that Valorant keeps voice and text languages separate. While this guide will show you how to change the text, remember that voice packs for agents and announcers are a separate download and aren’t available in every language.
Sometimes, certain languages are tied to specific regions or require a different game client version. So, if the language you want isn’t showing up, the easiest solution might be to download a client meant for a different region. This issue could be because the language pack you’re looking for could be bundled with a regional client, and switching to that one should get you what you need.
When you switch languages, the game needs to download some extra files, and these language packs can be several GB in size. Before changing the language of your game, it’s a good idea to ensure you have enough storage space and a dependable internet.
