Hello
How can I change the language in Fallout 4 to German? When I switch between English and German during the download, I get the message that there are no German language files.
The change in Fallout4_Default.ini "sLanguage=de" has no effect.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the game only available in English?
On games page -> two sliders icon -> manage instalation -> configure... there is a language drop down list. Have you tried that?
If you are referring to Galaxy Client -> I don't use it. I've downloaded the setup files and run the installation with german, but I can't change the audio or text.

Or is it only possible to change audio/text with GOG Galaxy client?
Yes, I've checked it through Galaxy. After changing language ~3GB is downloaded and everythinh is in German - menus, subtitles, audio.
It could be offline instalers problem. Either change it in Galaxy or contact support regarding offline files.

good idea. At home, I'll reinstall Fallout 4 and look at the advanced options. Thanks for the hint.
Sad, with the offline installer isn't it possible to install it with another language :(

You should contact support. Offline installers, if you have chosen installers for German language, should install F4 in German.
The support cant help, because I use an unsupported OS (Linux, Manjaro and Lutris). Today I will test it with the environment variable "LC_ALL=de_DE" and write my results here

It will not work. When changing language in Galaxy (I think there is a third party version for linux), it downloads .ba2 files with German voiceover and subtitles. So you have to change the language outside F4 or download offline installers for German language (and there's where the support can help if the offline installers for DE are wrong)

I was in contact with support, but they only say I should use GOG Galaxy Client.

Interessting. On the website to download the installer for german language I see follow message:
"Unfortunately, there are no files available for the selected language (Deutsch) and operating system (windows) combination."
But if I ignore it and start the dowload now I see the German installer. I tried "lgogdownloader", this tool shows me all languages to download.

Thanks for all your help!

I selected German in the download area for the offline installer and downloaded everything.

When installing, German was preset and I started F4 in the installation directory via Fallout4Launcher.exe. Everything is German.

In the launcher menu window you can change settings (resolution, ...) and then start F4 fully.

Translated with Google.

Ich habe bei dem Download-Bereich für den Offline-Installer Deutsch ausgewählt und alles herunter geladen.

Bei der Installation war Deutsch voreingestellt und habe F4 im Installationsverzeichnis über Fallout4Launcher.exe gestartet. Alles ist deutsch.

Im Menüfenster vom Launcher kann man noch Einstellungen (Auflösung, ...) ändern und F4 dann voll starten.

Juast came across nexusmods: [url=]https://www.schote.biz/archiv-sprachdateien-deutschpatches/fallout-4[/url]

This is for current on GOG (downgraded as it called) version of F4.
