Audio from one language and text from other

Community Discussion

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to have audio from e.g Germany and the text from English. Just like in Overwatch when you can choose separately voice language and text language. I’d love to play HS in different languages but I don’t understand the text on cards and quests.

The problem is that I want to have voice from one language and text from another, in Battlenet I can change language, but it will change both - voice and text

That would be sweet. I just love uther and the silver hand recruits showting things in German. But I need to read the text sometimes. And I’m not bilingual.

Unfortunately you can’t. The base language controls all. I have switched to Spanish in the past to learn some names of cards that my friends’ list was talking about (I get a lot of Latin American/Portuguese players for some reason). Lol, I would love to hear the German versions…

Well, I guess it would sound cool if you don’t know any german, but for me, it’s my native language and I absolutely HATE playing any Blizzard games in german. The voice acting is so terrible that it makes me cringe and the translating team seems to have no general knowledge at all, because they miss about half of the references to other games/movies/etc. which make up a great deal of the fun of Blizz games imo… In HS, it’s the card flavor texts, in WoW, D3 and SC it’s achievement, item and quest names.

Sure there are some that cannot be translated because of cultural differences, but most could (or should just be left in english because they are actually used as english phrases here as well, but no, they are a translating team, so they need to translate EVERYTHING, even if it doesn’t make any sense to do so facepalm)

I play in english, period :wink:

My mother tongue is German too. I guess it’s just a matter of getting used to the sound clues. The times I switched to Spanish it just sounded wrong to my ears and I had to pay a lot more attention to the card art. It’s when I learned that we become lazy with cards and what they do.
