Slorm Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I've just started a Beginners German course and one of the things I thought might be helpful (once I get some basic vocabulary and understanding) is to start playing Skyrim in German rather than English. I know a lot of mods have been translated but is the game itself and voiced dialogue available in German and is it straightforward to change the language?
Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 It is. But expect only vanilla dialogues to be fully voiced in German.
Slorm Posted February 11, 2019 Author Posted February 11, 2019 Many thanks Vielen danke CPU. How do I do it though, do I just need to change my locale in Windows?
Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 In you Skyrim.ini file (if you use MO it is inside your Profile folder) change: [General] sLanguage=GERMAN Not sure if the voices are correctly downloaded, I use it only in English. But give it a try.
donttouchmethere Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Would that work with the german version too? I would like to have an english skyrim ?
Andy14 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 In german version exist non Voices Extra bsa. If you want play in english - you need this bsa.
Slorm Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 I tried this but the game just ctd's [General] sLanguage=GERMAN I did some digging around and I gather that you have to change the language in Steam itself (I assume it will then download the German version or necessary files)

Just, to add to the confusion it is "Thanks" = "Danke" (*) oops, wrong thread for that Edit: Quote Once you start to feel comfortable with your basic German I encourage you to try some poetry. That's too much culture to cope with. Depending on your fetish, I suggest either tax laws or porn stories/books. Once you master one of those, the rest will be below your standards.
Slorm Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Oops, I did mean to correct that, I realised about the wrong extra "e" when I saw it spelt properly earlier today. I'm sure I'll make a lot worse blunders than that while I'm learning, particularly at this early stage. At least at the class there's a few people worse than me

Hört sich an als ob du möchtest das Slorm das ganze Liebhaberlabor übersetzt ^^
Slorm Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Wow that actually translates perfectly with Google, which isn't always that reliable. I was checking the difference between Wo and Woher (from where) but if you then switch to English and input "from where" you get "Wovon" which if you switch back to German comes back as "from which" Sorry, totally off topic now EDIT: Had too much to drink now, so I wonder if this works on a UK keyboard ß and it does

Double check the ini setting als CPU mentioned anyway. But it only controls the written texts, not the voice data. Speakng of quality ... the german voice actors are .... disappointing at best And for random english-german swichting there is this little helper https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/245/?tab=files With a bit of work, you can modify it to whatever language you fancy.
