Problem with activating Spore (four options with languages that are not English)

Problem with activating Spore (four options with languages that are not English) - Tired ethnic working mother at home with playing kids

I bought Spore (yeah, old game don't judge me) from a 3rd party store.

When I entered the key code to Origin it gave me four options, three are an Asian language, and one is probably Hebrew.

There is not an option for English!

The problem is not with the game, but with the languages, maybe knowing if I can change the game language later can help. At the store, it said that it was in English.



Best Answer

You'll need to modify how the game is started. There was some information in the old Spore forums about this.

PC Example :"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\SPORE\Sporebin\SporeApp.exe" –L:en-us

The Languages support are as follows.

  • cz-cz: Czech
  • da-dk: Danish
  • de-de: German
  • el-gr: Greek
  • en-gb: British
  • en-us: American English
  • es-es: Spanish
  • fi-fi: Finnish
  • fr-fr: French
  • hu-hu: Hungarian
  • it-it: Italian
  • nl-nl: Dutch
  • no-no: Norwegian
  • pl-pl: Polish
  • pt-br: Brazilian
  • pt-pt: Portuguese
  • ru-ru: Russian
  • sv-se: Swedish

Additionally an EA community manager said that the game should determine your language based on your Origin settings.
