How to Change Language in AION 2 (Text and Voice Settings)

AION 2 keeps text language and voice audio as two separate settings, and both can be changed without a patch. English ships inside the client, so you can move the interface into a language you read whether you are on a regional Korean or Taiwanese build or the global release.

Quick answer: Open Settings, go to the Miscellaneous tab, open the Language subtab, set the Language field for text and the Voice field for audio, then confirm.

Change language from the in-game settings menu

Use this method when you are already logged in and the interface is showing a language you cannot read. The layout stays the same regardless of which language is currently active, so you can follow the button positions even if the labels are in Korean or Chinese.

Open the main menu, then click the Settings cogwheel icon. On the title screen it sits in the top-right corner; inside the game you reach the main menu with Esc or F10 and the cogwheel appears at the bottom right.

Select the Miscellaneous tab. It is the far-right entry in the top tab bar, listed after Combat, Key Settings, Info Display, Graphics, Accessibility, Audio, and Notification.

Open the Language subtab directly below the tab bar. It shows two rows, one labeled Language for text and one labeled Voice for spoken audio.

Open Language Selection — The Language subtab has a text row and a voice row, each with a button showing the current selection. Shown at 00:15 in Kasum Adventurer’s video. Image: NC

Click the Language button to open the text list, then pick your preferred language. This controls the interface, menus, quest text, and subtitles.

Click the Voice button to set the spoken audio track separately, then choose an option. Voice is limited to fewer languages than text, so this may not match your text choice.

Press the yellow confirm button at the bottom to apply the changes. The menu redraws in the new text language.

Some interface elements only refresh on a fresh launch, so fully close and reopen the client if a few labels still show the old language.

Change language from the PURPLE launcher before you play

Setting the language before launch avoids reading through in-game menus in another script. This works from the PURPLE launcher and also through the Steam client, whichever you use to start the game.

Open the PURPLE launcher, go to the Store on the left sidebar, and select AION2 to open its page.

On the AION2 lobby page, click the File Scan and Game Settings link. It sits in the bottom-right corner, near or just below the update progress and the Start Game button.

In the settings pop-up, open the Text dropdown and choose your language. Separate Text and Voice buttons appear here, matching the split you see inside the game.

After saving your choices, start the game as usual. To launch via Steam, open the game’s properties or click the settings cogwheel, select General, then choose the language before starting the game.

Text language versus voice audio

The two fields are not linked. Text covers the interface, quest dialogue, and cinematic subtitles, and it supports a wider set of languages. Voice audio is far more limited and is often tied to the regional server you connect to, which is why you may hear Korean or Japanese speech under English text. That combination is expected behavior, not a bug.

Inside the game, the voice list shows English, Korean (한국어), and Japanese (日本語). Full voice acting is confirmed for English, Japanese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese, while every other supported language still gets complete menu and subtitle translation.

Supported languages in AION 2

The global client ships with ten languages built in. The table below shows which have full audio versus text-only interface and subtitles.

Language	Interface	Full audio	Subtitles
English	Yes	Yes	Yes
Korean	Yes	Yes	Yes
Japanese	Yes	Yes	Yes
Traditional Chinese	Yes	Yes	Yes
Simplified Chinese	Yes	No	Yes
French	Yes	No	Yes
German	Yes	No	Yes
Spanish (Spain)	Yes	No	Yes
Portuguese (Brazil)	Yes	No	Yes
Russian	Yes	No	Yes

Confirm the change worked

After you confirm, the settings window itself redraws in the language you picked, with tabs relabeled to Graphics, Audio, and Miscellaneous when you choose English. Back out to the title screen and the prompt should read Please click on the screen, with buttons such as Security Settings and Credits now in your chosen language.

If the interface flips but you still hear another language during dialogue, that is the voice setting doing its job separately from text. Change the Voice field to one of the four fully voiced options if you want the audio to match, and remember that on regional servers the spoken track may stay locked to that region.
