Method 1: Changing the Language Through the Riot Client

The Riot Client is your gateway to all Riot Games, including League of Legends. Changing the language through the client is a simple and direct method. Here’s how you do it:

1. Open the Riot Client: First, make sure your Riot Client is open. If it’s not already running, launch it from your desktop or applications menu.
2. Go to Settings: Once the client is open, look for the settings icon. It’s usually located in the top-right corner of the client window. Click on it to open the settings menu.
3. Find the Language Option: In the settings menu, you should see various tabs and options. Look for a tab labeled “General” or something similar. Within this tab, you should find a dropdown menu that allows you to select your preferred language.
4. Select Portuguese: Click on the language dropdown menu and scroll through the options until you find “Português” (or “Portuguese”). Select it.
5. Restart the Client: After selecting Portuguese, the client will likely prompt you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Make sure to save any changes you’ve made and then restart the client.
6. Launch League of Legends: Once the client restarts, launch League of Legends. The game should now be in Portuguese. You might need to download additional language files, so be patient during the loading process.

This method is the most straightforward and recommended way to change your LoL language. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require messing with game files. However, if you encounter any issues, there are alternative methods you can try.

Method 2: Modifying the League of Legends Configuration File

If the Riot Client method doesn’t work for some reason, you can manually change the language by modifying the League of Legends configuration file. This method involves a bit more technical know-how, so follow the steps carefully.

1. Locate the League of Legends Installation Folder: First, you need to find where League of Legends is installed on your computer. The default location is usually C:\Riot Games\League of Legends, but it might be different if you chose a custom installation path.
2. Navigate to the Config Folder: Once you’ve found the installation folder, navigate to the Config folder. The path should look something like this: C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config.
3. Open the LeagueClientSettings.yaml File: Inside the Config folder, you’ll find a file named LeagueClientSettings.yaml. Open this file with a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Make sure to open it as an administrator to have the necessary permissions to save changes.
4. Find the Locale Setting: In the LeagueClientSettings.yaml file, look for a line that starts with locale:. This line specifies the current language setting for the game.
5. Change the Locale to Portuguese: Modify the locale: line to locale: pt_BR for Brazilian Portuguese or locale: pt_PT for European Portuguese. Make sure to use the correct locale code for the specific version of Portuguese you want.
6. Save the File: After changing the locale setting, save the LeagueClientSettings.yaml file. Make sure you save it with the same name and extension.
7. Launch League of Legends: Now, launch League of Legends. The game should now be in Portuguese. Again, you might need to download additional language files, so be patient during the loading process.

Important Considerations:

• Backup: Before modifying any configuration files, it’s always a good idea to create a backup. This way, if something goes wrong, you can easily restore the original file.
• Administrator Privileges: Make sure you have administrator privileges when modifying the LeagueClientSettings.yaml file. Otherwise, you might not be able to save the changes.
• Correct Locale Code: Use the correct locale code for the specific version of Portuguese you want. pt_BR for Brazilian Portuguese and pt_PT for European Portuguese.

Method 3: Using Command Line Arguments

Another method to change the language in League of Legends is by using command line arguments. This method involves adding a specific command to the game’s shortcut, which tells the game to launch in the specified language.

1. Find the League of Legends Shortcut: Locate the League of Legends shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu. This is the icon you click to launch the game.
2. Right-Click and Select Properties: Right-click on the League of Legends shortcut and select “Properties” from the context menu. This will open the properties window for the shortcut.
3. Modify the Target Field: In the properties window, look for the “Target” field. This field contains the path to the League of Legends executable file. You need to add a command line argument to this path to specify the language.
4. Add the Language Code: Add the command line argument --locale=pt_BR for Brazilian Portuguese or --locale=pt_PT for European Portuguese to the end of the “Target” field. Make sure to add a space before the command line argument.
