This is a god send.

I've been using Switch games to learn Japanese, and I'm forever having to reboot to switch languages instead of just being able to set them per-game. Some games let you do it, most don't.

Thanks for your work on this.

to be fair you could have used this https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.8.10, but I'm glad you're getting use out of it

Cool.
I wonder how does it work? Is it a config .ini editor?

yeah, pretty much. it creates config files https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.8.10

Anticipating this question:
No, it doesn't work with SX OS because TX didn't implement this feature.

TBH I wasn't aware of it. But even so, you've streamlined the process so it's still a great contribution

Super homebrew, thank you very much!..
A little request: make the Language and Region lists sorted in a most used order.

For example: the default language list is:

> English, Japanese, French, German, Italian

But when one edited the game's language to French (only for example, it can be any other user's language), next time it'll be like this:

> French, English, Japanese German, Italian.

The same idea with the Region, too.

---

PS: ..and another one: if you could, maybe the program can show the game's current language and region of the game:

Thanks for this it's a life savior right now when I want to play Zelda in English, but my girlfriend wants everything else in her native language!

I read/know you can just change the config files directly. But this keeps everything simple, fast and user friendly when you just use tinfoil and usb to add new games. After that just launch this tool set language for the newly added game and you are good to go!

Does this still work with the latest firmware & Atmosphere? It crashes the system when loading on my Switch.

I've just pushed a new version with what I think should fix a couple bugs. Let me know how it goes

Thank you, will test shortly

Cool app, indeed does work

I assume this doesn't work for Hekate? When the switch boots up it shows the atmo logo though, but any change i make within the tool doesn't show up afterwards.

Edit: Even when i boot directly with Fusee.bin it wont work for me, nothing changes.

I am running Emunand - version 13.0.0, am i missing something? :X

Can you make sure /atmosphere/contents/<title id of your game>/config.ini exists? If so, can you show me it's contents?

Thank you for the quick reply!

I have checked that folder and the title ID shows up, but there is no config.ini located. I check the other titleid folders too, but none have a config.ini

Uh, that is most odd. I just tried on my console and it did it, not sure what could be happening. Is you card formatted in exFAT by any chance?
In case we don't figure it out, you could always do it manually https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/releases/tag/0.8.10

I use Fat32, what exactly can i do manually? I see a lot of info on that github link

this is how config.ini should look

override_language=ru
