If you're using atmosphere:

Support was added for configuring language/region on a per-game basis.
This is managed by editing atmosphere/titles/<title id>/config.ini for the game.
To edit title language, edit override_config!override_language.
The languages supported are ja, en-US, fr, de, it, es, zh-CN, ko, nl, pt, ru, zh-TW, en-GB, fr-CA, es-419, zh-Hans, zh-Hant.
To edit title region, edit override_config!override_region.
The regions supported are jpn, usa, eur, aus, chn, kor, twn.

there are many games where you could change language in Settings or Options in game

oh, that's a cool feature. Thanks! I'll try it

Some games require you to have the system language changed, for example: Octopath Traveller

If you're using atmosphere:

Hi, may I know I don't see any config.ini files in my title folders? I only saw flags folder and exefs.nsp

Yep they're not there by default, you'll have to create them if you want to change language/region settings.

Thank you for the reply. I just put "override_config!override_language=ja" inside the config.ini file but it still display English. Is there any specific format? If yes please teach me, thanks!

That looks like it should work, are you sure you got the right titleid for the game you're trying to change?
