Language and Subtitle Options - Any Audio Any Text

🎮 **Put the language experience of "Hogwarts Legacy" completely under your control! ** This module allows you to set the game audio and subtitle/menu languages ​​separately to achieve true "any audio with any text".

✨ Core Functions

  • **Audio and Text Separation**: In-game audio (dubbing) and displayed text (subtitles, menus) can come from different language packs.
  • **Free Combination**: For example, you can enjoy English dubbing while reading Simplified Chinese subtitles and menus.
  • **EASY INSTALL**: Configure in just a few steps.

📥 Installation Guide

  • **Set audio language** (Steam version)
  • Right click on the game in your Steam library.
  • Select Properties > Language > Select your desired **audio language**.
  • **Download and unzip** this module file.
  • **Install subtitle language pack**
  • Copy the `.pak` file (e.g. `Chinese.pak`) corresponding to your desired **subtitle language** to the game's `~mods` folder.

  • ⚠️ If the `~mods` folder does not exist, please create one manually.

🛠️Advanced: Make your own language pack

If you are not satisfied with the existing combination, or want to customize it in depth, you can follow the official guidelines below to create your own language module:

**Important Tips During the Personalization Process**:

  • **File type distinction**: `Main-XX.bin` files usually control UI text, `Sub-XX.bin` files control dialogue subtitles. (`XX` is the language extension, see below)
  • **Editing Tool**: It is recommended to use **Notepad++** to edit the `.json` file converted from the `.bin` file.
  • **Basic replacement principle**: To put it simply, copy and replace the text content in language A that you want into the `.json` file framework corresponding to language B.
  • **File name is key**: The final generated `.json` file name** must match** the audio language code you set on Steam (for example, if Steam is set to English, the file should be `SUB-enUS.json`, even if it contains Chinese content).
  • **Font files**: When packaging, even if no new fonts are added, the original font file directory structure must be included.
  • **Packaging directory**: When using `unrealpak.exe` to package, please ensure that the directory structure is completely consistent with the structure exported from FModel.

  • `arAE` = Arabic
  • `deDE` = German

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
