#Is changing the console region in order to change the language against the terms and conditions?

Sometimes it is mandatory because there are many games (even from Microsoft) that do not have a language selector and only use the one that the console has, without the possibility of choosing another one unless you change the region. This is especially shocking in the case of Portuguese or Spanish since there may only be translations for another language but by default and poor design of the localization system causes that instead of using the one from another region with the same language, it uses English by default.

And how do you change the language of the games on PC and on xcloud?

Changing your region to one you do not live in is not allowed.

Not every game has full audio dubs or just subtitles. It all depends on if the game have localizations in that language.

How do I change the language of a game on the Xbox console without changing the region? For example, for Orc Must Die Deathtrap (it's on gamepass) I had to change the language region to change the language since the game doesn't give the option to change the language.

I haven't changed the location.

Changing the console language doesn't help to be able to choose the correct language in the game.

This particular game has a language translation but the region must be changed. Remember that there are countries with several languages, language variants, etc.

The config menu in console Xbox is
System. Language & Location.
-Language
-Laguage Region
-Location

There are language options in game. Changing the language on Xbox will auto select the language in-game as default to match.

If you've seen that option in the game, could you tell me where? And on the way, also in Doom Eternal, which I didn't find either. We're talking about consoles.
Precisely in Xbox reviews, twitter and reddit there were complaints about the lack of it on console for Orc Must Die Deathtrap at launch.

In my experience, many games use the system language by default without having the possibility to choose a language, on PC at least there are ways to modify files when that happens but on console we don't have that option.

As I mentioned it seems that the games use the region setting to choose the game language...

But for example if I go to Japan... I don't want to play the games in Japanese O.o. Or if you are in Switzerland..., there is German, French, Italian... but as I mentioned there are games that don't have a language selector even though they are available in the game.

Logically all this that I mention is because the games have the languages ​​included but not a language selector ^^.
Example... Minecraft, has 2 English variants, 2 Portuguese, 2 Spanish.
And then there are games that may have only text or audio in some of those variants but not in another of their variants.

That is why this option is important and that is why I want to know the important difference between region, language and location in these options and if there is any alternative.

The general language option of the console does not allow you to choose variants and therefore change languages ​​within the game because it does not use the same variable apparently.

if u visit another country i dont believe u need to change ur region only change ur region if u are moving there

Right that's why i would suggest looking in the store as all games will list what language is supported but this may not be the same for you and me as we maybe in different locations.
