If you have the game through the EA App (formerly Origin) and the registry edit didn’t work, the settings may be stored in a local configuration file.
Step 1: Navigate to your “Documents” folder. Open the following folder path:
Documents\EA Games\Medal of Honor Airborne\Config
Step 2: Look for a file named MOHASettings.ini (or Default.ini).
Step 3: Right-click the file and open it with Notepad.
Step 4: Find the line that says:
Language = RUS or Language = RU
Step 5: Change it to:
Language = EN
Step 6: Find any line referencing SpeechLanguage or TextLanguage. Change those to EN as well.
Step 7: Save the file (File > Save).
Step 8: Right-click the file again, go to “Properties”, and check the box labeled “Read-only”. This prevents the game from changing the language back to Russian.
Step 9: Launch the game. It should now be in English.
If the menus are in English but the character voices, radio chatter, and German soldiers are still speaking Russian, you need to swap the sound files.
Step 1: Find your game installation folder. Typical paths:
Step 2: Navigate to the UnrealEngine3\MOHAGame\CookedPC folder.
Step 3: Look for files with RUS in their name (e.g., MOHASound_RUS.upk or Dialog_RUS.pcc).
Step 4: Back up these files – copy them to a separate folder on your desktop in case something goes wrong. If you have the game through the EA
Step 5: Look for the English versions. They are usually named MOHASound_EN.upk or Dialog_EN.pcc. If they do not exist, you have two options:
Step 6: After replacing the files, launch the game. All audio should now be in English.
If you own the game via EA App: Go to Game Library → click the game → Settings → Game Properties → Language → select English.
If none of the above works, your copy may be a region-locked Russian release that requires a different executable. In that case, downloading an English MOHAGame.exe from a trusted source (legally problematic) or reinstalling via an English account is the only reliable fix.
If the registry method fails, the game may be reading a local configuration file.
Step 1: Navigate to your Medal of Honor: Airborne installation folder.
Step 2: Inside the main folder, look for a file named MOHASettings.ini or settings.ini. (Sometimes it is hidden in a Config subfolder). If the menus are in English but the
Step 3: Open the file with Notepad.
Step 4: Find the line that says Language=RUS or Language=Russian.
Step 5: Change it to Language=ENG.
Step 6: Save the file (Right-click Notepad → “Run as administrator” if it won’t save).
Step 7: Restart the game.
This is the standard method for most PC versions of the game (including retail discs and older digital downloads). The game reads a specific "Locale" entry in the Windows Registry to determine which language files to load.
Follow these steps carefully:
