If you own the game via EA App: Go to Game Library → click the game → SettingsGame PropertiesLanguage → 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.

Changing the language of Medal of Honor: Airborne from Russian to English is a common challenge for players who have purchased regional versions or installed specific localized copies. Unlike modern games with accessible in-game toggles, this classic title often requires manual adjustments to configuration files or the Windows Registry. Method 1: Modify the Configuration File (MOHASettings.ini)

The most direct way to change the language without reinstalling is by editing the game's initialization settings. Navigate to your Documents folder.

Open the following path: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\EA Games\Medal of Honor Airborne(tm)\Config\.

Locate and open MOHASettings.ini with a text editor like Notepad.

Use Ctrl + F to search for the line starting with Language=.

Change the value after the equals sign from RUS to UKE (for UK English) or INT (for International/US English). Save the file and restart the game. Method 2: Delete Localization Folders (Steam Version)

If the game defaults to Russian on Steam and the "Properties" language tab is missing or ineffective, you can force the English files by removing other localization folders.

Go to your Steam library, right-click Medal of Honor: Airborne, select Manage, then Browse local files.

Navigate to: ...\Medal of Honor Airborne\UnrealEngine3\Engine\.

Inside the Localization folder, you will see several subfolders (e.g., RUS, FRA, ITA, DEU, INT).

Delete all folders except for INT (which contains the English/International files).

Launch the game. The engine will be forced to use the only available localization data (English). Method 3: Windows Registry Edit

For some versions, the language is hardcoded into the Windows Registry. This method is more advanced but can override stubborn settings. Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.

Navigate to the following path (for 64-bit systems):HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne. Look for a string named Language or Locale. Double-click it and change the value: For Language, set it to English. For Locale, set it to en_EN or en_US. Close the Registry Editor and try launching the game. Important Considerations

Missing Files: If you change the settings but the game crashes or shows no text, your installation may lack the English localization files entirely. In this case, you may need to download an "English Language Pack" or "Patch" from community forums and place it in your game directory.

Backup: Always create a backup of any .ini file or registry key before making changes so you can revert if the game fails to launch.

To change the language of Medal of Honor: Airborne from Russian to English on PC, you can use the folder-deletion method or modify the Windows Registry. Method 1: Delete Localization Folders (Recommended)

This is the most common fix for the Steam version, as the language often cannot be changed through standard Steam properties .

Navigate to your game installation folder. By default, for Steam, this is:...\Steam\steamapps\common\Medal of Honor Airborne\UnrealEngine3\Engine\ Locate the Localization folder.

Inside, you will see multiple language folders (e.g., RUS, INT, FRA).

Delete every folder in this directory except for "INT" (International/English) .

Launch the game to see if the interface has reverted to English. Method 2: Windows Registry Edit

If deleting folders doesn't work, you can force the language change via the Registry Editor . Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to the following path (path may vary slightly depending on your system):

64-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne

32-bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne

Look for the following keys and double-click to modify them: Language: Change the value data to English . Locale: Change the value data to en_EN or int . Restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Method 3: Steam Properties

Before trying the more technical steps above, check if your version allows a simple toggle:

Right-click Medal of Honor: Airborne in your Steam Library . Select Properties... and go to the Language tab.

Choose English from the drop-down menu. If English is already selected but the game remains in Russian, refer to Method 1.

For most players, Method 1 (Registry) or Method 3 (Steam Properties) will solve the problem in under two minutes. The Russian-to-English switch for Medal of Honor: Airborne is not officially supported anymore since EA abandoned the game, but these community-tested tweaks work perfectly.

Once changed, you can finally enjoy the full cinematic experience of the 82nd Airborne Division without having to guess what your squadmates are saying. Good luck, soldier—now go take that bridge over the Canal.

Russian physical copies often have English voice but locked Russian text/menus. You can edit a configuration file.
