How do I change the language in the Sims 4?

Been checking the forums and whenver this question comes up the mod who replied to this thread moves it and the question magically disappears.

Hey

This might seem like a stupid question, but how do you uninstall the game and then instal it again?

I really want the game in english, but have no idea of how to uninstall it without doing anything that could damage the game.

My thoughts exactly, I was looking forward to this game, launch Origin, see the description and... I'm not allowed to buy this game in English ( http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/How-can-I-buy-Sims-4-in-English/td-p/3446315/jump-to/first-unrea... ).

This is beyond ridiculous, it's 2014, games are digitally downloadable ... and EA does "region locking". Really, EA? Especially a game like Sims where they don't really "speak" in any language so it's just the UI that needs to be translated... and I'm not even talking abut localization, I want teh NOT localized English version.

Unbelievable. This technically means that I don't have any legal option to get a digital version of Sims 4 in English .

It's pretty stupid not to include english language when you buy the game in other countries. I like my games in English, and you're telling me I have no way of getting this in English?

I bet language selection will be a separate DLC one day.

Which menu are you referring too? Are you referring the the game box art menu? The only thing that pops up for me is if I want to create a start menu shorcut  or desktop short cut. Ive unistalled the games twice.

I've got the opposite problem - I'm in Poland and I want the English version, but they only offer me one that has Polish, Czech and Russian. So the message is - yes, we have no issues selling you a game in multiple languages, but we don't think you would ever want to play in the English version. Sure, who on Earth speaks English, right?
