Title: [REQUEST] FIFA 17 English Language Pack / Commentary Files
Post:
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for the English language pack (specifically the English commentary and menu text) for FIFA 17. I have a copy of the game that didn’t come with English files.
Before anyone posts links to sketchy .exe files or "password protected" rar files from ad-ridden sites — please don't.
A few questions for the group:
- Is it even possible to add just the English pack to an existing install?
- Does anyone know which specific
.bigfiles control the English commentary (usuallyeng_us.bigor similar)?
SAFE ALTERNATIVE (Legit method): If you own the game on Origin (EA App) or Steam, you don’t need to download a cracked pack. Just go to:
- EA App: Game Library → FIFA 17 → Settings → Manage → Language
- Steam: Right-click FIFA 17 → Properties → Language → Select English
The launcher will download only the missing files automatically (approx 2–3 GB).
If you are using a non-legit version, asking for language packs is a red flag and will likely get this thread deleted. Please support the developers.
⚠️ Warning to others: Searching for "fifa 17 english language pack download free" on Google leads to fake files. If a site asks you to "disable your antivirus" or download a "download manager," close it immediately.

FIFA 17 English Language Pack Download & Setup Guide Getting your copy of FIFA 17 into English can be a challenge if your version is region-locked to languages like Russian or Polish. While the official EA servers for FIFA 17 were shut down in February 2023, you can still update your local game files to include English menus and commentary. Official Methods to Change Language
Before downloading external packs, try the built-in settings provided by EA Help:
In-Game Menu: Launch FIFA 17 and go to Customize > Settings > Game Settings. Use the right analog stick to navigate to the Language Select screen.
Audio Settings: To change the commentary specifically, head to the Audio tab in Game Settings and look for Commentary Language.
EA App / Origin: If you are on PC, right-click the game in your library, select Properties, and check the Advanced Launch Options. You can often set the "Game Language" to English here, which triggers a download of approximately 1GB for the language files.

Step 3: Backup Your Original Files
Navigate to your FIFA 17 installation folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA 17\Data\
Create a new folder named BACKUP_ORIG_LANG. Copy your existing:
locale.big- Any
*.bigand*.sbfiles containing commentary (e.g.,ger_de.big,pol_pl.big)
3. What If English Is Still Missing?
- Your disc region may not include English. For example, a Russian or Japanese copy of FIFA 17 might lack English commentary.
- The only legitimate fix is to purchase a version from an English-speaking region (e.g., UK, US).

Even with the correct FIFA 17 English language pack download free, problems can occur. Here are solutions:
