I have to admit that this was the most frustrating thing and really painful punch in my 'total witcher fan and CDPR prayer' face.
[Some backstory] When i was preparing for my business trip to US (I'm from Russia, btw) i could not find a single box with physical edition in local stores because of [Dramatic drum roll] it was totally sold out. I was really upset that 10 hours in a jet i was planning to devote to Nth walkthrough of Witcher have become boring in a second. 'Ok, then, i will take one at the place,' i decided. Oh, boy, what a mistake was that. I bought a local copy on amazon and was trully happy till the moment i ran the game and could not find Russian language in it. Don't get me wrong. I gave a try to EN version just out of curiosity long time ago, but this game is running with slavic languages much way better because of the deep lore and some things which you cannot translate w/o loss of initial idea's charm. It is like playing e.g. Life is strange in Russian language.
It seems to me that even the famous fridge-running game aka TESV:Skyrim was way more prepared to this language issues, because i have German version which i (surprisingly) bought in my local city in Russia and, voila, it is proposing me to download the suitable language pack based on settings i defined.
I really have no idea regarding regional distinction in terms of language, but this makes me really REALLY sad and concerned about. I haven't returned the game because i still liked it a lot, but Ivasik aka Johnny and noble english speaking peasants getting me tilted from time to time.
And of course PLEASE release language packs!
I bought the physical copy of the Witcher 3 for Nintendo Switch in Poland and I can't download Russian language pack in the Eshop and in the game settings. Also three friends of mine bought the physical copy in Ukraine and they can't download Russian language too. We are waiting for the ability to download it about 2 months and didn't play the game, because we really love Russian voice acting. But this feature hasn't been added in the last 2 months... As you know, soon there will be New Year and Christmas holidays and many who would like to play the Witcher at that time in their native languages. What is the difficulty of disabling regional restrictions and just giving everyone the opportunity to download any language, as, for example, is done in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim?
CD Projekt Red and Saber Interactive (Switch port developers) we all love you so much, but please, give us a little love too, fix it as soon as possible. Give us this Christmas gift, please.
What did you do to play in your language?The issue is solved for LantinAmerican users, I'm really happy to play it in my language, now I don't have to skip most of the text, I really enjoy the translations.
It feels like having a brand new game.
Thanks for this awesome game.
And please, please, please, don't screw it on the next updates ...
Good luck for the ppl waiting for another languages to be fixed, I wish you a lot of patience (you'll need it because they do surprise unannounced fixes as we can see).
Yeah, for sure. I totally agree with you. It's so simple put the language packs on eShop. It's sad, guys. So sad. But we can't give up. Let's keep trying...Is it possible to create a petition asking for language packs to download?

Assassin's Creed has the language pack. Just choose which one you want and download.
That would solve everything if that were so!
They would have less headache and everyone would be pleased.

CDPR is not replying on any of their social media - FB, Twitter, Youtube, and even here on this forum. People got so frustrated that they put already effort of registering here - with hope that something will be done about that, and even that is not working.Is it possible to create a petition asking for language packs to download?

204 hours and i beat the game in ENG. I must admit English Geralt looks better for me with voice tone ,compare to Rus..Yen, good too though, but others..npc's just ruined game, just no, no no honestly. So now i will wait Language packs and patches, because in this switch port quite many bugs, honestly. And ONLY after NG+ and Neverland i will come back!.
P.S My advice for everyone ..just play, and don't torture yourself with waiting..if you don't have any issues with foreign languages
