The idea

Add separate options in the settings menu to independently choose the language for in-game audio/voice-overs and the language for in-game text (UI, menus, and subtitles).

Why it would help:

Better immersion & original performance: Many players prefer experiencing the original voice acting (or a specific dub they enjoy) while still being able to read menus, item descriptions, and subtitles in their native language.
Accessibility & comprehension: Non-native speakers who enjoy foreign audio won't miss critical story details, lore, or complex gameplay mechanics due to language barriers.
Language learning: It is a great tool for players practicing a new language, allowing them to listen to the target language while relying on familiar text/subtitles (or vice versa).
Standard quality-of-life feature: Decoupling audio and text languages is a widely appreciated accessibility standard in modern games that gives players full control over their experience.
