Minor problem with language

[Regulus_Outrider]

This is probably a stupidly easy to fix problem, but: when I add a language (or native language) to a character, it appears in Advantages rather than Languages box. How do I fix this?

GCA5 handles Languages as their own type of data, different from Advantages. So Languages that are added from the Languages list can only appear in the Languages places on the character, and anything added as an Advantage can not appear in the Languages places.

So, the question is, how is it that you're adding Advantages that are supposed to be Languages?

To fix it, you basically have to change those languages that are in the data files as Advantages into Languages, instead. This is not something you can fix on the character.

Are you using GCA4, or GCA5?

I am using gca5

Based on what Armin said, I think I know what to do
Will see...

So, if you're using GCA5 and the Languages as listed as Advantages, you're probably using a custom file that wasn't updated for the changes in GCA5 (which moved Languages and Cultural Familiarities into their own lists).

You'll just need to move all those language Advantages into a [Languages] block in the file. You'll also want to see if there's something like a Language Talent or something in the file that affects Languages, because that might also need to be adjusted to work properly.
