Common Issues & Tips
- Only audio changes, not subtitles? Some languages only affect voice‑over; subtitles may require an extra config edit. In the
.ini file, also check for Subtitles = en and change accordingly.
- Language reverts on launch: Set the
.ini file to Read‑Only after editing.
- Missing text or boxes instead of letters: Your chosen language needs a specific font file. Reinstall the game with the correct language pack or verify game files.
- Steam version stubborn: Right‑click the game in Steam > Properties > Language tab – select your language there. Steam will download the necessary files.
- Focus on mood over minutiae: Language choices align with the game’s intent to be a living fairy tale rather than a historically grounded epic. Poetic English and invented scripts foreground atmosphere.
- Technical and production constraints: Localizing an invented script or creating fully voiced content in multiple authentic regional languages would increase scope and cost; stylized English plus visual glyphs is a pragmatic compromise.
- Player-centered clarity: For many players, clear emotional beats trump linguistic authenticity. Using English ensures intended emotional cues are reliably received.
