The language setting of the Steam client affects the language setting in installed games. Not every Steam account owner knows English enough to understand what is at stake in a particular game and what task is to be performed. In this case, you need to change the English language to Russian.
The language in the Steam client is installed depending on which language is used in the operating system of the PC, unless another option was selected during the installation of the client. The language setting in the installed games and programs depends on what language is installed in the Steam client (provided that the required language is supported). If desired, you can change the language both in the Steam client itself, and for each game separately.
How to change the language in the Steam client from English to Russian
To change the interface language in the Steam client, you need to do the following:
- Log in to your Steam account.
- In the upper left corner you need to select the item "Steam".
- Then go to the "Settings" item and select the "Interface" tab in the window that opens.
- Choose instead of English Russian (or any other language from the list of available ones) and confirm your choice by clicking "OK"
- In order for the settings to take effect, you need to restart the Steam client. After restarting the client, Steam will install games and applications in Russian, if it is in the list of available ones.
