Now You Can Find Games Available In Over 100 Languages
For players that speak Indonesian, Slovak, Malay, Arabic, Hebrew, Serbian, Hindi, and any other language currently supported by Windows, it’s now possible to easily find the games that are available in your language. You can now pick from a much expanded list when indicating your language preferences on Steam, and when searching for games.

Setting your Steam language preferences will impact what languages content appears in and make it more likely that games in these languages are recommended to you and appear in discovery features across the Steam store. Your languages will also appear more prominently in search and on game store pages.
You can select a primary language and any number of secondary languages.
Primary Language will determine what language the Steam user interface is presented in, along with content across the Steam store and community such as game descriptions and user generated content.
Secondary Languages will allow you to see content in these languages such as store page descriptions and user reviews if not available in your primary language.
Additional Game Content Languages are not supported for Steam UI, store page descriptions, or user content, but will help you find games with content available in your languages.
Your language preferences impact the information that is available at a glance on game store pages and in the various filter options throughout Steam.
Game Store Pages: Your selected languages will automatically appear first on game store pages if that game supports the language. Additionally, if you are looking at a game that doesn’t support any of your selected languages, there will be a prominent note communicating that fact.
Search & Filters: Your selected languages will appear first as options to use in areas of Steam that offer filtering. This means you can quickly select one or more language to find just the games that are available in those languages if you wish. As an example, here is a search for games that support Indonesian language: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category1=998&supportedlang=indonesian
Games available in your languages are more likely to appear in discovery features such as the Steam Discovery Queue and in recommendations on the homepage of Steam.
Starting a few weeks ago, we made it possible for developers to tag their games with this expanded set of languages. In the time since, we’ve seen over 500 games add indication of support for one of these new languages.
Of course this is just the beginning, as more developers make use of these new tools to indicate support that may already be available in games, as well as when releasing new games.
